The Scalar-Tensor Theory of Gravitation (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics) by Yasunori Fujii (PDF)

Description

The scalar-tensor theory of gravitation is one of the most popular alternatives to Einstein’s theory of gravitation. This book provides a clear and concise introduction to the theoretical ideas and developments, exploring scalar fields and placing them in context with a discussion of Brans-Dicke theory. Topics covered include the cosmological constant problem, time variability of coupling constants, higher dimensional space-time, branes and conformal transformations. The authors emphasize the physical applications of the scalar-tensor theory and thus provide a pedagogical overview of the subject, keeping more mathematically detailed sections for the appendices. This book is suitable for graduate courses in cosmology, gravitation and relativity. It will also provide a valuable reference for researchers.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐There are many approaches to gravity in physics. I enjoyed reading how equations were fine tuned to solve problems in physics, designers to match phenomenon of gravity in astrophysics, and discovering new properties of gravity in the process.
