The scattering of a photon by a weak external gravitational field which is solution of the linearized higher-derivative gravity equations sourced by a point-like massive particle located at the origin of the coordinate system, is analyzed. It is shown that the [Formula: see text]-sector of the theory produces dispersive photon propagation. Subsequently, the angle |Δθ|(≡|θ violet -θ red |) at which the visible spectrum would be spread over in the case of a photon passing by the Sun is plotted as a function of the |β|-constant related to the [Formula: see text]-sector. An upper bound on |β| is then found. Interestingly enough, this limit is thirteen orders of magnitude below the accepted upper bound on |β|.

Curvature Approximation

We investigate the effect of an external gravitational fields to the chiral symmetry breaking in the supersymmetric (SUSY) Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model coupled to gravity in a non-supersymmetric way. Evaluating the effective potential in the leading order of the 1/Nc-expansion and in the linear curvature approximation, it is possible to have the chiral symmetry breaking in the SUSY NJL model in an external gravitational fields. In the broken phase the dynamically generated mass is analytically and numerically calculated.

Accelerated Particles

Ernst’s procedure of removing the nodal singularity in the C-metric is applied to the solutions for uniformly accelerated particles of Bonnor & Swaminarayan ( Z . Phys . 177, 240 (1964)). A new solution representing two independent Curzon-Chazy particles falling freely in opposite directions in an external gravitational field is constructed. It is therefore not asymptotically flat. This solution is then shown to follow from the original solutions of Bonnor & Swaminarayan for two independent pairs of uniformly accelerated particles if a limiting procedure, namely removing one particle in each pair to infinity and increasing its mass simultaneously, is performed. In this manner, a clear physical interpretation is given both to generalized Bonnor & Swaminarayan solutions constructed here and to generalized C-metric solutions found by Ernst in 1978.
