Abstract

We obtain two dimensional analogue of the Jordan-Brans-Dicke (JBD) gravity action described in four dimensional spherically symmetric curved space time metric. There will be two scalar fields, namely, the Brans Dicke (BD) ϕ and scale factor of 2-sphere part of the space time ψ. We obtained suitable duality transformations between (ψ, ϕ) and (ρ, S) where ρ and S is respectively amplitude and phase part of the corresponding de Broglie pilot wave function \(\Psi (\rho ,S)=\sqrt {\rho }e^{iS}.\) Covariant conservation of mass-energy current density of particles ensemble J a = ρ∂ a S, is established by applying a particular dynamical conformal frame described by (ρ, S).
