Global Monopoles in Brans-Dicke Theory of Gravity
arXiv:gr-qc/9707040 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.56.6688
Abstract
The gravitational field of a global monopole in the context of Brans-Dicke theory of gravity is investigated. The space-time and the scalar field generated by the monopole are obtained by solving the field equations in the weak field approximation. A comparison is made with the corresponding results predicted by General Relativity.
