Cover; Half-title; Series-title; Title; Copyright; Dedication; Contents; Preface; Conventions and notation; 1 Introduction; 2 The prototype Brans��icke model; 3 Conformal transformation; 4 Cosmology with Lambda; 5 Models of an accelerating universe; 6 Quantum effects; Appendix A The scalar field from Kaluza��lein theory; Appendix B The curvature scalar from the assumed two-sheeted space-time; Appendix C The field equation of gravity n the presence of nonminimal coupling; Appendix D The law of conservation of matter; Appendix E Eddington�� parameters

A pedagogical overview of the theoretical ideas behind the cosmological constant problem, in particular the scalar-tensor theory, which is one of the most popular alternative theories of gravitation. Covering recent developments in the field, including branes and quintessence, it will be an invaluable resource for graduate students and researchers alike.
