无鬼质量引力理论中的能量

Energy in ghost-free massive gravity theory

Mikhail S. Volkov

摘要:

给出了无鬼质量引力理论中能量的详细计算。能量是以标准的方式定义在规范的方法,但要评估它需要解决的哈密顿约束,这是已知的,在一般情况下,只有隐含的。幸运的是,约束可以明确地获得和解决的球对称部门,这使得人们可以评估的能量。事实证明,能量是积极的全球正规和渐近平坦的领域构成的“物理部门”的理论。在其他情况下,能量可以是负的,甚至从下面看是无限的,这表明该理论仍然受到鬼不稳定性的困扰。然而,一个详细的检查表明,相应的解决方案的约束不是全局正则或不是渐近平坦的。这样的解决方案不能描述触发物理扇区的幽灵不稳定性的初始数据。这使得人们可以推测,物理扇区实际上可以通过将其与负能量状态分开的势垒来保护其免受不稳定性的影响。

英文摘要:

The detailed calculations of the energy in the ghost-free massive gravity theory is presented. The energy is defined in the standard way within the canonical approach, but to evaluate it requires resolving the Hamiltonian constraints, which are known, in general, only implicitly. Fortunately, the constraints can be explicitly obtained and resolved in the spherically symmetric sector, which allows one to evaluate the energy. It turns out that the energy is positive for globally regular and asymptotically flat fields constituting the "physical sector" of the theory. In other cases the energy can be negative and even unbounded from below, which suggests that the theory could be still plagued with ghost instability. However, a detailed inspection reveals that the corresponding solutions of the constraints are either not globally regular or not asymptotically flat. Such solutions cannot describe initial data triggering ghost instability of the physical sector. This allows one to conjecture that the physical sector could actually be protected from the instability by a potential barrier separating it from negative energy states.
