单模引力的宇宙学意义

Cosmological Implications of Unimodular Gravity

Pankaj Jain, Atul Jaiswal, Purnendu Karmakar, Gopal Kashyap, Naveen K. Singh

摘要:

我们考虑一个模型的重力和物质场是不变的,只有在单模一般坐标变换(GCT)。度量的行列式被视为一个单独的领域,其转化为一个标量下的么模GCT。此外,我们还要求该理论在一个新的整体对称下是不变的,我们称之为广义共形不变性。我们研究由此产生的理论的宇宙学意义。我们表明,这个理论给出了一个适合的高Z超新星的数据是相同的标准大爆炸模型。因此,我们需要一些其他的宇宙学观测来检验这个模型的有效性。我们还考虑了一些不服从广义共形不变性的模型。在这些模型中,我们可以不引入标准的宇宙学常数项来拟合超新星数据。此外,这些模型只引入一个暗分量,从而解决了暗物质和暗能量的重合问题。

英文摘要:

We consider a model of gravity and matter fields which is invariant only under unimodular general coordinate transformations (GCT). The determinant of the metric is treated as a separate field which transforms as a scalar under unimodular GCT. Furthermore we also demand that the theory is invariant under a new global symmetry which we call generalized conformal invariance. We study the cosmological implications of the resulting theory. We show that this theory gives a fit to the high-z supernova data which is identical to the standard Big Bang model. Hence we require some other cosmological observations to test the validity of this model. We also consider some models which do not obey the generalized conformal invariance. In these models we can fit the supernova data without introducing the standard cosmological constant term. Furthermore these models introduce only one dark component and hence solve the coincidence problem of dark matter and dark energy.
