摘要:

以前发现,在从大质量引力产生的标量-张量理论的某个参数子空间中,静态球对称源产生的唯一稳定场位形是具有宇宙学渐近性的。此外,这些背景被证明在空间中的任何地方都是亚光速的;与通常认为这些理论在静态源附近必然是超光速的相反。在这项工作中,我们完成了分析,将其扩展到涵盖整个参数空间的标量张量理论。我们发现,稳定性的论点,使渐近平坦的背景不可实现,迫使再次宇宙学渐近。在无压源的情况下,这些背景是稳定的。然而,它们在大于临界密度的正压存在下变得不稳定。即使在自加速背景下,标量模从源中激发,在源所占的区域内,它也获得椭圆运动方程。因此,我们得出结论,唯一的参数空间,这是不排除,太阳系的测量,是一个考虑Berezhiani { \it等人}。(arXiv:1302.0549),即标量和张量模式可以通过局部变换对角化的模式。我们还重新调查的规模,微扰理论打破了一般的伽利略理论。我们表明,Vainshtein机制成功地纠正了强耦合规模小,就像在立方Galileon,尽管取消发生在特殊的球对称的情况下。我们强调,即使这些测试是在微扰理论崩溃的尺度上进行的,这些也不能被解释为引力子质量的下限。

英文摘要:

It was previously found that in a certain parameter subspace of scalar-tensor theories emerging from massive gravity, the only stable field configuration created by static spherically symmetric sources was one with cosmological asymptotics. Moreover, these backgrounds were shown to be sub-luminal everywhere in the space; in contrast to the common believe that these theories are necessarily superluminal in the vicinity of a static source. In this work we complete that analysis by extending it to cover the whole parameter space of these scalar-tensor theories. We find that the stability argument renders the asymptotically flat backgrounds unrealizable, forcing once again for cosmological asymptotics. In the case of pressureless sources these backgrounds are stable. However, they get destabilized in the presence of positive pressure, larger than a critical density. Even on the self-accelerated background, on which the scalar mode decouples from sources, in the region occupied by the source it acquires an elliptic equation of motion. Therefore, we conclude that the only parameter space which is not ruled out, by solar system measurements, is the one considered in Berezhiani {\it et al.} (arXiv:1302.0549), namely the one for which the scalar and tensor modes can be diagonalized via local transformations. We also reinvestigate the scale at which perturbation theory breaks down in a general Galileon theory. We show that the Vainshtein mechanism successfully redresses the strong coupling scale to a small one, just like in the cubic Galileon, despite the cancellations occurring in the special spherically symmetric case. We emphasize that even if these tests were performed at scales at which perturbation theory broke down, these could not be interpreted as a lower bound for the graviton mass.
