Title Cosmology in Scalar-Tensor Gravity Author(s) Faraoni, Valerio Publication Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 2004. Description XIII, 274 p. 1 illus : online resource Abstract Note 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 ISBN,Price 9781402019890 Keyword(s) 1.
