See the paper http://arxiv.org/abs/1103.4937 by M. Villata. I find this paper extremely interesting and the arguments rather compelling. It is based upon two ideas for an argument for antimatter falling up. First However, the gravitational mass is not the gravitational charge; rather the gravitational charge is the Energy momentum 4-vectorsee D. Second, there is a kind of correspondence principleJ. Cross at http://arxiv.org/abs/1108.5117 for powerful rebuttal arguments, soasserting that Villata misapplied the CPT which holds exactly in Minkowski spacetheorem, holds approximatelyresulting in weakan incorrect sign for the matter-antimatter gravitational fields. The conclusion, that antimatter will fall up, follows.

I would appreciate comments by others who are more knowledgeable, howeverinteraction.

Added the next day: SeeSee http://lss.fnal.gov/archive/test-fn/0000/fermilab-fn-0822-cd-t.pdf for a general review of the previously existing experimental evidence from Etvos and other experiments such as accelerometers, Kaons, astrophysical neutrino's from SN1987A.

Second, there is a kind of correspondence principle, so that CPT which holds exactly in Minkowski space, holds approximately in weak gravitational fields. The conclusion, that antimatter will fall up, follows.
