f(R) Gravities à la Brans–Dicke

Abstract: We extend f (R) theories via the addition of a fundamental scalar field. The approach is reminiscent of the dilaton field of string theory and the Brans-Dicke model. f (R) theories attracted much attention recently in view of their potential to explain the acceleration of the universe. Extending f (R) models to theories with scalars can be motivated from the low energy effective action of string theory. There, a fundamental scalar (the dilaton), has a non-minimal coupling to the Ricci scalar. Furthermore beyon… Show more
