通过宇宙学限制四阶引力

Restricting Fourth Order Gravity via Cosmology

William Nelson

摘要:

本文讨论了在均匀各向同性背景和一般张量扰动下对爱因斯坦引力的一般四阶修正的宇宙学。它明确显示了如何标准的宇宙学历史可以(近似)再现,在什么条件下的张量模的演化保持(近似)不变。要求在暴胀期间与广义相对论的偏差很小,这使得目前对这种修正项的约束增加了大约30个数量级。采用更保守的方法,只要求宇宙学近似于大爆炸核合成过程中的GR,约束条件提高了4 - 6个数量级。

英文摘要:

The cosmology of general fourth order corrections to Einstein gravity is considered, both for a homogeneous and isotropic background and for general tensor perturbations. It is explicitly shown how the standard cosmological history can be (approximately) reproduced and under what condition the evolution of the tensor modes remain (approximately) unchanged. Requiring that the deviations from General Relativity are small during inflation sharpens the current constraints on such corrections terms by some thirty orders of magnitude. Taking a more conservative approach and requiring only that cosmology be approximately that of GR during Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, the constraints are improved by 4 - 6 orders of magnitude.
