Cosmology in Scalar-Tensor Gravity - 139

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.
