f(R,G)理论中物质密度扰动的线性增长

Linear growth of matter density perturbations in f(R,G) theories

Antonio De Felice, Teruaki Suyama

摘要:

本文导出了在平坦的Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker背景下,广义拉格朗日密度$f(R,\GB)$为Ricci标量$R$和Gauss-Bonnet项$\GB$的函数的亚视界尺度上的物质密度扰动方程.我们发现,有效的引力常量一般尺度为距离平方在小的距离。这种引力常量减小的效应可能在星系等宇宙物体的引力动力学中很重要,原则上可以通过观测来检验。我们还提供了有效各向异性应力的一般表达式,这是有用的约束修改的重力模型从观测的大尺度结构和弱透镜。我们还发现,有一类特殊的理论,避免这种不寻常的行为,属于这一特殊类的条件是完全相同的一个没有超光速模式的传播速度成正比于他们的波数。

英文摘要:

We derive the equation of matter density perturbations on sub-horizon scales around a flat Friedmann-Lema\^ıtre-Robertson-Walker background for the general Lagrangian density $f(R,\GB)$ that is a function of a Ricci scalar $R$ and a Gauss-Bonnet term $\GB$. We find that the effective gravitational constant generically scales as distance squared at small distances. The effect of this diminishing of the gravitational constant might be important in the gravitational dynamics of cosmic objects such as galaxies, which can be in principle tested by observations. We also provide the general expressions for the effective anisotropic stress, which is useful to constrain modified gravity models from observations of large-scale structure and weak lensing. We also find that there is a special class of theories which evade this unusual behaviour and that the condition to belong to this special class is exactly the same as the one for not having super-luminal modes with propagation speed proportional to their wavenumber.
