Description: Cosmology in Scalar-Tensor Gravity by Valerio Faraoni Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Covers various aspects of cosmology in scalar-tensor theories of gravity. This book provides a critical overview of the research in this field and covers topics, such as: scalar-tensor gravity and its limit to general relativity; effective energy-momentum tensors and conformal frames; gravitational waves in scalar-tensor cosmology; and more. Publisher Description 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: An extensive bibliography guides the reader into more detailed literature on particular topics. Research on cosmology in scalar-tensor gravity is critically overviewed for the first time in this book. Scalar-tensor theories and their applications to modelling the early and the present universe are discussed. Features shared with string theories, exact cosmological solutions, cosmological perturbations, gravitational waves and conformal frames in scalar-tensor gravity are discussed. This book is of interest to researchers and postgraduate students working on cosmology, relativity, alternative theories of gravity, the phenomenology of string theories, theoretical physics and astrophysics. Author Biography Valerio Faraoni is currently a Professor in the Physics Department at Bishops University, Lennoxville, Quebec, Canada.
