Open full text 2 citations

Abstract

Abstract Vacuum field equations in a scalar-tensor theory of gravitation, proposed by Ross, are obtained with the aid of a static plane-symmetric metric. A closed form exact solution to the field equations in this theory is presented which can be considered as an analogue of Taub's empty space-time in Einstein's theory.
