Conformal transformations and Nordström's scalar theory of gravity
arXiv:1012.5386 · doi:10.1143/PTPS.190.143
Abstract
As we shall briefly recall, Nordström's theory of gravity is observationally ruled out. It is however an interesting example of non-minimal coupling of matter to gravity and of the role of conformal transformations. We show in particular that they could be useful to extend manifolds through curvature singularities.
