Hoelava-Lifshitz跳跃宇宙学中的涨落

Fluctuations in a Hořava-Lifshitz Bouncing Cosmology

Xian Gao, Yi Wang, Wei Xue, Robert Brandenberger

摘要:

霍瓦瓦-利夫希茨引力是一个潜在的紫外完备理论,对早期宇宙有着重要的意义。特别是,在空间曲率的存在下,有可能获得非奇异的弹跳宇宙学。这种反弹是由于引力作用中的高阶空间曲率项而实现的。在这里,我们扩展了研究的线性宇宙学扰动在Hoenava-Lifshitz引力耦合到物质的情况下,空间曲率。在没有空间曲率的情况下,我们发现标量度量扰动没有额外的动力学自由度。我们研究的波动通过反弹的演变,并表明,解决方案始终保持非奇异。如果我们从收缩阶段亚哈勃尺度上的量子真空涨落开始,并且如果收缩阶段由无压物质主导,那么对于$λ= 1$和红外极限,后期的扰动是尺度不变的。因此,霍瓦瓦-利夫希茨引力可以实现结构形成的“物质反弹”情景。

英文摘要:

Hořava-Lifshitz gravity is a potentially UV complete theory with important implications for the very early universe. In particular, in the presence of spatial curvature it is possible to obtain a non-singular bouncing cosmology. The bounce is realized as a consequence of higher order spatial curvature terms in the gravitational action. Here, we extend the study of linear cosmological perturbations in Hořava-Lifshitz gravity coupled to matter in the case when spatial curvature is present. As in the case without spatial curvature, we find that there is no extra dynamical degree of freedom for scalar metric perturbations. We study the evolution of fluctuations through the bounce and show that the solutions remain non-singular throughout. If we start with quantum vacuum fluctuations on sub-Hubble scales in the contracting phase, and if the contracting phase is dominated by pressure-less matter, then for $λ= 1$ and in the infrared limit the perturbations at late times are scale invariant. Thus, Hořava-Lifshitz gravity can provide a realization of the ``matter bounce'' scenario of structure formation.
