Effective time variation of G in a model universe with variable space dimension

Abstract

Time variation of Newtonian gravitational constant, G, is studied in model universes with variable space dimension proposed recently. Using the Lagrangian formulation of these models, we find the effective gravitational constant as a function of time. To compare it with observational data, a test theory for the time variation of G is formulated. We have assumed a power law behavior of the time variation of G where the exponent β is itself time dependent. Within this test theory we are able to restrict the free parameter of the theories under consideration and give upper bounds for the space dimension at the Planck era. The time variation of G at earlier times, such as the time of nucleosynthesis is also predicted which express the needs to look for related observational data.

Study of the anomalous acceleration of Pioneer 10 and 11

“…Mansouri, Nasseri and Khorrami [147] argue that there is an effective time variation in the Newtonian gravitational constant that in turn may be related to the anomaly. In particular, they consider the time evolution of G in a model universe with variable space dimensions.…”

An approach for designing passive power filters for industrial power systems by using gravitational search algorithm

“…The principle says that two particles attract each other with forces directly proportional to the product of their masses divided by the square of the distance between them.This condition is represented by Eq. (6) where F is the force in Newtons, m 1 and m 2 are the masses of the masses in kilograms, G is the gravitational constant, and R is the distance between the masses in meters [20,22,23]. Newton's second law can be expressed as a mathematical formula for the amount of force needed to accelerate an object.The change in acceleration is directly proportional to the magnitude of the force applied to the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.…”

“…(12) calculates gravitational constant G(t) in time t. T is number of iterations, G(t 0 ) initial value of gravitational constant, t also refers to the moment of iteration [20][21][22][23][24]. (13) where, m pi (t), m aj (t) active and passive masses respectively, at iteration tR ij (t) is the Euclidian distance between two masses i th and j th at iteration t. ε is a small constant [20 ÷ 24].…”

“…(10), (11) and (12) approach the corresponding equations in the constant D 0 -space [3,4]. A complete discussion of the field equations of L II has been given in [3].…”

“…Interest in a speculative model in which the number of space dimension decreases continuously as the Universe expands has increased during the past few years [1][2][3][4][5].…”
