Compact objects in gravity theories [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.09499


We briefly discuss explicit compact object solutions in higher-order scalar-tensor theories. We start by so-called stealth solutions, whose metric are General Relativity (GR) solutions, but accompanied by a non-trivial scalar field, in both spherically-symmetric and rotating cases. The latter then enables to construct an analytic stationary solution of scalar tensor theory which is called disformed Kerr metric. This solution constitutes a measurable departure from the usual Kerr geometry of GR. We finally consider a scalar-tensor theory stemming from a Kaluza-Klein reduction of a higher-dimensional Lovelock theory, and which enables to obtain non-stealth black holes, highly compact neutron stars and finally wormhole solutions.
