Abstract

We present an approximate solution around a global monopole resulting from a breaking of a global SO(3) symmetry in a five-dimensional space-time based on Lyra’s geometry in normal gauge, i.e., displacement vector φi = (0, 0, 0, 0, β0), where β0 is a constant. Acceleration due to the monopole has been evaluated by studying the geodesic equation. A comparison is made with the classical results.

Keywords

breaking of a global SO(3) symmetry; global monopole; five-dimensional spacetime; Lyra’s geometry; geodesic equation
