Scalar hydrodynamics and gravitation

J. O’Hanlon, Kwok-Kee Tam

Abstract

The relativistic hydrodynamical equations governing the behavior of a system of classical particles interacting through a scalar field in the presence of gravitation are presented. The motion of a scalarly charged particle in external scalar and gravitational fields is investigated. The linear dispersion relation for a zero-temperature, classical scalar plasma in the presence of an external gravitational field is also derived. Some consequences are discussed.
