Gravitational waves in Brans–Dicke theory with a cosmological constant

Abstract Weak field gravitational wave solutions are investigated in Brans–Dicke (BD) theory in the presence of a cosmological constant. In this setting the background geometry is not flat but asymptotically de-Sitter. We investigate the linearised field equations, and their gravitational wave solut...
