SUMMARY:Averaging inhomogeneities in scalar-tensor cosmology - Vincenzo Vi
 tagliano\, SISSA
DTSTART:20091113T130000Z

CONTACT:David Seery
DESCRIPTION:The backreaction of inhomogeneities on the cosmic dynamics is 
 studied in the context of scalar-tensor gravity. Due to terms of indefinit
 e sign in the non-canonical effective energy tensor of the Brans-Dicke-lik
 e scalar field\, extra contributions to the cosmic acceleration can arise.
  Brans-Dicke and metric f(R) gravity are presented as specific examples.\n
