Stratified scalar field theories of gravitation with self-energy term and effective particle Lagrangian
arXiv:1807.00036 · doi:10.1140/epjc/s10052-018-6006-7
Abstract
We construct a general stratified scalar theory of gravitation from a field equation that accounts for the self-interaction of the field and a particle Lagrangian, and calculate its post-Newtonian parameters. Using this general framework, we analyze several specific scalar theories of gravitation and check their predictions for the solar system post-Newtonian effects.
