Classic tests of General Relativity described by brane-based spherically symmetric solutions

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

We discuss a way to obtain information about higher dimensions from observations by studying a brane-based spherically symmetric solution. The three classic tests of General Relativity are analyzed in details: the perihelion shift of the planet Mercury, the deflection of light by the Sun, and the gravitational redshift of atomic spectral lines. The braneworld version of these tests exhibits an additional parameter bb related to the fifth-coordinate. This constant bb can be constrained by comparison with observational data for massive and massless particles.
