引力矢量张量理论中的宇宙演化

Cosmological evolution in vector-tensor theories of gravity

Jose Beltran Jimenez, Antonio L. Maroto

摘要:

本文详细研究了无势项的一般引力矢量张量理论中的宇宙演化。我们认为,在整个宇宙的膨胀历史的矢量场的演变,并进行了分类的模型,根据在每个宇宙学时代的矢量场的行为。我们还分析了宇宙由矢量场主导的情况,对系统相图进行了完整的分析,并确定了那些引起加速膨胀的吸引解。此外,我们考虑了在一个充满无压流体和矢量场的宇宙中的演化,并研究了吸引子的存在性,在吸引子中,我们可以有一个从物质主导到矢量主导的加速膨胀的过渡,使矢量场可能扮演暗能量的角色。我们发现,存在的解决方案与后期的时间加速膨胀是一个通用的预测矢量张量理论,这样的解决方案通常会导致未来奇点的存在。最后,从当地的重力测试的限制,以获得在小(太阳系)尺度上的矢量场的值的约束。

英文摘要:

We present a detailed study of the cosmological evolution in general vector-tensor theories of gravity without potential terms. We consider the evolution of the vector field throughout the expansion history of the universe and carry out a classification of models according to the behavior of the vector field in each cosmological epoch. We also analyze the case in which the universe is dominated by the vector field, performing a complete analysis of the system phase map and identifying those attracting solutions which give rise to accelerated expansion. Moreover, we consider the evolution in a universe filled with a pressureless fluid in addition to the vector field and study the existence of attractors in which we can have a transition from matter-domination to vector-domination with accelerated expansion so that the vector field may play the role of dark energy. We find that the existence of solutions with late-time accelerated expansion is a generic prediction of vector-tensor theories and that such solutions typically lead to the presence of future singularities. Finally, limits from local gravity tests are used to get constraints on the value of the vector field at small (Solar System) scales.
