Theory Of Gravity

We investigate the weak-field limit of scalar-tensor theory of gravity and show that results are directly depending on the coupling and self-interaction potential of the scalar field. In particular, corrections are derived for the Newtonian potential. We discuss astrophysical applications of the results, in particular the flat rotation curves of spiral galaxies.

The variational field equations of Brans–Dicke scalar-tensor theory of gravitation are given in a non-Riemannian setting in the language of exterior differential forms over four-dimensional spacetimes. A conformally rescaled Robinson–Trautman metric together with the Brans–Dicke scalar field are used to characterize algebraically special Robinson–Trautman spacetimes. All the relevant tensors are worked out in a complex null basis and given explicitly in an appendix for future reference. Some special families of solutions are also given and discussed.

The Universe

Six exact solutions are obtained in the general scalar-tensor theory of gravity related to spatially homogeneous wave-like models of the Universe. Wave-like spacetime models allow the existence of privileged coordinate systems where the eikonal equation and the Hamilton–Jacobi equation of test particles can be integrated by the method of complete separation of variables with the separation of isotropic (wave) variables on which the space metric depends (non-ignored variables). An explicit form of the scalar field and two functions of the scalar field that are part of the general scalar-tensor theory of gravity are found. The explicit form of the eikonal function and the action function for test particles in the considered models is given. The obtained solutions are of type III according to the Bianchi classification and type N according to the Petrov classification. Wave-like spatially homogeneous spacetime models can describe primordial gravitational waves of the Universe.

Hilbert Action

A solution of the cosomlogical constant problem seems to come from a version of the scalar-tensor theory of gravity, which is characterized by a “nonminimal coupling“ in place of the standard Einstein-Hilbert action, where ɸ is the scalar field while ξ a constant. One then encounters an inherent question never fully answered: How can one single out a right conformai frame?

AbstractWe study the motion of particles in the background of a scalar–tensor theory of gravity in which the scalar field is kinetically coupled to the Einstein tensor. We constrain the value of the derivative parameter z through solar system tests. By considering the perihelion precession we obtain the constraint $$\sqrt{z}/m_{\mathrm{p}} > 2.6\times 10^{12}$$ z / m p > 2.6 × 10 12  m, the gravitational redshift $$\frac{\sqrt{z}}{m_{\mathrm{p}}}>2.7\times 10^{\,10}$$ z m p > 2.7 × 10 10  m, the deflection of light $$\sqrt{z}/m_{\mathrm{p}} > 1.6 \times 10^{11}$$ z / m p > 1.6 × 10 11  m, and the gravitational time delay $$\sqrt{z}/m_{\mathrm{p}} > 7.9 \times 10^{12}$$ z / m p > 7.9 × 10 12  m; thereby, our results show that it is possible to constrain the value of the z parameter in agreement with the observational tests that have been considered.

Models of static spherically-symmetric stellar configurations are discussed within the framework of the Bimetric scalar-tensor theory of gravity. The latter, in addition to the metric tensor and the scalar field, contains a background metric tensor as an absolute variable of the theory. The simplest variant of the theory with a constant coupling parameter and with a zero cosmological function is considered. The analysis includes both the white dwarfs and neutron stars. It is shown that, depending on the value of the theory parameter, the corresponding masses can be notably larger than those in general relativity.

Theory Of Gravity

It has been shown earlier that Noether symmetry does not admit a form of corresponding to an action in which is coupled to scalar-tensor theory of gravity or even for pure theory of gravity taking anisotropic model into account. Here, we prove that theory of gravity does not admit Noether symmetry even if it is coupled to tachyonic field and considering a gauge in addition. To handle such a theory, a general conserved current has been constructed under a condition which decouples higher-order curvature part from the field part. This condition, in principle, solves for the scale-factor independently. Thus, cosmological evolution remains independent of the form of the chosen field, whether it is a scalar or a tachyon.
