We derive the low-energy effective action of four-dimensional gravity in the Randall-Sundrum scenario in which two 3-branes of opposite tension reside in a five-dimensional spacetime. The dimensional reduction with the Ansatz for the radion…

We report strong cosmological constraints on the Brans-Dicke (BD) theory of gravity using Cosmic Microwave Background data from Planck.We consider two types of models. First, the initial condition of the scalar field is fixed to give the…
Bosons of spin 0 and 1, with different intrinsic parities, are described by full sets of spinor equations in the frame of the Dirac-Kahler theory. This enables us to obtain the conservation laws for the boson particles with one value of…
The Abraham--Minkowski momentum controversy is the outwardly visible symptom of an inconsistency in the use of the energy-momentum tensor in the case of a plane quasimonochromatic field in a simple linear dielectric. We show that the Gordon…
The Minkowski tensors are valuations on the space of convex bodies in ${\mathbb R}^n$ with values in a space of symmetric tensors, having additional covariance and continuity properties. They are extensions of the intrinsic volumes, and as…
We present a new class of magnetic brane solutions in $(n+1)$-dimensional Brans-Dicke-Maxwell theory in the presence of a quadratic potential for the scalar field. These solutions are neither asymptotically flat nor (anti)-de Sitter. Our…

We consider $f\left(R\right) $-gravity in a Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker spacetime with zero spatial curvature. We apply the Killing tensors of the minisuperspace in order to specify the functional form of $f\left(R\right) $ and…
Kossowski and Kriele derived boundary conditions on the metric at a surface of signature change. We point out that their derivation is based not only on certain smoothness assumptions but also on a postulated form of the Einstein field…
We present the four-dimensional equations on a brane with a scalar field non-minimally coupled to the induced Ricci curvature, embedded in a five-dimensional bulk with a cosmological constant. This is a natural extension to a brane-world…
The equivalence between f(R) gravity and scalar-tensor theories is invoked to study the null, strong, weak and dominant energy conditions in Brans-Dicke theory. We consider the validity of the energy conditions in Brans-Dicke theory by…
We consider Brans Dicke scalar vector tensor gravity to study an inflationary scenario of the accelerating expansion of the universe for which the anisotropy property occurs. We study both primordial inflation and late inflationary period…
In this paper we study the isotropisation of a Generalized Scalar-Tensor theory with a massive scalar field. We find it depends on a condition on the Brans-Dicke coupling function and the potential and show that asymptotically the metric…
Minkowski space is a physically important space-time for which the finding an adequate holographic description is an urgent problem. In this paper we develop further the proposal made in hep-th/0303006 for the description as a duality…
Energy minimizing BPS equations and solutions are obtained for a class of models in Maxwell-scalar theory, where an abelian electric charge is immersed in an effective dielectric of a real scalar field. The first order BPS equations are…
We construct a cosmological scalar-tensor-theory model in which the Brans-Dicke type scalar $\Phi$ enters the effective (Jordan-frame) Hubble rate as a simple modification of the Hubble rate of the $\Lambda$CDM model. This allows us to…
The scalar-spinor interaction Lagrangian is presented by the Yukawa potential. In dS ambient space formalism, the interaction Lagrangian of scalar-spinor fields was obtained from a new transformation which is very similar to the guage…
In this work, we develop a q-deformed scalar-tensor theory of gravitation by combining Verlinde's entropic gravity paradigm with statistical deformation effects. The resulting model modifies the Brans-Dicke framework through a deformation…
