Lagrange scalar densities which are concomitants of two scalar fields, a pseudo-Riemannian metric tensor, and their derivatives of arbitrary differential order are investigated in a space of four-dimensions. I construct the most general…
It has been claimed that during the late time history of our universe, the fine structure constant of electromagnetism, $\alpha$, has been increasing (Webb et al. 2001; Murphy et al. 2003). The conclusion is achieved after looking at the…
