It has been known shortly after the introduction of the general relativity theory that the electrostatic Coulomb potential of a point charge supported in a gravitational field is not spherically symmetric and becomes warped in curved space. Under ordinary laboratory conditions, this effect is quite small and has never been directly observed. Surprisingly, this distortion causes the appearance of a hitherto unknown, topologically complex non-central van der Waals force whose detection is well within range of existing trapped atom interferometry techniques. This will allow for an unexpected experimental test of gravity theory by means of quantum-electro-dynamical interatomic forces.

In this paper, we have studied nonstationary radiative spherically symmetric spacetime, in general covariant theory (U(1) extension) of Hořava–Lifshitz (HL) gravity without the projectability condition and in the infrared (IR) limit. The Newtonian prepotential φ was assumed null. We have shown that there is not the analogue of the Vaidya's solution in the Hořava–Lifshitz Theory (HLT), as we know in the General Relativity Theory (GRT). Therefore, we conclude that the gauge field A should interact with the null radiation field of the Vaidya's spacetime in the HLT.

Photon Frequency

It has been well known that there is a redshift of photon frequency due to the gravitational potential. Scott et al. [Can. J. Phys. 44 (1966) 1639, https://doi.org/10.1139/p66-137 ] pointed out that general relativity theory predicts the gravitational redshift. However, using the quantum mechanics theory related to the photon Hamiltonian and photon Schrodinger equation, we calculate the redshift due to the gravitational potential. The result is exactly the same as that from the general relativity theory.

The paper is concerned with the spherically symmetric static problem of the General Relativity Theory. The classical solution of this problem found in 1916 by K. Schwarzschild for a particular metric form results in singular space metric coefficient and provides the basis of the objects referred to as Black Holes. A more general metric form applied in the paper allows us to obtain the solution which is not singular. The critical radius of the fluid sphere, following from this solution does not coincide with the traditional gravitational radius. For the spheres with radii that are less than the critical value, the solution of GRT problem does not exist.

Proper Force

Born's reciprocal relativity in flat space–times is based on the principle of a maximal speed limit (speed of light) and a maximal proper force (which is also compatible with a maximal and minimal length duality) and where coordinates and momenta are unified on a single footing. We extend Born's theory to the case of curved space–times and construct a reciprocal general relativity theory (in curved space–times) as a local gauge theory of the quaplectic group and given by the semidirect product [Formula: see text], where the non-Abelian Weyl–Heisenberg group is H(1, 3). The gauge theory has the same structure as that of complex non-Abelian gravity. Actions are presented and it is argued why such actions based on Born's reciprocal relativity principle, involving a maximal speed limit and a maximal proper force, is a very promising avenue to quantize gravity that does not rely in breaking the Lorentz symmetry at the Planck scale, in contrast to other approaches based on deformations of the Poincaré algebra, quantum groups. It is discussed how one could embed the quaplectic gauge theory into one based on the U(1, 4), U(2, 3) groups where the observed cosmological constant emerges in a natural way. We conclude with a brief discussion of complex coordinates and Finsler spaces with symmetric and nonsymmetric metrics studied by Eisenhart as relevant closed-string target space backgrounds where Born's principle may be operating.

The gravitational field manifests itself in the motion of bodies. Therefore the problem of determining the motion of such bodies from the field equations alone is of fundamental importance. This problem was solved for the first time some ten years ago and the equations of motion for two particles were then deduced [1]. A more general and simplified version of this problem was given shortly thereafter [2].Mr. Lewison pointed out to us, that from our approximation procedure, it does not follow that the field equations can be solved up to an arbitrarily high approximation. This is indeed true.

In this paper, we have studied nonstationary radiative spherically symmetric spacetime, in general covariant theory (U(1) extension) of the Hořava–Lifshitz gravity with the minimum coupling, in the parameterized post-Newtonian (PPN) approximation, without the projectability condition and in the infrared limit. The Newtonian prepotential φ was assumed null. We have shown that there is not the analog of the Vaidya's solution in the Hořava–Lifshitz Theory with the minimum coupling, as we know in the General Relativity Theory (GRT).
