Singularities in scalar - tensor gravity
نویسنده
چکیده
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

Conformal quantum effects and the anisotropic singularities of scalar-tensor theories of gravity
We show that the inclusion of a term CabcdC abcd in the action can remove the recently described anisotropic singularity occurring on the hypersurface F (φ) = 0 of scalar-tensor theories of gravity of the type
متن کاملOn Newtonian singularities in higher derivative gravity models
We consider the problem of Newtonian singularity in the wide class of higher derivative gravity models, including the ones which are renormalizable and superrenormalizable at the quantum level. The simplest version of the singularity-free theory has four derivatives and is pretty well-known. We argue that in all cases of local higherderivative theories, when the poles of the propagator are real...

متن کاملSelection criteria for two-parameter solutions to scalar-tensor gravity
We investigate the generic properties of static, spherically symmetric, asymptotically flat solutions to the field equations describing gravity minimally coupled to a nonlinear self-gravitating real scalar field. Five corollaries and a theorem on selection criteria for twoand one-parametric solutions are proven and conditions for obtaining particle-like solutions, black holes or naked singulari...
متن کاملScalar - tensor gravity in an accelerating universe
We consider scalar-tensor theories of gravity in an accelerating universe. The equations for the background evolution and the perturbations are given in full generality for any parametrization of the Lagrangian, and we stress that apparent singularities are sometimes artifacts of a pathological choice of variables. Adopting a phenomenological viewpoint, i.e., from the observations back to the t...
