Covariant equations of motion for test bodies in nonminimal coupling theories — •Dirk Puetzfeld — ZARM, Universitaet Bremen

We present covariant equations of motion for a wide class of gravitational theories with nonminimal coupling. Our findings generalize and correct previous results in the literature and allow for a systematic test of such theories by means of multipolar test bodies.
