F(R)引力宇宙演化中的固化奇点

Curing singularities in cosmological evolution of F(R) gravity

Stephen Appleby, Richard Battye, Alexei Starobinsky

摘要:

我们研究了$F(R)$修正的引力模型,这些模型能够在不破坏标准的大爆炸和暴胀宇宙学的情况下,驱动宇宙在目前的加速时代。最近的研究表明,一个弱曲率奇异性与$|R|\to\infty$一般可以出现在可行的$F(R)$模型目前的暗能量(DE)信号这些模型的内部不完整性。在这项工作中,我们研究如何通过添加一个足够小的系数的二次校正的$F(R)$功能在大曲率治愈这个问题。同时,这一修正消除了以前构建的可行的$F(R)$ DE模型的两个更严重的问题:在$F(R)$重力中产生的标量粒子(标量子)的质量的无界性和标量子过剩问题。这种精心构造的模型也可以产生早期的暴胀时期和晚期的德西特阶段,它们的$R$值相差很大。在这些原始和现在暗能量的组合模型中,再加热时期与旧的$R + R^{2}/6M^{2}$暴胀模型完全不同,主要是因为低曲率和中等曲率下的有效引力常量值对于正和负$R$是不同的。这改变了暴胀过程中可观测部分的e折叠数,导致原始功率谱指数的不同值。

英文摘要:

We study $F(R)$ modified gravity models which are capable of driving the accelerating epoch of the Universe at the present time whilst not destroying the standard Big Bang and inflationary cosmology. Recent studies have shown that a weak curvature singularity with $|R|\to\infty$ can arise generically in viable $F(R)$ models of present dark energy (DE) signaling an internal incompleteness of these models. In this work we study how this problem is cured by adding a quadratic correction with a sufficiently small coefficient to the $F(R)$ function at large curvatures. At the same time, this correction eliminates two more serious problems of previously constructed viable $F(R)$ DE models: unboundedness of the mass of a scalar particle (scalaron) arising in $F(R)$ gravity and the scalaron overabundance problem. Such carefully constructed models can also yield both an early time inflationary epoch and a late time de Sitter phase with vastly different values of $R$. The reheating epoch in these combined models of primordial and present dark energy is completely different from that of the old $R + R^{2}/6M^{2}$ inflationary model, mainly due to the fact that values of the effective gravitational constant at low and intermediate curvatures are different for positive and negative $R$. This changes the number of e-folds during the observable part of inflation that results in a different value of the primordial power spectrum index.
