Cylindrical sources in full Einstein and Brans-Dicke gravity

چکیده
It was shown by Hiscock that the energy-momentum tensor commonly used to model local cosmic strings in linearized Einstein gravity can be extended and used in the full theory, obtaining a metric in the exterior of the source with the same deficit angle. Here we show that this tensor is an exception within a family for which a static solution does not exist in full Einstein nor in Brans-Dicke gravity.

Pauli (or Einstein) frame is used to study the Brans-Dicke gravity theory, minimally coupled with dilatonic Brans-Dicke scalar field, whose solutions involve degenerate metrics. Some of these solutions exhibit transitions from an Euclidean domain to a Lorentzian space-time corresponding to a spatially flat Robertson-Walker cosmology.

متن کاملOn the Weak Field Approximation of Brans-Dicke Theory of Gravity
It is shown that in the weak field approximation solutions of Brans-Dicke equations are simply related to the solutions General Relativity equations for the same matter distribution. A simple method is developed which permits to obtain Brans-Dicke solutions from Einstein solutions when both theories are considered in their linearized forms. To illustrate the method some examples found in the li...
متن کاملScalar-Tensor Gravity in Two 3-brane System
We derive the effective four-dimensional gravity action in the RandallSundrum scenario in which two 3-branes of opposite tension reside in a fivedimensional spacetime. The dimensional reduction with the Ansatz for the radion field by Charmousis et al., which solves five-dimensional linearized field equations, results in a class of scalar-tensor gravity theories. In the limit of vanishing radion...
متن کاملConstraints on Inflation in Einstein-Brans-Dicke Frame
The density perturbation during inflation seeds the large scale structure. We consider both new inflation-type and chaotic inflation-type potentials in the framework of EinsteinBrans-Dicke gravity. The density perturbation gives strong constraints on the parameters in these potentials. For both potentials, the constraints are not much different from those obtained in the original inflationary m...
