Releasing scalar fields: cosmological simulations of scalar-tensor theories for gravity beyond the static approximation.
Several extensions of general relativity and high energy physics include scalar fields as extra degrees of freedom. In the search for predictions in the nonlinear regime of cosmological evolution, the community makes use of numerical simulations in which the quasistatic limit is assumed when solving the equation of motion of the scalar field. In this Letter, we propose a method to solve the ful...
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...
متن کاملStatic black holes in scalar tensor gravity
We study static black hole solutions in scalar tensor gravity. We present exact solutions in hiperextended models with a quadratic scalar potential. On leave from: Departamento de F́ısica da Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade do Porto, Rua do Campo Alegre 687, 4169-007 Porto, Portugal
متن کاملOn the Asymptotic Behaviour of Cosmological Models in Scalar-Tensor Theories of Gravity
We study the qualitative properties of cosmological models in scalartensor theories of gravity by exploiting the formal equivalence of these theories with general relativity minimally coupled to a scalar field under a conformal transformation and field redefinition. In particular, we investigate the asymptotic behaviour of spatially homogeneous cosmological models in a class of scalar-tensor th...
متن کاملThe dynamical viability of scalar-tensor gravity theories
We establish the dynamical attractor behavior in scalar-tensor theories of dark energy, providing a powerful framework to analyze classes of theories, predicting common evolutionary characteristics that can be compared against cosmological constraints. In the Jordan frame the theories are viewed as a coupling between a scalar field, Φ, and the Ricci scalar, R, F (Φ)R. The Jordan frame evolution...
