Variations of Constants and Exact Solutions in Multidimensional Gravity

  • Chapter
Gravitation and Modern Cosmology

Part of the book series: Ettore Majorana International Science Series ((EMISS,volume 56))

Abstract

Constants in any physical theory characterize the stability properties of matter. With the progress of science some theories substitute others, so new constants appear, some relations between them are being established. So, the number of fundamental constants is changing. At present such choice seems more preferable: c, h, e, m e,the Weinberg angle hw,Cabbibo angle hc, QCD cut-off parameter ΛQ C D,G,Hubble constant H, mean density of the Universe ρ, cosmological constant Λ. They may be classified as universal, as constants of interactions, and as constants of elementary constituents of matter [1].
