White dwarf stars inDdimensions

Abstract: We derive the mass-radius relation of relativistic white dwarf stars (modeled as a self-gravitating degenerate Fermi gas at T = 0) in a D-dimensional universe and study the influence of the dimension of space on the laws of physics when we combine quantum mechanics, special relativity and gravity. We exhibit characteristic dimensions D = 1, D = 2, D = 3, D = (3 + √ 17)/2, D = 4, D = 2(1 + √ 2) and show that quantum mechanics cannot balance gravitational collapse for D ≥ 4. This is similar to a result found by … Show more

“…The condensation temperature for Bose gas as well as the Fermi temperature for Fermi gas should be affected with such NC spacetime. The former case is interesting in the scalar field dark matter model [37], where the dark matter particle is a spin-0 boson, while the latter is important in the case of Chandrashekhar limit [38]. Generalisation of standard cosmology result in this current framework is the next program that we wish to take up.…”

“…In [62] a complete heuristic study, following the original work of Landau (see, e.g, [64]), was performed. Then in [63], the full study, following the original works of Chandrasekhar (see, e.g, [65]), was completed. The main conclusion is that there are no Newtonian solutions for degenerate stars in higher dimensions, thus no general relativistic solutions also, the Fermi pressure energy cannot balance the gravitational energy.…”
