Nucleosynthesis constraints on scalar-tensor theories of gravity

Nucleosynthesis constraints on scalar-tensor theories of gravity

We study the cosmological evolution of massless single-field scalar-tensor theories of gravitation from the time before the onset of $e^+e^-$ annihilation and nucleosynthesis up to the present. The cosmological evolution together with the observational bounds on the abundances of the lightest elements (those mostly produced in the early universe) place …
