引力的有效理论和修正

Effective Theories and Modifications of Gravity

C. P. Burgess

摘要:

我们生活在一个关于我们如何成功地理解引力的相互矛盾的信息的时代。广义相对论似乎在地球附近运行得很好,但有很多论点认为它需要在非常小和/或非常大的距离上进行修改。本文试图将这一讨论置于物理学其他领域类似情况的更广泛背景下,并总结了我们对太阳系引力的良好理解对支持者在很长和很短距离上对其进行修改的一些教训。主要的信息是,有效的理论,在技术意义上的“有效”,提供了自然的语言来测试的建议,因此也是有效的口语意义。

英文摘要:

We live at a time of contradictory messages about how successfully we understand gravity. General Relativity seems to work very well in the Earth's immediate neighborhood, but arguments abound that it needs modification at very small and/or very large distances. This essay tries to put this discussion into the broader context of similar situations in other areas of physics, and summarizes some of the lessons which our good understanding of gravity in the solar system has for proponents for its modification over very long and very short distances. The main message is that effective theories, in the technical sense of `effective', provide the natural language for testing proposals, and so are also effective in the colloquial sense.
