Effective Gravitational “Constant” in Scalar-(Curvature)Tensor and Scalar-Torsion Gravities
In theories where a scalar field couples nonminimally to gravity, the effective gravitational “constant” becomes dependent on the value of the scalar field. This note first gives a brief review on how the cosmological evolution provides a dynamical stabilization for the gravitational “constant” as the system relaxes towards general relativity in matter dominated and potential dominated regimes ...
متن کاملConformal Properties of Charges in Scalar-Tensor Gravities
Gravitational models involving massless scalars and (possibly) a cosmological constant can cause complications in applying otherwise well-understood energy and other definitions of physical quantities. In part, this is due to the scalars’ slow allowed asymptotic falloff, generically as slow as that of the metric, 1/r, along with the possibility of scalar-tensor field redefinitions, gμν → gμνf(φ...
متن کاملCurrent-Carrying Cosmic Strings in Scalar-Tensor Gravities
We study the modifications on the metric of an isolated self-gravitating bosonic superconducting cosmic string in a scalar-tensor gravity in the weak-field approximation. These modifications are induced by an arbitrary coupling of a massless scalar field to the usual tensorial field [email protected] [email protected] Also at Grupo de F́ısica Teórica, Universidade Católica de Petrópolis. hela...
متن کاملGravitational Stabilization of Scalar Potentials *
Using the formalism of Boucher we derive the conditions under which gravity can stabilize otherwise metastable or unstable scalar field configurations. For the case of a double-welled potential we rederive the stability criteria first obtained by Coleman and DeLuccia. Our derivation does not require the assumption of 0(4) symmetry or the thin-walled approximation used in their work. We also giv...
متن کاملHypersurfaces with Constant Scalar Curvature
Let M be a complete two-dimensional surface immersed into the three-dimensional Euclidean space. Then a classical theorem of Hilbert says that when the curvature of M is a non-zero constant, M must be the sphere. On the other hand, when the curvature of M is zero, a theorem of Har tman-Nirenberg [4] says that M must be a plane or a cylinder. These two theorems complete the classification of com...
