D ec 1 99 6 Some aspects of the cosmological conformal equivalence between “ Jordan Frame ” and “ Einstein Frame ”

چکیده
The conformal equivalence between Jordan frame and Einstein frame can be used in order to search for exact solutions in general theories of gravity in which scalar fields are minimally or nonminimally coupled with geometry. In the cosmo-logical arena a relevant role is played by the time parameter in which dynamics is described. In this paper we discuss such issues considering also if cosmological Noether symmetries in the " point–like " Lagrangian are conformally preserved. Through this analysis and through also a careful analysis of the cosmological parameters Ω and Λ, it is possible to contribute to the discussion on which is the physical system.

متن کامل1 2 D ec 2 00 7 Conformal transformation in the scalar - tensor theory applied to the accelerating universe
The scalar-tensor theory is plagued by nagging questions if different conformal frames, in particular the Jordan and Einstein conformal frames, are equivalent to each other. As a closely related question, there are opposing views on which of the two conformal frames is physically acceptable. Reinforcing our previous claims, we offer replies based on a cosmological model of the scalar-tensor the...
متن کاملConformal aspects of Palatini approach in Extended Theories of Gravity
Abstract The debate on the physical relevance of conformal transformations can be faced by taking the Palatini approach into account to gravitational theories. We show that conformal transformations are not only a mathematical tool to disentangle gravitational and matter degrees of freedom (passing from the Jordan frame to the Einstein frame) but they acquire a physical meaning considering the ...

Scalar–tensor theories of gravity can be formulated in the Jordan or in the Einstein frame, which are conformally related. The issue of which conformal frame is physical is a contentious one; we provide a straightforward example based on gravitational waves in order to clarify the issue. Published in Int. J. Theor. Phys. 38, 217.
متن کاملEquivalent frames in Brans-Dicke theory
We discuss the physical equivalence between the Einstein and Jordan frames in Brans-Dicke theory. The inequivalence of conformal transformed theories is clarified with the help of an old equivalence theorem of Chrisholm’s. 04.20. Fy, 04.50. +h Typeset using REVTEX 1 Brans-Dicke theory is a natural generalization of Einstein theory. In Brans-Dicke theory, the effective gravitational constantGeff...
