曲率扰动的非形式不变性

Disformal invariance of curvature perturbation

Hayato Motohashi, Jonathan White

摘要:

我们表明,根据一般的非正式变换的线性共动曲率扰动是不相同的不变,但不变的超视界尺度的任何理论,是非正式相关的Horndeski的理论。非正式相关的曲率扰动之间的差异被发现是给定的与一个单一的正则标量场的共动密度扰动。在广义相对论中,众所周知,这个量在超视界尺度上通过结合哈密顿量和动量约束得到的泊松方程消失,我们确认,只要满足非形式变换的可逆性条件,类似的结果适用于任何与Horndeski的标量张量理论非形式相关的理论。我们还考虑了幺正规范中全非线性阶的曲率微扰,发现如果我们假设已经达到吸引子区域,则在一般的非正式变换下曲率微扰是不变的。最后,我们还讨论了计数的自由度的理论非正式相关Horndeski的。

英文摘要:

We show that under a general disformal transformation the linear comoving curvature perturbation is not identically invariant, but is invariant on superhorizon scales for any theory that is disformally related to Horndeski's theory. The difference between disformally related curvature perturbations is found to be given in terms of the comoving density perturbation associated with a single canonical scalar field. In General Relativity it is well-known that this quantity vanishes on superhorizon scales through the Poisson equation that is obtained on combining the Hamiltonian and momentum constraints, and we confirm that a similar result holds for any theory that is disformally related to Horndeski's scalar-tensor theory so long as the invertibility condition for the disformal transformation is satisfied. We also consider the curvature perturbation at full nonlinear order in the unitary gauge, and find that it is invariant under a general disformal transformation if we assume that an attractor regime has been reached. Finally, we also discuss the counting of degrees of freedom in theories disformally related to Horndeski's.
