Synopsis "cosmology in scalar-tensor gravity"

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.
