If that is the case, gravity would be stronger at short ranges than what Newtonian gravity predicts. LEDs could also have effects at atomic level. In this paper we propose a new method to constrain the size of ‘gravity-only’ LEDs by analysing how these LEDs modify the energy of the atomic transitions 1s-2s and 2s-2p （Lamb shift）, in the particular case of the hydrogen and muonium atoms. We estimate these effects by using Bethe＇s non-relativistic treatment of Lamb shift. In the particular case of three LEDs, which may be a candidate to explain the interaction mechanism of dark matter particles, we have found that current knowledge in atomic spectroscopy could constrain their sizes to less than 10 μm. Although our contributions do not reach the sensitivity given by SN1987a, they are still slightly better than recent constraints given by Inverse Square Law tests of the Eoet-Wash group at Washington University, which gave R3 〈 36.6 μm.展开更多

In this paper, we generalize some aspects of this model to the Reissner Nordstrom （RN） like geometries with large extra dimensions.

We find that the virtual Kaluza-Klein graviton exchange can significantly enhance the cross section from their standard model expectations for these two processes. The results show that the LED effect on the process e＋ e-→＋ H^0 Z^0 Z^0 allows the observation limits on the effective scale Ms to be probed up to 9. 75 TeV and 10.1 TeV in the unpolarized and ＋-（λe＋ =1/2, λe-= -1/2） polarized beam collision modes （with Pe＋ = 0.6, Pe-=0.8）, respectively. For the process e＋ e-→＋ H^0 H^0 Z^0, these limits on Ms can be probed up to 6.06 TeV and 6.38 TeV in the unpolarized and polarized collision modes separately. We find that the λe＋ = 1/2, λe-= -1/2 polarization collision mode in both processe＋ e-→＋ H^0 Z^0 Z^0 and e＋ e-→＋ H^0 H^0 Z^0 may provide a possibility to improve the sensitivity in probing the LED effects.展开更多

An interpretation is made in the light of a holographic principle, in the sense that motions in ordinary space are connected with motions on a selected surface and vice versa. Then ordinary space is conceived as a 3-hypersurface bounding a n-hypervolume where gravitation takes origin, within a n-hyperspace. The extension of the holographic principle to extra dimensions implies the existence of a minimum distance where test particles may still be considered as distinct from the central body. Below that threshold, it is inferred test particles lose theirs individuality and “glue” to the central body via unification of the four known interactions and, in addition, 1) particles can no longer be conceived as point-like but e.g., strings or membranes, and 2) quantum effects are dominant and matter turns back to a pre-big bang state. A more detailed formulation including noncircular motions within the context of general relativity, together with further knowledge on neutron stars, quark stars and black holes, would provide further insight on the formulation of quantum gravity.展开更多

Here an earlier study by the author [Phys. Rev. D 98, 064041 (2018)] is extended in several significant ways. To begin with, the extra spatial dimension is assumed to be time dependent, while the redshift and shape functions, as well as the extra dimension, are functions of both r and l, the respective radial and extra coordinates;the last of these is therefore a function of r, l, and t. The main objective is to determine the conditions that allow the throat of the wormhole to be threaded with ordinary matter (by respecting the null energy condition) and that the same conditions lead to a violation of the null energy condition in the fifth dimension, which is therefore responsible for sustaining the wormhole. The dependence of the extra dimension on l and t is subject to additional conditions that are subsequently analyzed in this paper. Finally, the extra dimension may be extremely small or even curled up.展开更多

We examine both the massive and the massless dimensions to the Casimir energy and Casimir force of scalar field. The total spacetime topology is M^D × Tθ2, where M^D） is the D-dimensional Minkowski spacetime and Tθ2 the twisted torus described by R1, R2, and 8. For the case R1 = R2 we found that the massive bulk scalar field Casimir energy is singular for D=even and this singularity is R-dependent and remains even when the force is calculated. Also the massless Casimir energy and force is regular only for D = 4 （!）. This is very interesting phenomenologically. We examine the energy and force as a function of 8. Also we address the stabilization problem of the compact space. We also briefly discuss some phenomenological implications.展开更多

It requires that this kind of matter has an equation of state ω≡pr/ρ = -n/（n ＋ 2k）, k, n ∈ N （where n 〉 1 corresponds to a mixture of vacuum matter and ＂hair＂ matter）, which seems to be independent of D. However, when we associate this result with specific models, we find that these hairy black holes can live only in some special dimensional spacetime： （i） D = 2 ＋ 2k/n while the black hole is surrounded by cosmic strings, which requires D is even or D ∈ N, depending on the value of n, this is consistent with some important results in superstring theory, it might reveal the relation between cosmic string and superstring in another aspect; （ii） the black hole can be surrounded by linear dilaton field only in 4-dimensional spacetime. In both cases, D = 4 is special. We also present some examples of such hairy black holes in higher dimensions, including a toy model with negative energy density.展开更多

Using the generalized Abelian-Higgs model, we obtain the inner topological structure of the self-dual vortex and establish the exact self-duality equation with topological term. Then we analyze the Dirac operator on an extra torus and the effective Lagrangian of four-dimensional fermions with the self-dual vortex background. Solving the Dirac equation, the fermionic zero modes on a torus with the self-dual vortex background in two simple cases are obtained.展开更多

This symmetry breaking mechanism involves electric charge swap between ordinary families of leptons can and produces highly massive non-regular leptons of order 0 （1 TeV） mass unobservable at energy scales below 10 TeV （the scale of LEP Ⅰ, Ⅱ and neutrino oscillation experiments）. Electric charge swap between ordinary families of leptons produces heavy neutral non-regular leptons with order 0 （1 TeV） masses, which may form cold dark matter. The existence of these proposed leptons can be tested once the Large Hadron Collider （LHC） becomes operative at 10 TeV energy-scales. This proposition may have far reaching applications in astrophysics and cosmology.展开更多
