广义相对论变形族中的宇宙学扰动

Cosmological perturbations in a family of deformations of general relativity

Kirill Krasnov, Yuri Shtanov

摘要:

我们研究线性宇宙学扰动在以前介绍的家庭变形的广义相对论的特点是没有新的自由度。这类理论中的均匀和各向同性背景是未修改的,并且由通常的弗里德曼方程描述。对宇宙学扰动理论进行了修正,使相应的形变参量具有长度维。标量型引力扰动可以用与物质扰动相关的相对论势来描述,就像在广义相对论中一样。一个微分方程系统描述的发展,这一潜力和应力-能量密度扰动得到。我们发现,标量扰动的演变与修改后的有效时间相关的声速,这与广义相对论的情况下,不消失,即使在物质占主导地位的阶段进行。在一个广泛的范围内的长度参数的值控制的变形,一个特定的过渡,从制度的修正重力的广义相对论的标量扰动的演变发生在辐射统治。在这种情况下,辐射和暗物质扰动的功率谱在跃迁前进入哈勃半径的同向运动空间尺度上受到抑制。我们估计了这种抑制不会导致可观察后果的变形参数的界限。在暴胀阶段的标量扰动的演变被修改,但非常轻微,在暴胀过程中产生的原始频谱是没有显着不同的广义相对论中获得的。

英文摘要:

We study linear cosmological perturbations in a previously introduced family of deformations of general relativity characterized by the absence of new degrees of freedom. The homogeneous and isotropic background in this class of theories is unmodified and is described by the usual Friedmann equations. The theory of cosmological perturbations is modified and the relevant deformation parameter has the dimension of length. Gravitational perturbations of the scalar type can be described by a certain relativistic potential related to the matter perturbations just as in general relativity. A system of differential equations describing the evolution of this potential and of the stress-energy density perturbations is obtained. We find that the evolution of scalar perturbations proceeds with a modified effective time-dependent speed of sound, which, contrary to the case of general relativity, does not vanish even at the matter-dominated stage. In a broad range of values of the length parameter controlling the deformation, a specific transition from the regime of modified gravity to the regime of general relativity in the evolution of scalar perturbations takes place during the radiation domination. In this case, the resulting power spectrum of perturbations in radiation and dark matter is suppressed on the comoving spatial scales that enter the Hubble radius before this transition. We estimate the bounds on the deformation parameter for which this suppression does not lead to observable consequences. Evolution of scalar perturbations at the inflationary stage is modified but very slightly and the primordial spectrum generated during inflation is not noticeably different from the one obtained in general relativity.
