Kundt geometries and memory effects in the Brans–Dicke theory of gravity

Abstract Memory effects are studied in the simplest scalar–tensor theory, the Brans–Dicke (BD) theory. To this end, we introduce, in BD theory, novel Kundt spacetimes (without and with gyratonic terms), which serve as backgrounds for the ensuing analysis on memory. The BD parameter $$\omega $$ ω and...
