Field Equations and Equations of Motion in Post-Newtonian Approximation of the Projective Unified Field Theory

The equations of motion of $N$ gravitationally bound bodies are derived from the field equations of Projective Unified Field Theory. The Newtonian and the post-Newtonian approximations of the field equations and of the equations of motion of this system of bodies are studied in detail. In analyzing some experimental data we performed some numeric estimates of the ratio of the inertial mass to the scalaric mass of matter.

Implications upon theory discrimination of an accurate measurement of the time rate of change of the gravitational parameter and other cosmological parameters

A substantial improvement in the accuracy of G-dot tests (The dot denotes the time derivative.) would make it realistic to speak in terms of a measurement of G-dot, rather than merely a smaller upper bound on |G-dot|. We show that the accuracy delta|G-dot/G| \approx 10^-14 yr^-1 may be sufficient, given the accuracy of other cosmological parameters, to observe effects predicted by higher dimensions theories and, hence, to discriminate among different models. The Ġ design goal for the SEE (Satellite Energy Exchange) mission is delta(G-dot/G) \approx 10^-14 yr^-1.
