摘要:

这项工作讨论标量张量引力理论,重点是Brans-Dicke子类,也注意到后者与$f(R)$引力理论的等价性。在这种情况下,1+3协变形式主义被用来讨论背景Friedmann-Laimaitre-Robertson-Walker(FLRW)时空上的协变扰动。线性扰动方程的开发,规范不变的梯度变量的基础上。标量和谐波分解,以获得二阶方程。这些方程可以用来进一步分析这种标量-张量引力理论中微扰量的行为。研究了两个系统的能量密度扰动,即标量流体辐射系统和标量流体尘埃系统,$R^{n}$模型。对于物质主导的时代,它表明,尘埃能量密度扰动指数增长,这一结果与那些已经在现有的文献。在辐射占优时期,发现辐射能量密度扰动的行为是振荡的,当n>1时振幅增大,当0<n<1时振幅衰减。这是一个新的结果。

英文摘要:

This work discusses scalar-tensor theories of gravity, with a focus on the Brans-Dicke subclass, and one that also takes note of the latter's equivalence with $f(R)$ gravitation theories. A 1+3 covariant formalism is used in this case to discuss covariant perturbations on a background Friedmann-Laimaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) space-time. Linear perturbation equations are developed, based on gauge-invariant gradient variables. Both scalar and harmonic decompositions are applied to obtain second-order equations. These equations can then be used for further analysis of the behavior of the perturbation quantities in such a scalar-tensor theory of gravitation. Energy density perturbations are studied for two systems, namely for a scalar fluid-radiation system and for a scalar fluid-dust system, for $R^{n}$ models. For the matter dominated era, it is shown that the dust energy density perturbations grow exponentially, a result which agrees with those already in existing literature. In the radiation-dominated era, it is found that the behavior of the radiation energy-density perturbations is oscillatory, with growing amplitudes for n>1, and with decaying amplitudes for 0<n<1. This is a new result.
