A Note on Energy-Momentum Conservation in Palatini Formulation of L(R) Gravity

Abstract

By establishing that Palatini formulation of $L(R)$ gravity is equivalent to $\omega =-3/2$ Brans-Dicke theory, we show that energy-momentum tensor is covariantly conserved in this type of modified gravity theory.
