It is shown that a transition from a multidimensional cosmological model with one internal space of the dimension d 1 to the effective tree-level bosonic string corresponds to an infinite number of the internal dimensions: d 1 → ∞.

A small fixed-mirror Michelson interferometer has been built in Frascati to experimentally study the alignment method that has been suggested for VIRGO. The experimental results fully confirm the adequacy of the method. The minimum angular misalignment that can be detected in the present setup is 10 nrad/ √ Hz.

A recent investigation shows that a local gauge string with a phenomenological energy momentum tensor, as prescribed by Vilenkin, is inconsistent in Brans-Dicke theory. In this work it has been shown that such a string is consistent in a more general scalar tensor theory where ω is function of the scalar field.A set of solutions of full nonlinear Einstein's equations for interior region of such...

The massless field perturbations of the accelerating Minkowski and Schwarzschild spacetimes are studied. The results are extended to the propagation of the Proca field in Rindler spacetime. We examine critically the possibility of existence of a general spin-acceleration coupling in complete analogy with the well-known spin-rotation coupling. We argue that such a direct coupling between spin an...
