On the equations of motion in scalar-tensor theories [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1404.6977


We work out the equations of motion for extended test bodies for a large class of scalar-tensor theories of gravitation. Our aim is to shed more light on the discussion of the so-called Jordan and Einstein formulation of these theories. The results obtained provide the framework to experimentally test which metric is physical in scalar-tensor theories.
