Preliminary Paper or books regarding Brans-Dicke theory

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on resources for newcomers to the Brans-Dicke theory, a significant concept in scalar-tensor theories of gravity. Participants recommend starting with accessible introductions such as "Brans-Jordan-Brans-Dicke Theory," which provides a foundational overview. These resources are essential for understanding the theoretical framework and implications of the Brans-Dicke theory in modern physics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of general relativity
  • Familiarity with scalar-tensor theories
  • Knowledge of gravitational theories
  • Ability to comprehend theoretical physics literature
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Brans-Jordan-Brans-Dicke Theory" for foundational concepts
  • Explore scalar-tensor theories in detail
  • Study the implications of Brans-Dicke theory on cosmology
  • Review academic papers on recent developments in Brans-Dicke theory
USEFUL FOR

Students of theoretical physics, researchers in gravitational theories, and anyone interested in the foundational aspects of the Brans-Dicke theory.

Can anyone please suggest which books or articles can be taken which would start from a preliminary one for a newcomer like me for understanding the Brans-Dicke theory .
Thanks.
