چکیده
Cooling processes of brown dwarf stars and giant planets are studied in the framework degenerate higher-order scalar-tensor theories. We confirm previous results field that effect modified gravity on substellar objects' age is pronounced most.

Hyperextended scalar-tensor gravity.
We study a general Scalar-Tensor Theory with an arbitrary coupling funtion !( ) but also an arbitrary dependence of the gravitational constant G( ) in the cases in which either one of them, or both, do not admit an analytical inverse, as in the hyperextended in ationary scenario. We present the full set of eld equations and study their cosmological behavior. We show that different scalar-tensor...
متن کاملSingularities in scalar - tensor gravity
The analysis of certain singularities in scalar-tensor gravity contained in a recent paper is completed, and situations are pointed out in which these singularities cannot occur. Recently, Abramo et al. [1] have investigated certain geometric singularities occurring in the gravitational sector of scalar-tensor theories described by the action
متن کامل1/R gravity and Scalar-Tensor Gravity
We point out that extended gravity theories, the Lagrangian of which is an arbitrary function of scalar curvature R, are equivalent to a class of the scalar tensor theories of gravity. The corresponding gravity theory is ω = 0 BransDicke gravity with a potential for the Brans-Dicke scalar field, which is not compatible with solar system experiments if the field is very light: the case when such...
متن کاملScalar-Tensor Gravity and Quintessence
Scalar fields with inverse power-law effective potentials may provide a negative pressure component to the energy density of the universe today, as required by cosmological observations. In order to be cosmologically relevant today, the scalar field should have a mass mφ = O(10 −33eV), thus potentially inducing sizable violations of the equivalence principle and space-time variations of the cou...
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...
