GW170817之后的暗能量,再访

Dark energy after GW170817, revisited

Edmund J. Copeland, Michael Kopp, Antonio Padilla, Paul M. Saffin, Constantinos Skordis

摘要:

我们重新审视了标量张量理论的地位,并将其应用于引力波信号GW 170817及其光学对应物GRB 170817 A之后的暗能量。在宇宙学背景的水平上,我们确定了一类理论,以前宣布在这种情况下是不可行的,其反常的引力波速度是成比例的标量运动方程。只要标量场被假定不直接与物质耦合,这就增加了与任何宇宙学源的引力波数据兼容的可能性,这要归功于标量动力学。这个新的“获救”类理论包括从Horndeski理论广义五次伽利略的例子。尽管这个领先的顺序结果的承诺,我们表明,漏洞最终失败时,我们包括大规模的不均匀性的影响。

英文摘要:

We revisit the status of scalar-tensor theories with applications to dark energy in the aftermath of the gravitational wave signal GW170817 and its optical counterpart GRB170817A. At the level of the cosmological background, we identify a class of theories, previously declared unviable in this context, whose anomalous gravitational wave speed is proportional to the scalar equation of motion. As long as the scalar field is assumed not to couple directly to matter, this raises the possibility of compatibility with the gravitational wave data, for any cosmological sources, thanks to the scalar dynamics. This newly "rescued" class of theories includes examples of generalised quintic galileons from Horndeski theories. Despite the promise of this leading order result, we show that the loophole ultimately fails when we include the effect of large scale inhomogeneities.
