Probing variation of the fine-structure constant in runaway dilaton models using Strong Gravitational Lensing and Type Ia Supernovae
Abstract In order to probe a possible time variation of the fine-structure constant ( $$\alpha $$ α ), we propose a new method based on Strong Gravitational Lensing and Type Ia Supernovae observations. By considering a class of runaway dilaton models, where $$\frac{\Delta \alpha }{\alpha }= - \gamma...
