Screening mechanisms for a three-form field around a dense source such as the Sun are investigated. Working with the dual vector, we can obtain a thin-shell where field interactions are short range. The field outside the source adopts the configuration of a dipole which is a manifestly distinct behaviour from the one obtained with a scalar field or even a previously proposed vector field model. We identify the region of parameter space where this model satisfies present solar system tests.

In this paper the dynamics of free gauge fields in Bianchi type I-VII$_{h}$ space-times is investigated. The general equations for a matter sector consisting of a $p$-form field strength ($p,in,{1,3}$), a cosmological constant ($4$-form) and perfect fluid in Bianchi type I-VII$_{h}$ space-times are computed using the orthonormal frame method. The number of independent components of a $p$-form in all Bianchi types I-IX are derived and, by means of the dynamical systems approach, the behaviour of such fields in Bianchi type I and V are studied. Both a local and a global analysis are performed and strong global results regarding the general behaviour are obtained. New self-similar cosmological solutions appear both in Bianchi type I and Bianchi type V, in particular, a one-parameter family of self-similar solutions,Wonderland ($lambda$) appears generally in type V and in type I for $lambda=0$. Depending on the value of the equation of state parameter other new stable solutions are also found (The Rope and The Edge) containing a purely spatial field strength that rotates relative to the co-moving inertial tetrad. Using monotone functions, global results are given and the conditions under which exact solutions are (global) attractors are found.
We present the numerical implementation of a clean solution to the outer boundary and radiation extraction problems within the 3+1 formalism for hyperbolic partial differential equations on a given background. Our approach is based on compactificatio n at null infinity in hyperboloidal scri fixing coordinates. We report numerical tests for the particular example of a scalar wave equation on Minkowski and Schwarzschild backgrounds. We address issues related to the implementation of the hyperboloidal approach for the Einstein equations, such as nonlinear source functions, matching, and evaluation of formally singular terms at null infinity.

A model is proposed in which the Hawking particles emitted by a black hole are treated as an envelope of matter that obeys an equation of state, and acts as a source in Einsteins equations. This is a crude but interesting way to accommodate for the b ack reaction. For large black holes, the solution can be given analytically, if the equation of state is $p=kapparho$, with $0<kappa<1$. The solution exhibits a singularity at the origin. If we assume $N$ free particle types, we can use a Hartree-Fock procedure to compute the contribution of one such field to the entropy, and the result scales as expected as $1/N$. A slight mismatch is found that could be attributed to quantum corrections to Einsteins equations, but can also be made to disappear when $k$ is set equal to one. The case $kappa=1$ is further analysed.
We study the Vainshtein mechanism in the context of slowly rotating stars in scalar-tensor theories. While the Vainshtein screening is well established for spherically symmetric spacetimes, we examine its validity in the axisymmetric case for slowly rotating sources. We show that the deviations from the general relativity solution are small in the weak-field approximation outside the star: the solution for the frame-dragging function is the same as in general relativity at leading order. Moreover, in most cases the corrections are suppressed by powers of the Vainshtein radius provided that the screening operates in spherical symmetry. Outside the Vainshtein radius, the frame dragging function receives corrections that are not suppressed by the Vainshtein radius, but which are still subleading. This suggests that the Vainshtein mechanism in general can be extended to slowly rotating stars and that it works analogously to the static case inside the Vainshtein radius. We also study relativistic stars and show that for some theories the frame-dragging function in vacuum does not receive corrections at all, meaning that the screening is perfect outside the star.
Gravitational theories differing from General Relativity may explain the accelerated expansion of the Universe without a cosmological constant. However, to pass local gravitational tests, a screening mechanism is needed to suppress, on small scales, the fifth force driving the cosmological acceleration. We consider the simplest of these theories, i.e. a scalar-tensor theory with first-order derivative self-interactions, and study isolated (static and spherically symmetric) non-relativistic and relativistic stars. We produce screened solutions and use them as initial data for non-linear numerical evolutions in spherical symmetry. We find that these solutions are stable under large initial perturbations, as long as they do not cause gravitational collapse. When gravitational collapse is triggered, the characteristic speeds of the scalar evolution equation diverge, even before apparent black-hole or sound horizons form. This casts doubts on whether the dynamical evolution of screened stars may be predicted in these effective field theories.
