论广义相对论的势及其几何

On the Potential for General Relativity and its Geometry

Gregory Gabadadze, Kurt Hinterbichler, David Pirtskhalava, Yanwen Shang

摘要:

本文给出了广义相对论中唯一的无鬼质量项和非线性势项的一种自同构和定域洛伦兹不变量形式。这种构造需要一个额外的双指数Stuckelberg场,超出了度规公式中使用的四个标量场,并揭示了一个新的局部SL(4)对称群的质量和潜在的条款,不共享的爱因斯坦-希尔伯特项。新的场是辅助的,但在两个不同的洛伦兹群下变换为矢量,其中一个是局部洛伦兹变换群,另一个是附加的全局群。这个公式使得能够以一定的体积形式对重力的质量项和势项进行几何解释。此外,我们发现,在这种方法中,解耦限制是更简单的提取,特别是,我们能够推导出表达式的矢量模式的相互作用。我们还注意到,有可能通过将双指数辅助场推广为非线性实现一定时空对称性的Nambu-Goldstone玻色子来扩展理论,并展示它是如何被Vierbein的反对称部分“吃掉”的。

英文摘要:

The unique ghost-free mass and nonlinear potential terms for general relativity are presented in a diffeomorphism and local Lorentz invariant vierbein formalism. This construction requires an additional two-index Stuckelberg field, beyond the four scalar fields used in the metric formulation, and unveils a new local SL(4) symmetry group of the mass and potential terms, not shared by the Einstein-Hilbert term. The new field is auxiliary but transforms as a vector under two different Lorentz groups, one of them the group of local Lorentz transformations, the other an additional global group. This formulation enables a geometric interpretation of the mass and potential terms for gravity in terms of certain volume forms. Furthermore, we find that the decoupling limit is much simpler to extract in this approach; in particular, we are able to derive expressions for the interactions of the vector modes. We also note that it is possible to extend the theory by promoting the two-index auxiliary field into a Nambu-Goldstone boson nonlinearly realizing a certain space-time symmetry, and show how it is "eaten up" by the antisymmetric part of the vierbein.
