高维引力中的衰减暗能量

Decaying Dark Energy in Higher-Dimensional Gravity

J. M. Overduin, P. S. Wesson, B. Mashhoon

摘要:

我们使用观测宇宙学的数据来限制广义相对论的高维扩展,其中有效的四维暗能量密度(或宇宙学“常数”)随时间衰减。特别是,我们研究这种衰减的暗能量的宇宙年龄,大尺度结构的形成,大爆炸核合成和Ia型超新星的星等红移关系的影响。其中两个测试(年龄和星等-红移关系)对理论的自由参数(类似于德西特半径的宇宙学长度尺度L)设定了适度的下限。如果超新星星等的实验不确定性可以在z=1附近降低,这些极限将得到改善。

英文摘要:

We use data from observational cosmology to put constraints on higher-dimensional extensions of general relativity in which the effective four-dimensional dark-energy density (or cosmological "constant") decays with time. In particular we study the implications of this decaying dark energy for the age of the universe, large-scale structure formation, big-bang nucleosynthesis and the magnitude-redshift relation for Type Ia supernovae. Two of these tests (age and the magnitude-redshift relation) place modest lower limits on the free parameter of the theory, a cosmological length scale L akin to the de Sitter radius. These limits will improve if experimental uncertainties on supernova magnitudes can be reduced around z=1.
