Scintillation 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...
متن کاملCold Black Holes in Scalar-tensor Theories
We study the possible existence of black holes in scalar-tensor theories of gravity in four dimensions. Their existence is verified for anomalous versions of these theories, with a negative kinetic term in the Lagrangian. The Hawking temperature TH of these holes is zero, while the horizon area is (in most cases) infinite. It is shown that an infinite value of TH can occur only at a curvature s...
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 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 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...
