Neutron stars in scalar-tensor theories of gravity and catastrophe theory
arXiv:gr-qc/9801049 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.57.4802
Abstract
We investigate neutron stars in scalar-tensor theories. We examine their secular stability against spherically symmetric perturbations by use of a turning point method. For some choices of the coupling function contained in the theories, the number of the stable equilibrium solutions changes and the realized equilibrium may change discontinuously as the asymptotic value of the scalar field or total baryon number is changed continuously. The behaviour of the stable equilibrium solutions is explained by fold and cusp catastrophes. Whether the cusp catastrophe appears or not depends on the choices of the coupling function. These types of the catastrophes are structurally stable. Recently discovered spontaneous scalarization, which is non-perturbative strong-field phenomenon due to the presence of the gravitational scalar field, is well described in terms of the cusp catastrophe.
