The determination of the fine structure constant α and the search for its possible variation are considered. We focus on the role of the fine structure constant in modern physics and discuss precision tests of quantum electrodynamics.Different methods of a search for possible variations of fundamental constants are compared and those related to optical measurements are considered in detail.

TLDR
The relations between the constants, the tests of the local position invariance and of the universality of free fall are detailed, and the unification mechanisms and the relation between the variation of different constants are described.

We sketch the foundations of classical electrodynamics, in particular the transition that took place when Einstein, in 1915, succeeded to formulate general relativity. In 1916 Einstein demonstrated…
Recent developments in premetric
Classical electrodynamics can be based on the conservation laws of electric charge and magnetic flux. Both laws are independent of the metric and the linear connection of spacetime. Within the…

Some possibilities for laboratory searches for variations of fundamental constants
We consider different options for the search for possible variations of the fundamental constants. We give a brief overview of the results obtained with several methods. We discuss their advantages…
Direct test of the constancy of fundamental nuclear constants
THE possibility that fundamental nuclear constants may vary slowly while the Universe expands has been discussed by several authors1–5. I try here to show that the well known resonance properties of…
