By applying the equivalence principle to the propagation of scalar waves in a curved spacetime, the value 1/6 for the coupling constant between the field and the Ricci scalar is derived. No coupling to higher-order scalars constructed from the Riemann tensor is allowed.

Abstract
By applying the equivalence principle to the propagation of scalar waves in a curved spacetime, the value 1/6 for the coupling constant between the field and the Ricci scalar is derived. No coupling to higher-order scalars constructed from the Riemann tensor is allowed.File in questo prodotto:
