The mystery that the real scalar Klein-Gordon field has vanishing current densities is resolved. The scalar field is shown to be a complex field due to the condition of possessing a proper non-relativistic limit. Like the Schr\"odinger…

We examine the negative energy solution in Klein-Gordon equation in terms of the number of field components. A scalar field has only one component, and there is no freedom left for an anti-particle since the Klein-Gordon equation failed to…

Several extensions of General Relativity and high energy physics include scalar fields as extra degrees of freedom. In the search for predictions in the non-linear regime of cosmological evolution, the community makes use of numerical…
We present a simple argument to explain why the field equations of the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker metric are equivalent to those of Newtonian cosmology. By passing to the infinite limit of a family of conformally rescaled FRW metrics in…
We consider the Hamiltonian system of scalar wave field and a single nonrelativistic particle coupled in a translation invariant manner. The particle is also subject to a confining external potential. The stationary solutions of the system…
We derive exact Friedmann--Robertson--Walker cosmological solutions in general scalar--tensor gravity theories, including Brans--Dicke gravity, for stiff matter or radiation. These correspond to the long or short wavelength modes…
In this paper, we investigate the Noether symmetries of a generalized scalar-tensor, Brans-Dicke type cosmological model, in which we consider explicit scalar field dependent couplings to the Ricci scalar, and to the scalar field kinetic…
We consider a scalar field action for which the Lagrangian density is a power of the massless Klein-Gordon Lagrangian. The coupling of gravity to this matter action is considered. In this case, we show the existence of nontrivial scalar…
