Abstract

We consider alternative theories of gravity with a direct coupling between matter and the Ricci scalar. We study the relation between these theories and ordinary scalar–tensor gravity, or scalar–tensor theories which include non-standard couplings between the scalar and matter. We then analyze the motion of matter in such theories, its implications for the equivalence principle, and the recent claim that they can alleviate the dark matter problem in galaxies.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
