Scintillation in scalar-tensor theories of gravity
We study the scintillation produced by time-varying gravitational fields within scalar-tensor theories of gravity. The problem is treated in the geometrical optics approximation for a very distant light source emitting quasi plane monochromatic electromagnetic waves. We obtain a general formula giving the time dependence of the photon flux received by a freely falling observer. In the weak-fiel...
متن کاملQualitative Properties of Scalar-Tensor Theories of Gravity
The qualitative properties of spatially homogeneous stiff perfect fluid and minimally coupled massless scalar field models within general relativity are discussed. Consequently, by exploiting the formal equivalence under conformal transformations and field redefinitions of certain classes of theories of gravity, the asymptotic properties of spatially homogeneous models in a class of scalar-tens...
متن کاملWeak lensing in scalar-tensor theories of gravity
This article investigates the signatures of various models of dark energy on weak gravitational lensing, including the complementarity of the linear and non-linear regimes. It investigates quintessence models and their extension to scalar-tensor gravity. The various effects induced by this simplest extension of general relativity are discussed. It is shown that, given the constraints in the Sol...
متن کاملScalar-tensor Theories of Gravity: Some personal history
From a perspective of some 50 years or more, this paper reviews my recall of the early days of scalar-tensor alternatives to standard Einstein general relativistic theory of gravity. Of course, the story begins long before my involvement, going back to the proposals of Nordström in 1914, and that of Kaluza, Klein, et al., a few years later, so I include reviews of these seminal ideas and those ...
متن کاملMultiple field scalar-tensor theories of gravity and cosmology.
We consider multiple scalar elds coupled to gravity, with special attention given to twoeld theories. First, the conditions necessary for these theories to meet solar system tests are given. Next, we investigate the cosmological evolution of the elds to see if these conditions can be met. Solutions are found in the dust era, as well as radiation and cosmological constant dominated epochs. The p...
