چکیده
We develop a new model of a spinning particle in Brans-Dicke space-time using a metric-compatible connection with torsion. The particle's spin vector is shown to be Fermi-parallel (by the Levi-Civita connection) along its worldline (an autoparallel of the metric-compatible connection) when neglecting spin-curvature coupling.

On his way to General Relativity (GR) Einstein gave several arguments as to why a special relativistic theory of gravity based on a massless scalar field could be ruled out merely on grounds of theoretical considerations. We re-investigate his two main arguments, which relate to energy conservation and some form of the principle of the universality of free fall. We find that such a theory-based...

We show that time-reflection symmetric, asymptotically flat, static vacuum data which admit a non-trivial conformal rescaling which leads again to such data must be axi-symmetric and admit a conformal Killing field. Moreover, it is shown that there exists a 3-parameter family of such data. PACS: 04.20.Ex, 04.20.Ha, 04.20.Jb

We explore a new horizon of modified gravity from the viewpoint of the particle physics. As a concrete example, we take the F (R) gravity to raise a question: can a scalar particle (“scalaron”) derived from the F (R) gravity be a dark matter candidate? We place the limit on the form of function F (R) from the constraint on the scalaron as a dark matter. The role of the screening mechanism and c...
