21. General relativity is invariant under diffeomorphisms, but not under conformal transformations. See Ref. 47 for a clear treatment of both concepts.
22. The mechanism of convergence to general relativity should occur because the BD parameter (Formula presented) is a function of time, through its dependence on the BD scalar field (Formula presented).

57. An example of a BD exact solution dependent upon more than one parameter which does not reduce to the corresponding general-relativistic solution is the spherically symmetric BD analog of Schwarzschild’s solution 32. See Refs. 212433 for the (Formula presented) limit of this solution.
