On the limits of Brans-Dicke spacetimes: a coordinate-free approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the limit of Brans-Dicke spacetimes as ω → ∞ applying a coordinate-free technique. We obtain the limits of some known exact solutions. It is shown that these limits may not correspond to similar solutions in the general relativity theory. pacs numbers: 04.20.Jb, 04.20.Cv, 04.50.+h

Scalar field as an intrinsic time measure in coupled dynamical matter - geometry systems . I . Neutral gravitational collapse
There does not exist a notion of time which could be transferred straightforwardly from classical to quantum gravity. For this reason, a method of time quantification which would be appropriate for gravity quantization is being sought. One of the existing proposals is using the evolving matter as an intrinsic 'clock' while investigating the dynamics of gravitational systems. The objective of ou...
متن کاملCylindrically symmetric spinning Brans-Dicke spacetimes with closed timelike curves
We present here three new solutions of Brans-Dicke theory for a stationary geometry with cylindrical symmetry in the presence of matter in rigid rotation with T μ 6= 0. All the solutions have eternal closed timelike curves in some region of spacetime the size of which depends on ω. Moreover, two of them do not go over a solution of general relativity in the limit ω → ∞. PACS number(s): 04.50+h,...
متن کاملAutoparallel Orbits in Kerr Brans-Dicke Spacetimes
The bounded orbital motion of a massive spinless test particle in the background of a Kerr Brans-Dicke geometry is analysed in terms of worldlines that are auto-parallels of different metric compatible spacetime connections. In one case the connection is that of Levi-Civita with zero-torsion. In the second case the connection has torsion determined by the gradient of the Brans-Dicke background ...
متن کاملOn limits of spacetimes – a coordinate-free approach
A coordinate-free approach to limits of spacetimes is developed. The limits of the Schwarzschild metric as the mass parameter tends to 0 or ∞ are studied, extending previous results. Besides the known Petrov type D and 0 limits, three vacuum plane-wave solutions of Petrov type N are found to be limits of the Schwarzschild spacetime. pacs numbers: 04.20.Jb, 04.20.Cv
