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.

Theory Of Gravity

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 study spherically symmetric spacetime with anisotropic fluid in the scalar–tensor theory of gravity based on Lyra geometry. We suggest two different solutions of field equations for the theory by using Casimir effect. Obtained static and nonstatic solutions are similar to nonexpanding Lorentzian wormhole and expanding FRW-type wormhole, respectively. Furthermore, we study singularities of obtained solutions. We emphasize whether the expanding and nonexpanding wormholes conform with Big Rip or Big Crunch scenarios. Also, physical and geometrical properties of the solutions have been discussed.
