Scalar-tensor gravity and conformal continuations
Global properties of vacuum static, spherically symmetric configurations are studied in a general class of scalartensor theories (STT) of gravity in various dimensions. The conformal mapping between the Jordan and Einstein frames is used as a tool. Necessary and sufficient conditions are found for the existence of solutions admitting a conformal continuation (CC). The latter means that a singul...
متن کاملSpherical Structures in Conformal Gravity and its Scalar-Tensor Extension
We study spherically-symmetric structures in Conformal Gravity and in a scalar-tensor extension and gain some more insight about these gravitational theories. In both cases we analyze solutions in two systems: perfect fluid solutions and boson stars of a self-interacting complex scalar field. In the purely tensorial (original) theory we find in a certain domain of parameter space finite mass so...
متن کاملConformal Continuations and Wormhole Instability in Scalar-tensor Gravity
We study the stability of static, spherically symmetric, traversable wormholes existing due to conformal continuations in a class of scalar-tensor theories with zero scalar field potential (so that Fisher’s well-known scalar-vacuum solution holds in the Einstein conformal frame). Specific examples of such wormholes are those with nonminimally (e.g., conformally) coupled scalar fields. All bound...
متن کاملWeak lensing in scalar-tensor theories of gravity
This article investigates the signatures of various models of dark energy on weak gravitational lensing, including the complementarity of the linear and non-linear regimes. It investigates quintessence models and their extension to scalar-tensor gravity. The various effects induced by this simplest extension of general relativity are discussed. It is shown that, given the constraints in the Sol...
متن کاملConformal Transformations of S-Matrix in Scalar Field Theory
Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Leipzig, Augustusplatz 10/11, D 04109 Leipzig, Germany Abstract In this paper, three methods for describing the conformal transformations of the S-matrix in quantum field theory are proposed. They are illustrated by applying the algebraic renormalization procedure to the quantum scalar field theory, defined by the LSZ reduction mechanism in the BPHZ...
