具有非最小引力耦合的修正引力

Modified Gravity with a Non-minimal Gravitational Coupling to Matter

Yousef Bisabr

摘要:

我们考虑修改后的引力理论与物质和几何之间的直接耦合,表示为一个任意函数的Ricci标量。由于这种耦合,物质应力张量不再守恒,并且两个分量之间存在能量转移。通过求解守恒方程,我们认为物质系统应该在这种相互作用中获得能量,正如热力学第二定律所要求的那样。在宇宙学的设置,我们表明,虽然这种相互作用可能占宇宙加速,后者与方向的能量转移约束耦合功能。

英文摘要:

We consider modified theories of gravity with a direct coupling between matter and geometry, denoted by an arbitrary function in terms of the Ricci scalar. Due to such a coupling, the matter stress tensor is no longer conserved and there is an energy transfer between the two components. By solving the conservation equation, we argue that the matter system should gain energy in this interaction, as demanded by the second law of thermodynamics. In a cosmological setting, we show that although this kind of interaction may account for cosmic acceleration, this latter together with direction of the energy transfer constrain the coupling function.
