Gauge invariant perturbations of Scalar-Tensor Cosmologies: The vacuum case

Abstract

The covariant gauge invariant perturbation theory of scalar cosmological perturbations is developed for a general Scalar-Tensor Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker cosmology in a vacuum. The perturbation equations are then solved exactly in the long wavelength limit for a specific coupling, potential and background. Differences with the minimally coupled case are briefly discussed.
