A new class of monopole solutions in five-dimensional general relativity and the role of negative scalar field energy in vacuum solutions
Y. Balytskyi, D. Hoyer, A. O. Pinchuk +1
Using numerical algebra tools, new classes of monopole solutions are obtained to the static, spherically-symmetric vacuum field equations of five-dimensional general relativity. Fi…
Inductive rectilinear frame dragging and local coupling to the gravitational field of the universe
L. L. Williams, N. Inan
There is a drag force on objects moving in the background cosmological metric, known from galaxy cluster dynamics. The force is quite small over laboratory timescales, yet it appli…
Maxwellian mirages in general relativity
L. L. Williams, N. Inan
Maxwellian approximations to linear general relativity are revisited in light of relatively recent results on the degrees of freedom in the linear gravitational field. The well-kno…
Long-range scalar forces in five-dimensional general relativity
L. L. Williams
Kaluza first observed that the vacuum Einstein equations written in 5 dimensions (5D) reproduce exactly 4D general relativity and classical electrodynamics, when derivatives of the…
