Divided into four parts, this book covers recent developments in
topics pertaining to gravity theories, including discussions on the
presence of scalar fields. Part One is devoted to exact solutions
in general relativity, and is mainly concerned with the results of
rotating null dust beams and fluids. Also included is a panoramic
vision of new research directions in this area, which would require
revising certain theorems and their possible extensions within
gravity theories, new aspects concerning the Ernst potentials,
double Kerr spacetimes, and rotating configurations. In particular,
there is a detailed discussion of totally symmetric and totally
geodesic spaces, in which a method for generating (2+1)-dimensional
solutions from (3+1)-dimensional solutions is given. Part Two deals
with alternative theories of gravity, all of which include scalar
fields and gauge fields. Here, quantum and cosmological effects,
which arise from both gravity theories in four and higher
dimensions and from metric-affine theories, are investigated. Part
Three is devoted to cosmological and inflationary scenarios. Local
effects, such as the influence of scalar fields in protogalactic
interactions, numerical studies of the collapse of molecular cores,
as well as the inverse inflationary problem and the blue eigenvalue
spectrum of it, are considered. Moreover, the role of scalar fields
as dark matter and quantum cosmology in the Bergman-Wagoner and
Gowdy theories, together with the relation of the conformal
symmetry and deflationary gas universe, are likewise presented. The
last part of the book includes some mixed topics which are still in
the experimental stage. Among them are the foundation of the
Maxwell theory, a discussion on electromagnetic Thirring problems,
a note on the staticity of black holes with non-minimally coupled
scalar fields, and a study of the Lorentz force free charged fluids
in general relativity. Thus, this book is the most up-to-date,
comprehensive collection of papers on the subject of exact
solutions and scalar fields in gravity and is a valuable tool for
researchers in the area.
