非定域引力中标量和张量扰动的再研究

Revisiting scalar and tensor perturbations in a nonlocal gravity

S. X. Tian, Zong-Hong Zhu

摘要:

非定域RT引力理论是一种成功的修正引力理论,它不仅解释了宇宙晚期的加速现象,而且在太阳系中也表现得很好。以前的分析一般假设辅助场$S_i$在宇宙背景中消失。然而,我们发现背景$S_i$与宇宙膨胀的$a^2$成正比。然后讨论了非零背景$S_i$对宇宙背景演化、标量和张量扰动的影响。我们发现宇宙背景的演化与$S_i$无关,在太阳系尺度下,非零背景$S_i$对弱场极限的影响可以忽略。对于张量扰动,我们发现唯一可能观测到的效应是非零背景$S_i$对LIGO引力波振幅和光度距离的影响。未来的高红移引力波观测可以用来约束$S_i$的背景值。

英文摘要:

Nonlocal RT gravity is a successful modified gravity theory, which not only explains the late-time cosmic acceleration but also behaves well in the solar system. Previous analysis generally assumes the auxiliary field $S_i$ vanishes at the cosmic background. However, we find the background $S_i$ is proportional to $a^2$ with the expansion of the universe. Then we discuss the influence of the nonzero background $S_i$ on the cosmic background evolution, the scalar and tensor perturbations. We find the cosmic background evolution is independent of $S_i$, and the influence of the nonzero background $S_i$ on the weak field limit at solar system scales is negligible. For the tensor perturbation, we find the only possible observable effect is the influence of nonzero background $S_i$ on the LIGO gravitational wave amplitude and also luminosity distance. Future high redshift gravitational wave observations could be used to constrain the background value of $S_i$.
