Weak Field Approach in f(R)-Gravity

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2010-10-04 v1

Abstract

In this communication we discuss the Weak Field Approach, and in particular the Newtonian limit, applied to f(R)-Gravity. Particular emphasis is placed on the spherically symmetric solutions and finally, it is clearly shown that General Relativity results, in the Solar System context, are easily recovered since Einstein theory is a particular case of f(R)f(R)-Gravity. This is a crucial point against several wrong results in literature stating that these theories are not viable at local scales.
