A violation of the distance-duality relation is directly linked with a temporal variation of the electromagnetic fine-structure constant. We consider a number of well-studied $f(T)$ gravity models and we revise the theoretical prediction of…

In this letter we compute the corrections to the fine structure constant in D-dimensional space. These corrections stem from the generalized uncertainty principle. We also discuss in three-space dimension.

The fundamental equations of particle motion lead to a modified Poisson equation including dynamic charge. This charge derives from density oscillations of a particle; it is not discrete, but continuous. Within the dynamic model of hydrogen…
