The evolution of tensor perturbations in scalar-tensor theories of gravity
arXiv:gr-qc/0612133 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.75.064012
Abstract
The evolution equations for tensor perturbations in a generic scalar tensor theory of gravity are presented. Exact solution are given for a specific class of theories and Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker backgrounds. In these cases it is shown that, although the evolution of tensor models depends on the choice of parameters of the theory, no amplification is possible if the gravitational interaction is attractive.
