Scale-Relativistic Estimate of the Fine Structure Constant
نویسنده
چکیده
The low energy value of the fine structure constant is theoretically estimated to within 1‰ of its observed value in the framework of the theory of scale relativity, in which the Planck length-scale is reinterpreted as a lowest, limiting, unpassable length, invariant under dilatations. This estimate is performed by using the renormalization group equations to evolve the QED coupling constant from infinite energy, where the bare mean electroweak coupling is assumed to reach its “natural” value 1/4π, down to the electron energy. A consequence of this calculation is that the number of Higgs boson doublets is predicted to be NH = 1. Completed: 28 December 1992 Revised: 14 April 1993

Scale-Relativistic Estimate of the SU(3), SU(2) and U(1) Couplings
The value of the SU(3) coupling constant is estimated in the framework of the scale-relativistic minimal standard model. It is evolved, thanks to its renormalization group equation, from the GUT scale (which is identified with the Planck mass in scale relativity) where its value is conjectured to be 1/4π, to the Z boson scale, where its value is predicted to be 0.115. We also discuss the emerge...
متن کاملGeneral relativistic hydrodynamic flows around a static compact object in final stages of accretion flow
Dynamics of stationary axisymmetric configuration of the viscous accreting fluids surrounding a non-rotating compact object in final stages of accretion flow is presented here. For the special case of thin disk approximation, the relativistic fluid equations ignoring self-gravity of the disk are derived in Schwarzschild geometry. For two different state equations, two sets of self-consistent an...
متن کاملVariable Fine Structure Constant from Maximal-acceleration Phase Space Relativity
Recently, we presented a new physical model that links the maximum speed of light with the minimal Planck scale into a maximal-acceleration Relativity principle in the spacetime tangent bundle and in phase spaces (cotangent bundle). The maximal proper-acceleration bound is a = c/Λ in full agreement with the old predictions of Caianiello, the Finslerian geometry point of view of Brandt and more ...

Atomic optical clocks and search for variation of the fine structure constant. Abstract Theories unifying gravity and other interactions suggest the possibility of spatial and temporal variation of physical " constants ". Accuracy achieved for the atomic optical frequency standards (optical clocks) approaches the level when possible time evolution of the fine structure constant α can be studied...
متن کاملRepresentations of U(2∞) and the Value of the Fine Structure Constant
A relativistic quantum mechanics is formulated in which all of the interactions are in the four-momentum operator and Lorentz transformations are kinematic. Interactions are introduced through vertices, which are bilinear in fermion and antifermion creation and annihilation operators, and linear in boson creation and annihilation operators. The fermionantifermion operators generate a unitary Li...
