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 کاملQuintessentially Flat Scalar Potentials
Both inflationary and quintessence cosmologies require scalar fields which roll very slowly over cosmological time scales, and so typically demand extremely flat potentials. Sufficiently flat potentials are notoriously difficult to obtain from realistic theories of microscopic physics, and this poses a naturalness problem for both types of cosmologies. We propose a brane-world-based microscopic...
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 کاملHelical Solutions in Scalar Gravity
We construct solutions, for small values of G and angular frequency Ω, of special relativistic scalar gravity coupled to ideally elastic matter which have helical but no stationary or axial symmetry. They correspond to a body without any symmetries in steady rotation around one of its axes of inertia, or two bodies moving on a circle around their center of gravity. Our construction is rigorous,...
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...
