f(R)引力的6+1课

6+1 lessons from f(R) gravity

Thomas P. Sotiriou

摘要:

最近在引力的替代理论的研究中有一个最近的刺激,主要是由来自宇宙学/天体物理学和高能物理学的联合动机引发的。在提出的理论中,引起广泛关注的是f(R)引力。这样一个对广义相对论的简单修改能否构成一个可行的引力理论,当然是有争议的。然而,当我们把这个理论看作一个玩具理论,它的作用是帮助我们理解超越爱因斯坦引力的含义和困难时,我们很容易看到它的优点。在这种观点下,我回顾了我们最近从f(R)引力研究中学到的一些主要教训。

英文摘要:

There has been a recent stimulus in the study of alternative theories of gravity lately, mostly triggered from combined motivation coming from cosmology/astrophysics and high energy physics. Among the proposed theories, one that has attracted much attention is f(R) gravity. It is certainly debatable whether such a simplistic modification of General Relativity can constitute a viable alternative theory of gravitation. However, it is quite straightforward to see the merits of such a theory when viewed as a toy theory whose role is to help us understand the implications and difficulties of beyond-Einstein gravity. Under this perspective, I review some of the main lessons we seem to have learned from the study of f(R) gravity in the recent past.
