Cosmology in Scalar-Tensor Gravity de Valerio Faraoni

Cosmology in Scalar-Tensor Gravity: Fundamental Theories of Physics, cartea 139

Autor Valerio Faraoni
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 mar 2012
Cosmology in Scalar-Tensor Gravity covers all aspects of cosmology in scalar-tensor theories of gravity. Considerable progress has been made in this exciting area of physics and this book is the first to provide a critical overview of the research. Among the topics treated are:
-Scalar-tensor gravity and its limit to general relativity,
-Effective energy-momentum tensors and conformal frames,
-Gravitational waves in scalar-tensor cosmology,
-Specific scalar-tensor theories,
-Exact cosmological solutions and cosmological perturbations,
-Scalar-tensor scenarios of the early universe and inflation,
-Scalar-tensor models of quintessence in the present universe and their far-reaching consequences for the ultimate fate of the cosmos.

Recenzii

From the reviews:
"The book is devoted to some class of gravitational theories which are alternatives to Einstein’s general relativity. … The book is fairly complete on its themes. The list of references has 925 entries; many citations are of the years 2000-2003. The book is both, a useful survey and a contribution to current discussions." (Rainer Schimming, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1057 (8), 2005)
"The main topic of this book is to give an overview about such generalized scalar-tensor theories which represent gravitation … . The list of 925 references presents a well-balanced source for research in this field. … Finally, let me say, that the present book … is recommended to research libraries … ." (Hans Jürgen Schmidt, General Relativity and Gravitation, Vol. 37 (8), 2005)
