显协变规范不变宇宙学扰动理论

Manifestly Covariant Gauge-invariant Cosmological Perturbation Theory

P. G. Miedema, W. A. van Leeuwen

摘要:

它表明,一阶宇宙学扰动理论的开放,平坦和封闭的Friedmann-Lemaintre-Robertson-Walker宇宙承认一个,只有一个,规范不变的变量,它描述了扰动的能量密度,并成为等于通常的牛顿能量密度在非相对论性的限制。粒子数密度的微扰也是如此。利用这两个新变量,一个新的明显规范不变的宇宙学扰动理论已经发展起来。密度扰动非绝热地发展。总能量密度的扰动与粒子数密度的扰动引力耦合,而与粒子的性质无关。在第一级,宇宙的整体膨胀没有微扰的反作用。在辐射主导的时代,小尺度扰动的振荡幅度越来越大,而在较老的,不太精确的治疗,振荡扰动的幅度下降。这是一个全新的,显然是重要的结果,因为它使得解释和理解物质和辐射解耦后大质量恒星的形成成为可能。

英文摘要:

It is shown that a first-order cosmological perturbation theory for the open, flat and closed Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker universes admits one, and only one, gauge-invariant variable which describes the perturbation to the energy density and which becomes equal to the usual Newtonian energy density in the non-relativistic limit. The same holds true for the perturbation to the particle number density. Using these two new variables, a new manifestly gauge-invariant cosmological perturbation theory has been developed. Density perturbations evolve diabatically. Perturbations in the total energy density are gravitationally coupled to perturbations in the particle number density, irrespective of the nature of the particles. There is, in first-order, no back-reaction of perturbations to the global expansion of the universe. Small-scale perturbations in the radiation-dominated era oscillate with an increasing amplitude, whereas in older, less precise treatments, oscillating perturbations are found with a decreasing amplitude. This is a completely new and, obviously, important result, since it makes it possible to explain and understand the formation of massive stars after decoupling of matter and radiation.
