Exact gravitational shock wave solution of higher order theories.
We find an exact pp–gravitational wave solution of the fourth order gravity field equations. Outside the (delta–like) source this not a vacuum solution of General Relativity. It represents the contribution of the massive, m = (−β)−1/2, spin–two field associated to the Ricci squared term in the gravitational Lagrangian. The fourth order terms tend to make milder the singularity of the curvature ...
متن کاملGauge freedom for Gravitational Wave problems in tensor-scalar theories of gravity
A specific choice of gauge is shown to imply a decoupling between the tensor and scalar components of Gravitational Radiation in the context of Brans-Dicke type theories of gravitation. The comparison of the predictions of these theories with those of General Relativity is thereby made straightforward.
متن کاملConstraints from inflation on scalar-tensor gravity theories.
We show how observations of the perturbation spectra produced during inflation may be used to constrain the parameters of general scalar-tensor theories of gravity, which include both an inflaton and dilaton field. An interesting feature of these models is the possibility that the curvature perturbations on super-horizon scales may not be constant due to non-adiabatic perturbations of the two f...
متن کاملConstraints from Innation on Scalar{tensor Gravity Theories
We show how observations of the perturbation spectra produced during innation may be used to constrain the parameters of general scalar-tensor theories of gravity, which include both an innaton and dilaton eld. An interesting feature of these models is the possibility that the curvature perturbations on super-horizon scales may not be constant due to non-adiabatic perturbations of the two elds....
متن کاملHamiltonian analysis of higher derivative scalar-tensor theories
We perform a Hamiltonian analysis of a large class of scalar-tensor Lagrangians which depend quadratically on the second derivatives of a scalar field. By resorting to a convenient choice of dynamical variables, we show that the Hamiltonian can be written in a very simple form, where the Hamiltonian and the momentum constraints are easily identified. In the case of degenerate Lagrangians, which...
