Non-perturbative strong-field effects in tensor-scalar gravity

  • 1. Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), 13 - Marseille (France). Centre de Physique Theorique

Description

This text shows that a wide class of tensor-scalar theories of gravity can pass all present solar-system tests and still exhibit non-perturbative strong-field deviations away from general relativity in systems involving neutron stars. This is achieved without requiring either large dimensionless parameters, fine tuning or the presence of negative-energy modes. (author). 11 refs,. 3 figs
