We review a technique for solving a class of classical linear partial differential systems of relevance to physics in Minkowski spacetime. All the equations are amenable to analysis in terms of complex solutions in the kernel of the scalar Laplacian and a complexified Hertz potential. The complexification prescription ensures the existence of regular physical solutions with chirality and propagating, non-singular, pulse-like characteristics that are bounded in all three spatial dimensions. The technique is applied to the source-free Maxwell, Bopp-Lande-Podolsky and linearised Einstein field systems, and particular solutions are used for constructing classical models describing single-cycle laser pulses and a mechanism is discussed for initiating astrophysical jets. Our article concludes with a brief introduction to spacetime Clifford algebra ideals that we use to represent spinor fields. We employ these to demonstrate how the same technique used for tensor fields enables one to construct new propagating, chiral, non-singular, pulse-like spinor solutions to the massless Dirac equation in Minkowski spacetime.

Starting with a `bare 4-dimensional differential manifold as a model of spacetime, we discuss the options one has for defining a volume element which can be used for physical theories. We show that one has to prescribe a scalar density sigma. Whereas
conventionally sqrt{|det g_{ij}|} is used for that purpose, with g_{ij} as the components of the metric, we point out other possibilities, namely sigma as a `dilaton field or as a derived quantity from either a linear connection or a quartet of scalar fields, as suggested by Guendelman and Kaganovich.
The scalar-tensor theory can be formulated in both Jordan and Einstein frames, which are conformally related together with a redefinition of the scalar field. As the solution to the equation of the scalar field in the Jordan frame does not have the o
ne-to-one correspondence with that in the Einstein frame, we give a criterion along with some specific models to check if the scalar field in the Einstein frame is viable or not by confirming whether this field is reversible back to the Jordan frame. We further show that the criterion in the first parameterized post-Newtonian approximation can be determined by the parameters of the osculating approximation of the coupling function in the Einstein frame and can be treated as a viable constraint on any numerical study in the scalar-tensor scenario. We also demonstrate that the Brans-Dicke theory with an infinite constant parameter $omega_{text{BD}}$ is a counterexample of the equivalence between two conformal frames due to the violation of the viable constraint.
An integral equation method for scalar scattering in Schwarzschild spacetime is constructed. The zeroth-order and first-order scattering phase shift is obtained.
We propose an approach to induced gravity, or Sakharovs metrical elasticity, which requires only an affine spacetime that accommodates scalar fields. The setup provides the induction of metric gravity from a pure affine action, and it is established
in two possible ways: (i) at the classical level, Einstein-Hilbert action arises with both, metric and Newtons constant, from the nonzero potential energy of the background field (ii) at the quantum level (quantized matter), gravity scale is induced from the one-loop effective action by integrating out the scalar degrees of freedom. In the former, the cosmological constant is absorbed leading to the gravitational sector, however, the fact remains that quantum corrections induce a large cosmological constant. This new approach adds a crucial feature to induced gravity which is the fact that the metric structure is not imposed from the scratch, but it is an outcome of the primary theory.
We examine homogeneous but anisotropic cosmologies in scalar-tensor gravity theories, including Brans-Dicke gravity. We present a method for deriving solutions for any isotropic perfect fluid with a barotropic equation of state ($pproptorho$) in a sp
atially flat (Bianchi type~I) cosmology. These models approach an isotropic, general relativistic solution as the expansion becomes dominated by the barotropic fluid. All models that approach general relativity isotropize except for the case of a maximally stiff fluid. For stiff fluid or radiation or in vacuum we are able to give solutions for arbitrary scalar-tensor theories in a number of anisotropic Bianchi and Kantowski-Sachs metrics. We show how this approach can also be used to derive solutions from the low-energy string effective action. We discuss the nature, and possibly avoidance of, the initial singularity where both shear and non-Einstein behavior is important.
