空间协变引力:微扰分析和场变换

Spatially covariant gravity: Perturbative analysis and field transformations

Xian Gao, Chao Kang, Zhi-Bang Yao

摘要:

我们在一大类度量理论尊重空间对称性的自由度的数量进行微扰分析,其中拉格朗日包括动力学项的空间度量和失效函数。我们发现,只要动力学项是退化的,理论传播一个单一的标量模式的线性顺序在周围的弗里德曼-罗伯逊-沃克背景扰动。然而,一个不需要的模式将再次出现病理,无论是在非线性顺序周围的弗里德曼-罗伯逊-沃克背景,或在线性顺序周围的非均匀背景。在这两种情况下,事实证明,为了删除不需要的模式,必须施加一致性条件。这种微扰的方法提供了一种替代的,也是互补的观点,在哈密顿分析得出的条件。我们还讨论了领域的重新定义下,理论之间的关系,没有时间导数的流逝函数。

英文摘要:

We make a perturbative analysis of the number of degrees of freedom in a large class of metric theories respecting spatial symmetries, of which the Lagrangian includes kinetic terms of both the spatial metric and the lapse function. We show that, as long as the kinetic terms are degenerate, the theory propagates a single scalar mode at the linear order in perturbations around a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker background. Nevertheless, an unwanted mode will reappear pathologically, either at nonlinear orders around the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker background, or at linear order around an inhomogeneous background. In both cases, it turns out that a consistency condition has to be imposed in order to remove the unwanted mode. This perturbative approach provides an alternative and also complementary point of view of the conditions derived in a Hamiltonian analysis. We also discuss the relation under field redefinitions, between theories with and without the time derivative of the lapse function.
