摘要
In scalar-tensor theories of gravity, the equation of state of dark energy, w, can become smaller than -1 without violating any energy condition. The value of w today is tied to the level of deviations from general relativity which, in turn, is constrained by solar system and pulsars timing experiments. The conditions on these local constraints for w to be significantly less than -1 are established. It is demonstrated that this requires us to consider theories that differ from the Jordan-Fierz-Brans-Dicke theory and that involve either a steep coupling function or a steep potential. It is also shown how a robust measurement of w could probe scalar-tensor theories.
