We analyze the existence of equilibrium points for a particle or dust grain in the framework of unperturbed and perturbed Robe’s motion. This particle is moving in a spherical nebula consisting of a homogeneous incompressible fluid, which is considered as the primary body. The second primary body creates the modified Newtonian potential. The perturbed mean motion and equations of motion are found. The equilibrium points (i.e. collinear, noncollinear and out–of–plane points), along with the required conditions of their existence are also analyzed. We emphasize that this analysis can be used to study the oscillations of the Earth’s core under the attraction of the Moon and it is also applicable to study the motion of underwater vehicles.

§1. In this paper we find solutions of Einstein’s gravitational equations G μν = 0 which give the field due to any static distribution of matter sym­metrical about an axis; in the later part of the paper an angular velocity about the axis is introduced. We take the ground form ds 2 = - e λ ( dx 2 + dr 2 ) - e -ρ r 2 d θ 2 + e ρ dt 2 , (1) where λ, ρ are functions of x and r . Further we take ρ to be the Newtonian potential of an auxiliary distribution of matter of density σ ( x, r ), the potential being calculated as though our co-ordinates were Euclidean. We find that it is then possible to determine λ, so that the equations G μν = 0 are exactly satisfied everywhere outside the auxiliary body. λ is nearly equal to —ρ, the quantity μ = λ + ρ being of the second order in terms of σ.

We investigate the weak-field limit of scalar-tensor theory of gravity and show that results are directly depending on the coupling and self-interaction potential of the scalar field. In particular, corrections are derived for the Newtonian potential. We discuss astrophysical applications of the results, in particular the flat rotation curves of spiral galaxies.

AbstractIn this paper, we study the phenomenon of quantum interference in the presence of external gravitational fields described by alternative theories of gravity. We analyze both non-relativistic and relativistic effects induced by the underlying curved background on a superposed quantum system. In the non-relativistic regime, it is possible to come across a gravitational counterpart of the Bohm–Aharonov effect, which results in a phase shift proportional to the derivative of the modified Newtonian potential. On the other hand, beyond the Newtonian approximation, the relativistic nature of gravity plays a crucial rôle. Indeed, the existence of a gravitational time dilation between the two arms of the interferometer causes a loss of coherence that is in principle observable in quantum interference patterns. We work in the context of generalized quadratic theories of gravity to compare their physical predictions with the analogous outcomes in general relativity. In so doing, we show that the decoherence rate strongly depends on the gravitational model under investigation, which means that this approach turns out to be a promising test bench to probe and discriminate among all the extensions of Einstein’s theory in future experiments.
