Symmetry of Brans-Dicke Gravity As a Novel Solution-Generating Technique |
|
Abstract |
A little known symmetry group of Brans-Dicke gravity in the presence of conformally invariant matter (including electrovacuo) is used as a solution-generating technique, starting from a known solution as a seed. This novel technique is applied to generate, as examples, new spatially homogeneous and isotropic cosmologies, a 3-parameter family of spherical time-dependent spacetimes conformal to a Campanelli-Lousto geometry, and a family of cylindrically symmetric geometries. |
