    The Cauchy problem for metric-affine f(R) gravity in presence of perfect-fluid matter

    No full text
    The Cauchy problem for metric-affine f(R)-gravity in the manner of Palatini and with torsion, in the presence of perfect fluid matter acting as a source, is discussed following the well-known Bruhat prescriptions for general relativity. The problem results in being well formulated and well posed when the perfect-fluid form of the stress-energy tensor is preserved under conformal transformations and the set of viable f(R)-models is not empty. The key role of conservation laws in the Jordan and in the Einstein frame is also discussed. © 2009 IOP Publishing Ltd

    A critical comment on [N. Lanahan--Tremblay and V. Faraoni, 2007, Class. Quantum Grav., 24, 5667] is given discussing the well-formulation of the Chauchy problem for f(R)-gravity in metric-affine theories

    The Cauchy problem for metric-affine f(R)-gravity à la Palatini and with torsion, in presence of perfect fluid matter acting as source, is discussed following the well-known Bruhat prescriptions for General Relativity. The problem results well-formulated and well-posed when the perfect-fluid form of the stress-energy tensor is preserved under conformal transformations and the set of viable f(R) models is not empty. The key role of conservation laws in Jordan and in Einstein frame is also discussed

    The Cauchy problem for f(R)-gravity: an overview

    No full text
    We review the Cauchy problem for f(R) theories of gravity, in metric and metric-affine for- mulations, pointing out analogies and differences with respect to General Relativity. The role of conformal transformations, effective scalar fields and sources in the field equations is discussed in view of the well-posedness of the problem. Finally, criteria of viability of the f(R)-models are considered according to the various matter fields acting as sources
