We consider the effects of quartic self-interactions on the dynamics of a binary system due to a (nearly) massless scalar field conformally coupled to matter. We investigate the deviations from General Relativity at the conservative level…
Symmetries play an important role in fundamental physics. In gravity and field theories, particular attention has been paid to Weyl (or conformal) symmetry. However, once the theory contains a scalar field, conformal transformations of the…
