Post-post-newtonian limit of a dilatonic gravity model

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We study a solution of the field equations for dilatonic gravity and obtain its post-post-newtonian limit. It turns out that terms to this and higher orders in the expansion may become important in strong gravitational fields, even though the post-newtonian limit coincides with that of General Relativity. This suggests that strong gravitational fields can only be studied by exact solutions of the field equations.
