The Cauchy problem of f(R) gravity
- 1. Physics Department, Bishop's University, Sherbrooke, Quebec, J1M 0C8 (Canada)
Description
The initial value problem of metric and Palatini f(R) gravity is studied by using the dynamical equivalence between these theories and Brans-Dicke gravity. The Cauchy problem is well formulated for metric f(R) gravity in the presence of matter and well posed in vacuo. For Palatini f(R) gravity, instead, the Cauchy problem is not well formulated
