We generalise Wesson's procedure, whereby vacuum $(4+1)-$dimensional field equations give rise to $(3+1)-$dimensional equations with sources, to arbitrary dimensions. We then employ this generalisation to relate the usual…
Wehus and Ravndal have argued that in d + 1 dimensions the general solution for gravity minimally coupled to a scalar field can not be explicitly written in Schwarzschild coordinates. We contest these objections.
We naturally extend the theory of gravity with a conformally coupled scalar field by only requiring conformal invariance of the scalar field equation of motion and not of the action. The classically extended theory incorporates a…

The dynamic status of scalar fields is studied in the Hamiltonian approach to the General Relativity. We show that the conformal coupling of the scalar field violates the standard geometrical structure of the Einstein equations in GR and…

The non-minimal coupling of gravity to a scalar field can be transformed into a minimal coupling through a conformal transformation. We show how to connect the results of a perturbation calculation, performed around a…
In this paper, we consider a gravitational theory including a Dirac field that is non-minimal coupled to gravity in $2+1$ dimensions. Noether gauge symmetry approach can be used to fix the form of coupling function $F(\Psi)$ and the…
