The nearly Newtonian regime in Non-Linear Theories of Gravity
The present paper reconsiders the Newtonian limit of models of modified gravity including higher order terms in the scalar curvature in the gravitational action. This was studied using the Palatini variational principle in [Meng X and Wang P 2004 Gen. Rel. Grav. 36 1947] and [Domínguez A E and Barraco D E 2004 Phys. Rev. D 70 043505] with contradicting results. Here a different approach is used...
متن کاملTheories of Newtonian gravity and empirical indistinguishability
In this essay, I examine the curved spacetime formulation of Newtonian gravity known as Newton–Cartan gravity and compare it with flat spacetime formulations. Two versions of Newton–Cartan gravity can be identified in the physics literature—a ‘‘weak’’ version and a ‘‘strong’’ version. The strong version has a constrained Hamiltonian formulation and consequently a well-defined gauge structure, w...
متن کاملThe Newtonian limit of metric gravity theories with quadratic Lagrangians
The Newtonian limit of fourth-order gravity is worked out discussing its viability with respect to the standard results of General Relativity. We investigate the limit in the metric approach which, with respect to the Palatini formulation, has been much less studied in the recent literature, due to the higherorder of the field equations. In addition, we refrain from exploiting the formal equiva...
متن کاملPost-Newtonian Parameters from Alternative Theories of Gravity
Alternative theories of gravity have been recently studied in connection with their cosmological applications, both in the Palatini and in the metric formalism. The aim of this paper is to propose a theoretical framework (in the Palatini formalism) to test these theories at the solar system level and possibly at the galactic scales. We exactly solve field equations in vacuum and find the corres...
متن کاملQuantum nondemolition measurements and non–Newtonian gravity
In the present work the detection, by means of a nondemolition measurement, of a Yukawa term, coexisting simultaneously with gravity, has been considered. In other words, a nondemolition variable for the case of a particle immersed in a gravitational field containing a Yukawa term is obtained. Afterwards the continuous monitoring of this nondemolition parameter is analyzed, the corresponding pr...
