Energy in Generic Higher Curvature Gravity Theories
We define and compute the energy of higher curvature gravity theories in arbitrary dimensions. Generically, these theories admit constant curvature vacua (even in the absence of an explicit cosmological constant), and asymptotically constant curvature solutions with non-trivial energy properties. For concreteness, we study quadratic curvature models in detail. Among them, the one whose action i...
متن کاملHyperextended scalar-tensor gravity.
We study a general Scalar-Tensor Theory with an arbitrary coupling funtion !( ) but also an arbitrary dependence of the gravitational constant G( ) in the cases in which either one of them, or both, do not admit an analytical inverse, as in the hyperextended in ationary scenario. We present the full set of eld equations and study their cosmological behavior. We show that different scalar-tensor...
متن کاملNegative energy and stability in scalar-tensor gravity
Linearized gravitational waves in Brans-Dicke and scalar-tensor theories carry negative energy. A gauge-invariant analysis shows that the background Minkowski space is stable at the classical level with respect to linear scalar and tensor inhomogeneous perturbations. PACS: 04.20.Cv, 04.30.-w
متن کاملSingularities in scalar - tensor gravity
The analysis of certain singularities in scalar-tensor gravity contained in a recent paper is completed, and situations are pointed out in which these singularities cannot occur. Recently, Abramo et al. [1] have investigated certain geometric singularities occurring in the gravitational sector of scalar-tensor theories described by the action
متن کاملNonholonomic Mapping Principle for Classical Mechanics in Spactimes with Curvature and Torsion . New Covariant Conservation Law for Energy - Momentum Tensor ∗
The lecture explains the geometric basis for the recently-discovered nonholonomic mapping principle which specifies certain laws of nature in spacetimes with curvature and torsion from those in flat spacetime, thus replacing and extending Einstein's equivalence principle. An important consequence is a new action principle for determining the equation of motion of a free spinless point particle ...
