| Geodetic Precession in Squashed Kaluza-Klein Black Hole Spacetimes (2009) | |||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||
| We investigate the geodetic precession effect of a parallely transported spin-vector along a circular geodesic in the five-dimensional squashed Kaluza-Klein black hole spacetime. Then we derive the higher-dimensional correction of the precession angle to the general relativity. We find that the correction is proportional to the square of (size of extra dimension)/(gravitational radius of central object).. Comment: 12 pages, 1 figures | |||||||||
