Neutron star masses in R-2-gravity
We address the issue of the existence of inequivalent definitions of gravitational mass in R-2-gravity. We present several definitions of gravitational mass, and discuss the formal relations between them. We then consider the concrete case of a static and spherically symmetric neutron star, and solv...

| Zusammenfassung: | We address the issue of the existence of inequivalent definitions of gravitational mass in R-2-gravity. We present several definitions of gravitational mass, and discuss the formal relations between them. We then consider the concrete case of a static and spherically symmetric neutron star, and solve numerically the equations of motion for several values of the free parameter of the model. We compare the features of the mass-radius relations obtained for each definition of gravitational mass, and we comment on their dependence on the free parameter. We then argue that R-2-gravity is a valuable proxy to discuss the existence of inequivalent definitions of gravitational mass in a generic modified gravity theory, and present some comments on the general case.
