Quantum Corrections to Newton ’ s Law †
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a new approach to quantum gravity starting from Feynman's formulation for the simplest example, that of a scalar field as the representative matter. We show that we extend his treatment to a calculable framework using resummation techniques already well-tested in other problems. Phenomenological consequences for Newton's law are described.

Newton's Second Law in a Noncommutative Space
In this work we show that corrections to the second Newtons law appears if we assume that the phase space has a symplectic structure consistent with the rules of commutation of the noncommutative quantum mechanics. In the central field case we find that the correction term breaks the rotational symmetry. In particular, for the Kepler problem, this term takes the form of a Coriolis force produce...
متن کاملNonlocal Effective Gravitational Field Equations and the Running of Newton ’ s
Non-perturbative studies of quantum gravity have recently suggested the possibility that the strength of gravitational interactions might slowly increase with distance. Here a set of generally covariant effective field equations are proposed, which are intended to incorporate the gravitational, vacuum-polarization induced, running of Newton's constant G. One attractive feature of this approach ...
متن کاملExperimental Status of Corrections to Newton’s Gravitational Law Inspired by Extra Dimensional Physics
Corrections to Newton’s gravitational law inspired by extra dimensional physics and by the exchange of light and massless elementary particles between the atoms of two macrobodies are considered. These corrections can be described by the potentials of Yukawa-type and by the power-type potentials with different powers. The strongest up to date constraints on the corrections to Newton’s gravitati...

Motivated by recent work on low energy unification, in this short note we derive corrections on Newton's inverse square law due to the existence of extra decompactified dimensions. In the four-dimensional macroscopic limit we find that the corrections are of Yukawa type. Inside the compactified space of n-extra dimensions the sub-leading term is proportional to the (n + 1)-power of the distance...
متن کاملDeviations from the 1 / r 2 Newton law due to extra dimensions and α ′ - corrections
Deviations from the 1/r 2 Newton law due to extra dimensions and α ′-corrections Abstract We systematically examine corrections to the gravitational inverse square law, which are due to compactified extra dimensions, and to higher-derivative R 2-terms in the effective gravitational action. We find that both induce Yukawa-type potentials for which we calculate the strength α and range. In genera...
