The 5D Spacetime Consortium http://astro.uwaterloo.ca/~wesson/#PUB We are a group of physicists and astronomers working on a 5-dimensional version of general relativity. Derivation of gravitational waves in Einstein, Brans-Dicke and Rosen theories of gravity. http://www.davis-inc.com/relativity Mathematical derivation of gravitational waves to quadrupole order in the Brans-Dicke scalar-tensor and Rosen bi-metric theories of gravity. Gravitational Waves: An Introduction http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/9908041 This paper presents an elementary introduction to the theory of gravitational waves.
