摘要
A new method based on large scale structure observations is proposed to probe a possible temporal variation of the fine-structure constant (alpha). Our analyses are based on time-delay of Strong Gravitational Lensing and Type Ia Supernovae observations. By considering the runaway dilaton scenario, where the cosmological temporal evolution of the fine-structure constant is given by <mml:mfrac>Delta alpha alpha</mml:mfrac>approximate to-gamma ln(1+z), we obtain limits on the physical properties parameter of the model (gamma) at the level 10-2 (1 sigma). Although our limits are less restrictive than those obtained by quasar spectroscopy, the approach presented here provides new bounds on the possibility of <mml:mfrac>Delta alpha alpha</mml:mfrac>not equal 0 at a different range of redshifts.
