动力学耦合到曲率的宇宙标量的结果

Consequences of a Cosmic Scalar with Kinetic Coupling to Curvature

Scott F. Daniel, Robert R. Caldwell

摘要:

研究了与Ricci张量梯度耦合的标量场的经典引力理论。这是一个标量-矢量-张量引力理论,但在耦合较弱且标量场像宇宙学时间尺度上的精华场一样演化的情况下,太阳系内的场方程类似于预测严格约束的优先框架效应的矢量-张量理论。在早期的宇宙中,强耦合效应可以抑制标量场的演化,从而降低一个有助于推动暴胀时代的势。在没有势的情况下,强耦合效应驱动一个惯性膨胀时期,最终终止于突然的奇点。

英文摘要:

The classical gravitational theory of a scalar field with a gradient coupling to the Ricci tensor is examined. This is a scalar-vector-tensor gravitational theory, but in the case that the coupling is weak and the scalar evolves like a quintessence field on cosmological time scales, the field equations within the solar system are similar to a vector-tensor theory predicting tightly-constrained preferred-frame effects. In the early universe, it is shown that strong coupling effects can damp the evolution of the scalar field rolling down a potential to help drive an inflationary epoch. In the absence of a potential, the strong coupling effects drive a coasting expansion epoch which ultimately terminates in a sudden singularity.
