نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider possible tests of the Einstein Equivalence Principle for quantum-mechanical vacuum energies by evaluating the Lamb shift transition in a class of non-metric theories of gravity described by the T Hǫµ formalism. We compute to lowest order the associated red shift and time dilation parameters, and discuss how (high-precision) measurements of these quantities could provide new information on the validity of the equivalence principle.

We consider the possibility of using measurements of anomalous magnetic moments of elementary particles as a possible test of the Einstein Equivalence Principle (EEP). For the class non-metric theories of gravity described by the T Hǫµ formalism we find several novel mechanisms for breaking the EEP, and discuss the possibilities of setting new empirical constraints on such effects.

This paper contains discussion of the problem of motion of extended i.e. non point test bodies in multidimensional space. Extended bodies are described in terms of so called multipole moments. Using approximated form of equations of motion for extended bodies deviation from geodesic motion is derived. Results are applied to special form of space-time.

It is shown that in the standard vacuum 5D Kaluza-Klein gravity there is a wormhole-like solution which look like a string attached to two D-branes. The asymptotical behaviour of the corresponding metric is investigated.
