We present a brief review on a new dynamical mechanism for a strong field effect in scalar–tensor theory. Starting with a summary of the essential features of the theory and subsequent work by several authors, we analytically investigate the parametric excitation of a scalar gravitational field in a spherically symmetric radially pulsating neutron star.

Exact solutions for the spatially flat (k = 0) Robertson–Walker cosmological model in Brans–Dicke scalar tensor theory have been obtained in the presence of a causal viscous fluid. It is found that if the scale factor is a power function of the scalar field, then solutions can be obtained in the full causal theory but not in the truncated theory of non-equilibrium thermodynamics.

Models of static spherically-symmetric stellar configurations are discussed within the framework of the Bimetric scalar-tensor theory of gravity. The latter, in addition to the metric tensor and the scalar field, contains a background metric tensor as an absolute variable of the theory. The simplest variant of the theory with a constant coupling parameter and with a zero cosmological function is considered. The analysis includes both the white dwarfs and neutron stars. It is shown that, depending on the value of the theory parameter, the corresponding masses can be notably larger than those in general relativity.

We consider the existence of a Noether symmetry in the scalar–tensor theory of gravity in flat Friedman–Robertson–Walker (FRW) cosmology. The forms of coupling function ω(ϕ) and generic potential V(ϕ) are obtained by requiring the existence of a Noether symmetry for such theory. We derive exact cosmological solutions of the field equations from a point-like Lagrangian.
