Einstein and Jordan frames reconciled: A frame-invariant approach to scalar-tensor cosmology

Einstein and Jordan frames reconciled: A frame-invariant approach to scalar-tensor cosmology

Scalar-tensor theories of gravity can be formulated in different frames, most notably, the Einstein and the Jordan one. While some debate still persists in the literature on the physical status of the different frames, a frame transformation in scalar-tensor theories amounts to a local redefinition of the metric, and then …
