局部旋转对称(LRS)类II宇宙学中的引力波

Gravitational Waves in Locally Rotationally Symmetric (LRS) Class II Cosmologies

Michael Bradley, Mats Forsberg, Zoltán Keresztes

摘要:

在这项工作中,我们考虑扰动的均匀和超曲面的正交宇宙学背景的局部旋转对称性(LRS),使用的方法的基础上的1 + 1 + 2协变分裂的时空。的背景,LRS II类,其特征在于,涡度,扭曲的2张,和磁性部分的外尔张量都消失了。他们包括平坦的弗里德曼宇宙作为一个特例。扰动时空的物质含量由无涡完美流体给出,但扰动是任意的,描述了引力波、剪切波和密度波。所有的扰动变量都可以用一组六个谐波系数的时间演化来表示。这个集合可分解为一组四个系数,其中密度扰动作为源项,另一组两个系数描述具有奇宇称的阻尼无源引力波。我们也考虑平坦的弗里德曼宇宙,它已经被其他几个人使用1 + 3协变分裂,作为检查的各向同性限制。在协议与以前的结果,我们发现一个二阶波动方程的外尔张量的磁性部分,从密度梯度的平坦弗里德曼宇宙的applications。假设包括密度梯度在内的矢量扰动为零,我们发现外尔张量的电部分也有类似的方程,这在以前是没有被注意到的。

英文摘要:

In this work we consider perturbations of homogeneous and hypersurface orthogonal cosmological backgrounds with local rotational symmetry (LRS), using a method based on the 1 + 1 + 2 covariant split of spacetime. The backgrounds, of LRS class II, are characterised by that the vorticity, the twist of the 2-sheets, and the magnetic part of the Weyl tensor all vanish. They include the flat Friedmann universe as a special case. The matter contents of the perturbed spacetimes are given by vorticity-free perfect fluids, but otherwise the perturbations are arbitrary and describe gravitational, shear, and density waves. All the perturbation variables can be given in terms of the time evolution of a set of six harmonic coefficients. This set decouples into one set of four coefficients with the density perturbations acting as source terms, and another set of two coefficients describing damped source-free gravitational waves with odd parity. We also consider the flat Friedmann universe, which~has been considered by several others using the 1 + 3 covariant split, as a check of the isotropic limit. In agreement with earlier results we find a second-order wavelike equation for the magnetic part of the Weyl tensor which decouples from the density gradient for the flat Friedmann universes. Assuming vanishing vector perturbations, including the density gradient, we find a similar equation for the electric part of the Weyl tensor, which was previously unnoticed.
