一般二阶标量张量理论,自调谐和Fab Four
General second order scalar-tensor theory, self tuning, and the Fab Four
摘要:
从最一般的标量张量理论与四维二阶场方程出发,我们建立了独特的作用,这将允许FLRW背景下存在一致的自调谐机制,并展示了它如何可以被理解为只有四个基础拉格朗日的组合,其具有依赖于Ricci标量,爱因斯坦张量,黎曼张量和高斯-博内组合的双重对偶。在任何给定时刻,时空曲率都可以从净宇宙学常数中屏蔽出来,因为我们允许标量场在自调谐真空上打破庞加莱不变性,从而避开了温伯格不通过定理。我们展示了如何结合在一个优雅的方式打开获得非平凡的宇宙学解决方案的可能性的四个任意函数的标量场。
英文摘要:
Starting from the most general scalar-tensor theory with second order field equations in four dimensions, we establish the unique action that will allow for the existence of a consistent self-tuning mechanism on FLRW backgrounds, and show how it can be understood as a combination of just four base Lagrangians with an intriguing geometric structure dependent on the Ricci scalar, the Einstein tensor, the double dual of the Riemann tensor and the Gauss-Bonnet combination. Spacetime curvature can be screened from the net cosmological constant at any given moment because we allow the scalar field to break Poincaré invariance on the self-tuning vacua, thereby evading the Weinberg no-go theorem. We show how the four arbitrary functions of the scalar field combine in an elegant way opening up the possibility of obtaining non-trivial cosmological solutions.
