In Curved Spacetime, Gravitation and Cosmology > s.a. equivalence principle; kaluza-klein phenomenology.
* Idea: It has been invoked as a stabilization mechanism for the internal Kaluza-Klein dimensions, and used as a force between defects and branes; It may occur in cosmology if the cosmological constant originates from zero-point energy; It has been shown to obey the equivalence principle.
* In a quantum spacetime: Using loop quantum gravity results, all calculations are finite and one recovers the usual results without the need of regularization or renormalization.
