Abstract:
As we shall briefly recall, Nordström's theory of gravity is
observationally ruled out. It is however an interesting example
of non-minimal coupling of matter to gravity and of the role of conformal
transformations. We show in particular that they could be useful to extend
manifolds through curvature singularities.
