65 Years in and Around Relativity

Brans, Carl H.

Pages: 1 –37

[At the very beginning I must thank all of the contributors to this book for taking their valuable time to add to it.]

Nonminimal Couplings in the Early Universe: Multifield Models of Inflation and the Latest Observations

Kaiser, David I.

Pages: 41 –57

[Models of cosmic inflation suggest that our universe underwent an early phase of accelerated expansion, driven by the dynamics of one or more scalar fields. Inflationary models make specific, quantitative predictions for several observable quantities, including particular patterns of temperature...

A New Estimate of the Mass of the Gravitational Scalar Field for Dark Energy

Fujii, Yasunori

Pages: 59 –75

[A new estimate of the mass of the pseudo dilaton is offered by following the fundamental nature that a massless Nambu-Goldstone boson, called a dilaton, in the Einstein frame acquires a nonzero mass through the loop effects which occur with the Higgs field in the relativistic quantum field...

Axion and Dilaton + Metric Emerge Jointly from an Electromagnetic Model Universe with Local and Linear Response Behavior

Hehl, Friedrich W.

Pages: 77 –96

[We take a quick look at the different possible universally coupled scalar fields in nature. Then, we discuss how the gauging of the group of scale transformations (dilations), together with the Poincaré group, leads to a Weyl-Cartan spacetime structure. There the dilaton field finds a natural...

Gravitational Theories with Stable (anti-)de Sitter Backgrounds

Biswas, Tirthabir; Koshelev, Alexey S.; Mazumdar, Anupam

Pages: 97 –114

[In this article we will construct the most general torsion-free parity-invariant covariant theory of gravity that is free from ghost-like and tachyonic instabilities around constant curvature space-times in four dimensions. Specifically, this includes the Minkowski, de Sitter and anti-de Sitter...
Available

Rotating Boson Stars

Mielke, Eckehard W.

Pages: 115 –131

[Recently, experimental evidence has been accumulated that fundamental scalar fields, like the Higgs boson, exist in Nature. The gravitational collapse of such a boson cloud would lead to a boson star (BS) as a new type of a compact object. Similarly as for white dwarfs and neutron stars (NSs),...

The Lambda-CDM Model Is Not an Universal Attractor of the Brans–Dicke Cosmology

Quiros, Israel

Pages: 133 –157

[By means of the tools of the dynamical systems theory it is shown that the general relativity de Sitter solution is an attractor of the Jordan frame (dilatonic) Brans–Dicke theory only for the exponential potential U(φ)∝expφ\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath}...
Available

New Setting for Spontaneous Gauge Symmetry Breaking?

Jackiw, Roman; Pi, So-Young

Pages: 159 –162

[Over half century ago Carl Brans participated in the construction of a viable deformation of the Einstein gravity theory. The suggestion involves expanding the tensor-based theory by a scalar field. But experimental support has not materialized. Nevertheless the model continues to generate...
Available

The Brans-Dicke Theory and Its Experimental Tests

McHugh, Martin P.

Pages: 163 –174

[Carl Brans submitted his doctoral dissertation to the Princeton committee in May of 1961. By November, the Brans-Dicke theory was disseminated widely with the publication of a 10-page paper in Physical Review. An extension of Einstein’s general relativity, it generated great interest and was the...

Mach’s Principle and the Origin of Inertia

Mashhoon, Bahram

Pages: 177 –187

[The current status of Mach’s principle is discussed within the context of general relativity. The inertial properties of a particle are determined by its mass and spin, since these characterize the irreducible unitary representations of the inhomogeneous Lorentz group. The origin of the inertia...
