Conformal Transformations and Nordström's Scalar Theory of Gravity

Year: 2011

Type: article

Abstract: As we shall briefly recall, Nordström's theory of gravity is observationally ruled out. It is however an interesting example of non-minimal coupling of matter to gravity and of the role of conformal transformations. We show in particular that they could be useful to extend manifolds through curvature singularities.
