Massive test particles motion in Kaluza-Klein gravity
Valentino Lacquaniti, Giovanni Montani, Daniela Pugliese
A class of static, vacuum solutions of (free-electromagnetic) Kaluza-Klein equations with three-dimensional spherical symmetry is studied. In order to explore the dynamic in such s…
Effective potential approach to the motion of massive test particles in Kaluza-Klein gravity
Valentino Lacquaniti, Giovanni Montani, Daniela Pugliese
Effective potential for a class of static solutions of Kaluza-Klein equations with three-dimensional spherical symmetry is studied. Test particles motion is analyzed. In attempts t…
Dimensional Reduction of the 5D Kaluza-Klein Geodesic Deviation Equation
V. Lacquaniti, G. Montani, F. Vietri
In the work of Kerner et al. (2001) the problem of the geodesic deviation in a 5D Kaluza Klein background is faced. The 4D space-time projection of the resulting equation coincides…
Recent developments on matter dynamics within the Kaluza-Klein picture
Valentino Lacquaniti, Giovanni Montani
In this paper we propose a new approach to matter dynamics in compactified Kaluza-Klein theories. We discard the idea that the motion is geodesic and perform a simultaneous reducti…
Geometry and Matter Reduction in a 5D Kaluza-Klein Framework
Valentino Lacquaniti, Giovanni Montani
In this paper we consider the Kaluza-Klein fields equations in presence of a generic 5D matter tensor which is governed by a conservation equation due to 5D Bianchi identities. Fol…
Perspectives in Cosmology, Gravitation and Multidimensions
Giovanni Montani, Nakia Carlevaro, Francesco Cianfrani +1
Recent developments from the activity of the CGM Group are discussed. Cosmological implications of fundamental approaches to quantization of gravity are presented in order to fix t…
