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; and, scalar-tensor models of quintessence in the present universe and their far-reaching consequences for the ultimate fate of the cosmos.
