On Junction Conditions in Gravity Theories with Higher Curvature Terms
We discuss the junction conditions in the context of the Randall-Sundrum model with the Gauss-Bonnet interaction. We consider the Z2 symmetric model where the brane is embedded in an AdS5 bulk, as well as a model without Z2 symmetry in which the brane (in this case called by tradition “shell”) separates two metrically different AdS5 regions. We show that the Israel junction conditions across th...
متن کاملscalar-tensor theories for traceless matter field
ω(φ) → ∞ limit of scalar tensor theories are studied for traceless matter source. It is shown that the limit ω(φ) → ∞ does not reduce a scalar tensor theory to GR. An exact radiation solution of scalar tensor cosmology under modified Nordtvedt conditions is obtained for flat Friedmann universe. PACS numbers: 04.50. +h
متن کاملScalar Tensor Theories and Hadamard State Condition
The Hadamard state condition is used to analyze the local constraints on the two-point function of a quantum field conformally coupled to a background geometry. Using these constraints we develop a scalar tensor theory which controls the coupling of the stresstensor induced by the two-point function of the quantum field to the conformal class of the background metric. It is then argued that the...
متن کاملAccelerating Universe and Scalar-Tensor Theories
Observational probes of dark energy converge on the fact that its equation of state w is close to −1. Some of these probes (for example the Gold SnIa sample) mildly support the possibility that w is time dependent and crosses the phantom divide line w = −1. Such a crossing is inconsistent with dark energy in the form of a single minimally coupled scalar field for any form of the field Lagrangia...
متن کاملScintillation in scalar-tensor theories of gravity
We study the scintillation produced by time-varying gravitational fields within scalar-tensor theories of gravity. The problem is treated in the geometrical optics approximation for a very distant light source emitting quasi plane monochromatic electromagnetic waves. We obtain a general formula giving the time dependence of the photon flux received by a freely falling observer. In the weak-fiel...
