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 $S_i$.
The Israel junction conditions of a thin shell in the context of Einstein-Cartan gravity are revisited. It is shown that with a choice of the torsion discontinuity taken to be orthogonal to the hypersurface and consistent with the antisymmetric properties of torsion tensor and contorsion tensor, the generalized asymmetric surface energy-momentum tensor turns out to be tangent to the hypersurface while the resulting generalized Israel junction conditions are modified. The main differences to previous works are mentioned.
The scenario of the slow-roll inflation is studied in the frame of the scalar-tensor theory of gravity where the scalar field has a non-minimal coupling to the geometric part. After deriving the main dynamical and perturbation equations, the model is investigated in detail for different functions of the potential and the coupling function. Considering the consistency of the model with observational model results into specific ranges for the free constants of the model. Then, the obtained ranges are reconsidered to realize whether they satisfy the swampland criteria. It is found that the swampl…
We revisit acceleration-induced nonlocal electrodynamics and the phenomenon of photon spin-rotation coupling. The kernel of the theory for the electromagnetic field tensor involves parity violation under the assumption of linearity of the field kernel in the acceleration tensor. However, we show that parity conservation can be maintained by extending the field kernel to include quadratic terms in the acceleration tensor. The field kernel must vanish in the absence of acceleration; otherwise, a general dependence of the kernel on the acceleration tensor cannot be theoretically excluded. The phy…
Revisiting slow-roll dynamics and the tensor tilt in general single-field inflation
我们探讨了Horndeski理论中势能驱动的慢卷暴胀产生蓝倾引力波谱的可能性。在Kamada等人(2012)中,他们声称在Horndeski框架内,蓝色引力波谱不能从稳定势驱动的慢卷暴胀中获得。然而,已有的研究表明,在具有Gauss-Bonnet项的暴胀过程中,当势项占主导地位且满足慢滚条件和稳定性条件时,原初引力波的谱可以是蓝色的。为了填补这一空白,我们澄清了差异来自哪里。我们扩展了Kamada et al.(2012)的公式,并证明了如果放松先前施加在拉格朗日函数中的自由函数形式上的一些条件,蓝色引力波谱肯定可以从稳定的慢卷暴胀中产生。

Metric for Rotating object in Infrared Corrected Nonlocal Gravity Model
在这里,我们推导出旋转物体周围的时空度规的引力作用量有$R\Box^{-2} R $的爱因斯坦-希尔伯特作用量的非局部修正。从一般的定常轴对称度规出发,在线性化的引力极限下,我们求解了包含旋转质量的能量动量张量在内的修正作用量的运动方程。我们还从静态度量使用Demanski-Janis-Newmann算法推导出旋转度量。最后,通过计算我们理论中的标架拖曳效应,并与广义相对论和重力探测器B的结果进行比较,得到了对$M$值的限制,其中$M$是理论的质量标度。
