A gravitational theory involving a vector field $chi^{mu}$, whose zero component has the properties of a dynamical time, is studied. The variation of the action with respect to $chi^{mu}$ gives the covariant conservation of an energy momentum tensor $ T^{mu u}_{(chi)}$. Studying the theory in a background which has killing vectors and killing tensors we find appropriate shift symmetries of the field $chi^{mu}$ which lead to conservation laws. The energy momentum that is the source of gravity $ T^{mu u}_{(G)}$ is different but related to $ T^{mu u}_{(chi)}$ and the covariant conservation of $ T^{mu u}_{(G)}$ determines in general the vector field $chi^{mu}$. When $ T^{mu u}_{(chi)}$ is chosen to be proportional to the metric, the theory coincides with the Two Measures Theory, which has been studied before in relation to the Cosmological Constant Problem. When the matter model consists of point particles, or strings, the form of $ T^{mu u}_{(G)}$, solutions for $chi^{mu}$ are found. For the case of a string gas cosmology, we find that the Milne Universe can be a solution, where the gas of strings does not curve the spacetime since although $ T^{mu u}_{(chi)} eq 0$, $ T^{mu u}_{(G)}= 0$, as a model for the early universe, this solution is also free of the horizon problem. There may be also an application to the time problem of quantum cosmology.
According to General Relativity gravity is the result of the interaction between matter and space-time geometry. In this interaction space-time geometry itself is dynamical: it can store and transport energy and momentum in the form of gravitational
Cosmological solutions with a scalar field behaving as radiation are obtained, in the context of gravitational theory with dynamical time. The solution requires the spacial curvature of the universe k, to be zero, unlike the standard radiation soluti
This decade will see the first direct detections of gravitational waves by observatories such as Advanced LIGO and Virgo. Among the prime sources are coalescences of binary neutron stars and black holes, which are ideal probes of dynamical spacetime.
We study a collapsing system attracted by a spherically symmetric gravitational source, with an increasing mass, that generates back-reaction effects that are the source of space-time waves. As an example, we consider an exponential collapse and the
The direct detection of gravitational waves provides the opportunity to measure fundamental aspects of gravity which have never been directly probed before, including the polarization of gravitational waves. In the context of searches for continuous
