Linearized field equations and extra force in f(R,T(n)) extended gravity

    This article is part of the issue:

    We consider an extended theory of gravity with Lagrangian =f(R,T(n)), with T(n) being a 2nth-order invariant made of contractions of the energy–momentum tensor. When n=1, this theory reduces to f(R,T) gravity, where T accounts for the trace of the energy–momentum tensor. We study the gravitational wave polarization modes, from which it results that when the matter Lagrangian contains dynamical scalar fields minimally coupled to the geometry, further polarization modes arise with respect to General Relativity. Finally, we show that the motion for test particles is nongeodesic and we explicitly obtain the extra force.
