摘要:

某些具有高阶导数相互作用和新颖的经典和量子力学性质的标量场--伽利略子--可以通过与非线性质量引力耦合而自然地协变,使得它们的对称性和自由度数保持不变。我们研究这些模型中的传播自由度周围的宇宙学有趣的背景。我们确定了必要的条件,这样一个理论保持鬼自由,并考虑何时可以避免快子不稳定性。我们表明,在自加速分支的解决方案,大质量引力子的矢量和标量模式的动力学项消失,在纯大质量引力的情况下。

英文摘要:

Certain scalar fields with higher derivative interactions and novel classical and quantum mechanical properties - the Galileons - can be naturally covariantized by coupling to nonlinear massive gravity in such a way that their symmetries and number of degrees of freedom are unchanged. We study the propagating degrees of freedom in these models around cosmologically interesting backgrounds. We identify the conditions necessary for such a theory to remain ghost free, and consider when tachyonic instabilities can be avoided. We show that on the self-accelerating branch of solutions, the kinetic terms for the vector and scalar modes of the massive graviton vanish, as in the case of pure massive gravity.
