Tensor mass and particle number peak at the same location in the scalar-tensor gravity boson star models - an analytical proof

Recently in boson star models in framework of Brans-Dicke theory, three possible definitions of mass have been identified, all identical in general relativity, but different in scalar-tensor theories of gravity.It has been conjectured that it's the tensor mass which peaks, as a function of the central density, at the same location where the particle number takes its maximum.This is a very important property which is crucial for stability analysis via catastrophe theory. This conjecture has received some numerical support. Here we give an analytical proof of the conjecture in framework of the generalized scalar-tensor theory of gravity, confirming in this way the numerical calculations.Comment: 9 pages, latex, no figers, some typos corrected, reference adde

Neutron star in presence of torsion-dilaton field

We develop the general theory of stars in Saa's model of gravity with propagating torsion and study the basic stationary state of neutron star. Our numerical results show that the torsion force decreases the role of the gravity in the star configuration leading to significant changes in the neutron star masses depending on the equation of state of star matter. The inconsistency of the Saa's model with Roll-Krotkov-Dicke and Braginsky-Panov experiments is discussed.Comment: 29 pages, latex, 24 figures, final version.
