The omega-tends-to-infinity limit of Brans-Dicke theory

arXiv:gr-qc/9805057 · doi:10.1016/S0375-9601(98)00387-9

Abstract

The standard tenet that Brans-Dicke theory reduces to general relativity in the omega-tends-to-infinity limit has been shown to be false when the trace of the matter energy-momentum tensor vanishes. The issue is clarified in a new approach and the asymptotic behaviour of the Brans-Dicke scalar is rigorously derived.
