红外引力和有效非局域模型

Gravity in the infrared and effective nonlocal models

Enis Belgacem, Yves Dirian, Andreas Finke, Stefano Foffa, Michele Maggiore

摘要:

我们对我们小组在过去几年中进行的一个研究路线进行了系统和最新的讨论,其中通过引入非局域项来在宇宙学距离上修改引力,假设非局域项在有效水平上从红外行为中出现。量子理论。产生一个可行的宇宙学的要求是非常严格的,基本上选择一个唯一的模型,其中非局部项描述了共形模的有效质量。我们讨论了这样一个特定的结构可以出现从一个基本的本地引力理论,我们执行了一个详细的比较,这个模型与最近的宇宙学数据集,确认它适合当前的数据在同一水平的$Λ$ CDM。最值得注意的是,该模型在张量扰动领域有惊人的预测,导致引力波(GW)在宇宙学距离上的传播产生非常大的影响。在与下一代GW探测器(如爱因斯坦望远镜,宇宙探测器和LISA)相关的红移下,这导致了与GR的偏差可能与$80\%$一样大,并且可以通过检测到一个具有电磁对应物的合并双星来验证。这也将对寻找对应物产生潜在的重要影响,因为对于给定的到源的光度距离,如通过GW信号推断的,实际的源红移可能与$Λ$ CDM预测的有很大的不同。在与先进的LIGO/Virgo/Kagra相关的红移中,这种效应较小,但在目标灵敏度下运行几年后仍然可以观察到。

英文摘要:

We provide a systematic and updated discussion of a research line carried out by our group over the last few years, in which gravity is modified at cosmological distances by the introduction of nonlocal terms, assumed to emerge at an effective level from the infrared behavior of the quantum theory. The requirement of producing a viable cosmology turns out to be very stringent and basically selects a unique model, in which the nonlocal term describes an effective mass for the conformal mode. We discuss how such a specific structure could emerge from a fundamental local theory of gravity, and we perform a detailed comparison of this model with the most recent cosmological datasets, confirming that it fits current data at the same level as $Λ$CDM. Most notably, the model has striking predictions in the sector of tensor perturbations, leading to a very large effect in the propagation of gravitational wave (GWs) over cosmological distances. At the redshifts relevant for the next generation of GW detectors such as Einstein Telescope, Cosmic Explorer and LISA, this leads to deviations from GR that could be as large as $80\%$, and could be verified with the detection of just a single coalescing binary with electromagnetic counterpart. This would also have potentially important consequences for the search of the counterpart since, for a given luminosity distance to the source, as inferred through the GW signal, the actual source redshift could be significantly different from that predicted by $Λ$CDM. At the redshifts relevant for advanced LIGO/Virgo/Kagra the effect is smaller, but still potentially observable over a few years of runs at target sensitivity.
