Scalar-tensor theories and cosmology
Gilles Esposito-Farese
Scalar-tensor theories are the best motivated alternatives to general relativity and provide a mathematically consistent framework to test the various observable predictions. They…
A phenomenological approach to quintessence in scalar-tensor gravity
G. Esposito-Farese
This talk is based on my work in collaboration with B. Boisseau, D. Polarski, and A.A. Starobinsky. The most natural and best-motivated alternatives to general relativity are the s…
Tests of strong-field gravity and gravitational radiation damping in binary-pulsar systems
G. Esposito-Farese
This talk reviews the constraints imposed by binary-pulsar data on gravity theories, and notably on "scalar-tensor" theories which are the most natural alternatives to general rela…
Comparing solar-system, binary-pulsar, and gravitational-wave tests of gravity
Gilles Esposito-Farese
This talk is based on my work in collaboration with Thibault Damour. We compare the probing power of different classes of gravity experiments: solar-system tests (weak-field regime…
Binary-pulsar tests of strong-field gravity
Gilles Esposito-Farese
This talk is based on my work in collaboration with Thibault Damour since 1991. Unified theories, like superstrings, predict the existence of scalar partners to the graviton. Such…
