广义相对论的双度量变分原理

The bimetric variational principle for General Relativity

Jose Beltran Jimenez, Alexey Golovnev, Mindaugas Karčiauskas, Tomi S. Koivisto

摘要:

双度规变分原理是对广义相对论的一种微妙的重新解释,它假设时空连接是由一个独立的度规产生的。与将连接提升为基本场的所谓Palatini形式主义不同,新的变分原理导致了物理上不同的理论,因为连接的潜力携带了新的自由度。连接生成度量自然也允许反对称分量。这会使扭转传播!这里还表明,虽然在爱因斯坦-希尔伯特作用量的最直接的推广中,非度规自由度成为幽灵,但存在非常简单的作用量,当服从双度规变分原理时,这些作用量在线性化水平上产生可行的理论。然而,非线性相互作用可能会带来不愉快的功能,如Boulware-Deser鬼。这仍有待探索,因为这种新型的双度规理论原则上不属于通常的双度规理论,在通常的双度规理论中,非线性相互作用不可避免地带有新的幽灵般的自由度。

英文摘要:

The bimetric variational principle is a subtle reinterpretation of general relativity that assumes the spacetime connection to be generated by an independent metric. Unlike the so called Palatini formalism that promotes the connection into a fundamental field, the new variational principle results in a physically distinct theory since the potential for the connection carries new degrees of freedom. The connection-generating metric naturally allows also an antisymmetric component. This sets torsion propagating! It is also shown here that while in the most straightforward generalization of the Einstein-Hilbert action the nonmetric degrees of freedom become ghosts, there exist very simple actions which give rise to viable theories at the linearised level when subjected to the bimetric variational principle. However, the non linear interactions might bring unpleasant features like the Boulware-Deser ghost. This remains to be explored since this new type of bimetric theories does not, in principle, lie in the class of usual bimetric theories where non-linear interactions inevitably come in with new ghost-like degrees of freedom.
