Shape Dynamics (SD) is a field theory that describes gravity in a different way than General Relativity (GR): it assumes a preferred notion of simultaneity, and the dynamical content of the theory consists of conformal 3- geometries. SD coincides with (GR) in most situations, in particular in the experimentally well-tested regimes, but it departs from it in some strong-gravity situations, for example at cosmological singularities or upon gravitational collapse. This chapter provides a quick introduction to the theory and a brief description of its present state.

AbstractWe present a scenario of magnetic field (MF) evolution of newly-born neutron stars (NSs). Numerical calculations show that in the hot phase of young NSs the MF can be amplified by thermoelectric effects, starting from a moderately strong seed-field. Therefore, there is no need to assume a 1012G dipole field immediately after the gravitational collapse of the supernova (SN) event. The widely accepted scenario for such a field to be produced by flux conservation during the collapse is critically discussed. Instead, it can be generated by amplification and selection effects in the first 104yrs, and by the subsequent fast ohmic decay of higher multipole components, when the NS cools down.

Geometric Definition

The conformal transformation of the Misner–Sharp mass is reexamined. It has recently been found that this mass does not transform like usual masses do under conformal mappings of spacetime. We show that when it comes to conformal transformations, the widely used geometric definition of the Misner–Sharp mass is fundamentally different from the original conception of the latter. Indeed, when working within the full hydrodynamic setup that gave rise to that mass, i.e. the physics of gravitational collapse, the familiar conformal transformation of a usual mass is recovered. The case of scalar–tensor theories of gravity is also examined.
