Gravitational Collapse of a Homogeneous Scalar Field Coupled Kinematically to Einstein Tensor
George Koutsoumbas, Konstantinos Ntrekis, Eleftherios Papantonopoulos +1
We study the gravitational collapse of a homogeneous time-dependent scalar field that, besides its coupling to curvature, it is also kinematically coupled to the Einstein tensor. T…
On the action of the complete Brans-Dicke theory
Georgios Kofinas, Minas Tsoukalas
Recently the most general completion of Brans-Dicke theory was appeared with energy exchanged between the scalar field and ordinary matter, given that the equation of motion for th…
Warped-AdS3 black holes with scalar halo
Gaston Giribet, Minas Tsoukalas
We construct a stretched (aka Warped) Anti-de Sitter black hole in 3 dimensions supported by a real scalar field configuration. The latter is regular everywhere outside and on the…
On Lovelock galileons and black holes
Christos Charmousis, Minas Tsoukalas
We study a scalar-tensor version of Lovelock theory with a non trivial higher order galileon term involving the coupling of the Lovelock two tensor with derivatives of the scalar g…
