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 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 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 کاملTensor-scalar gravity and binary-pulsar experiments.
Some recently discovered nonperturbative strong-field effects in tensor–scalar theories of gravitation are interpreted as a scalar analog of ferromagnetism: “spontaneous scalarization”. This phenomenon leads to very significant deviations from general relativity in conditions involving strong gravitational fields, notably binary-pulsar experiments. Contrary to solar-system experiments, these de...
