外尔横向引力中的宇宙学

Cosmology in Weyl Transverse Gravity

Ichiro Oda

摘要:

本文研究了在一般时空维中Weyl横截引力下的Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker(FLRW)宇宙学。WTDiff引力在局部Weyl(共形)变换和保体积的正态射(横正态射)下都是不变的,并且被认为至少在经典水平上(甚至在量子体系中)等价于广义相对论。通过求解运动方程,我们明确地证明了只有当空间度规是平坦的,即欧氏空间,且时滞函数是尺度因子的非平凡函数时,FLRW度规才是WTDiff引力中的经典解.

英文摘要:

We study the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) cosmology in the Weyl-transverse (WTDiff) gravity in a general space-time dimension. The WTDiff gravity is invariant under both the local Weyl (conformal) transformation and the volume preserving diffeormorphisms (transverse diffeomorphisms) and is believed to be equivalent to general relativity at least at the classical level (perhaps, even in the quantum regime). It is explicitly shown by solving the equations of motion that the FLRW metric is a classical solution in the WTDiff gravity only when the spatial metric is flat, that is, the Euclidean space, and the lapse function is a nontrivial function of the scale factor.
