چکیده

Solutions to the field equations generated from Lagrangians of the form f(R) are considered. The spherically symmetric solutions to these equations are discussed, paying particular attention to features that differ from the standard Schwarzschild solution. The asymptotic form of solutions will be described, as will the lack of validity of Birkhoff’s theorem. Exact solutions are presented which illustrate these points and the stability and equations of motion of particles in these space-times are investigated.

Spherically Symmetric Solutions in a New Braneworld Massive Gravity Theory

In this paper, a combination of the braneworld scenario and covariant de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) massive Gravity theory is proposed. In this setup, the five-dimensional bulk graviton is considered to be massive. The five dimensional nonlinear ghost-free massive gravity theory affects the 3-brane dynamics and the gravitational potential on the brane. Following the solutions with spherical s...

Stability of spherically symmetric solutions in modified theories of gravity

In recent years, a number of alternative theories of gravity have been proposed as possible resolutions of certain cosmological problems or as toy models for possible but heretofore unobserved effects. However, the implications of such theories for the stability structures such as stars have not been fully investigated. We use our “generalized variational principle”, described in a previous wor...

Spherically symmetric solutions in f(R) gravity via Noether Symmetry Approach

We search for spherically symmetric solutions of f(R) theories of gravity via the Noether Symmetry Approach. A general formalism in the metric framework is developed considering a point-like f(R) Lagrangian where spherical symmetry is required. Examples of exact solutions are given. PACS numbers: 98.80.-k, 95.35.+x, 95.35.+d, 04.50.+h

Spherically symmetric solutions of Einstein + non-polynomial gravities

We obtain the static spherically symmetric solutions of a class of gravitational models whose additions to the General Relativity (GR) action forbid Ricci-flat, in particular, Schwarzschild geometries. These theories are selected to maintain the (first) derivative order of the Einstein equations in Schwarzschild gauge. Generically, the solutions exhibit both horizons and a singularity at the or...

The Riemann-Lovelock Curvature Tensor

In order to study the properties of Lovelock gravity theories in low dimensions, we define the kth-order Riemann-Lovelock tensor as a certain quantity having a total 4k-indices, which is kth order in the Riemann curvature tensor and shares its basic algebraic and differential properties. We show that the kth order Riemann-Lovelock tensor is determined by its traces in dimensions 2k ≤ D < 4k. In...
