In Curved Spacetime, Gravitation and Cosmology > s.a. cosmological acceleration; equivalence principle; kaluza-klein phenomenology.
* Idea: It has been invoked as a stabilization mechanism for the internal Kaluza-Klein dimensions; May occur in cosmology if the cosmological constant originates from zero-point energy; Used as a force between defects and branes.
