Orbits of light rays in scale-dependent gravity: Exact analytical solutions to the null geodesic equations

arXiv:2104.13611 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.103.104040

Abstract

We study photon orbits in the background of -dimensional static, spherically symmetric geometries. In particular, we have obtained exact analytical solutions to the null geodesic equations for light rays in terms of the Weierstraß function for space-times arising in the context of scale-dependent gravity. The trajectories in the plane are shown graphically, and we make a comparison with similar geometries arising in different contexts. The light deflection angle is computed as a function of the running parameter , and an upper bound for the latter is obtained.
