Publisher Comments:

"Cosmology in Scalar-Tensor Gravity" covers all aspects ofcosmology in scalar-tensor theories of gravity. Considerable progresshas been made in this exciting area of physics and this book is thefirst to provide a critical overview of the research. Among the topicstreated are: An extensive bibliography guides the reader into more detailedliterature on particular topics.Research on cosmology in scalar-tensor gravity is criticallyoverviewed for the first time in this book. Scalar-tensor theories andtheir applications to modelling the early and the present universe arediscussed. Features shared with string theories, exact cosmologicalsolutions, cosmological perturbations, gravitational waves andconformal frames in scalar-tensor gravity are discussed.This book is of interest to researchers and postgraduate studentsworking on cosmology, relativity, alternative theories of gravity, thephenomenology of string theories, theoretical physics andastrophysics.

Synopsis:

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.
