Revisiting the Brans solutions of scalar-tensor gravity

arXiv:1609.02783 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.94.104019

Abstract

Motivated by statements in the literature which contradict two general theorems, the static and spherically symmetric Brans solutions of scalar-tensor gravity are analyzed explicitly in both the Jordan and the Einstein conformal frames. Depending on the parameter range, these solutions describe wormholes or naked singularities but not black holes.
