Horndeski规范-引力耦合的边界

Bounds on the Horndeski Gauge-Gravity Coupling

Alireza Allahyari, Mohammad Ali Gorji, Shinji Mukohyama

摘要:

Horndeski规范-引力耦合是引力与规范玻色子之间最重要的非最小相互作用,它保留了粒子物理标准模型和广义相对论的所有对称性和物理自由度。本文研究了非极小相互作用在天文学和宇宙学中的作用,得到了相应的无量纲耦合常数$λ$的上界。通过对适用于致密天体的规范玻色子运动方程的修正,我们分别找到了黑洞阴影、中子星和白矮星的上界$|λ| \lesssim 10^{88}$、$|λ| \lesssim 10^{75}$和$|λ| \lesssim 10^{84}$.从中子星推导出的约束$|λ| \lesssim 10^{75}$是最强的,并提供了20个数量级的改进,以前已知的最佳界限上的这个参数。另一方面,该项对引力泊松方程的修正的影响导致较弱的束缚$|λ| \lesssim 10^{98}$。从引力波的传播中,我们还发现了更弱的$|λ| \lesssim 10^{119}$。

英文摘要:

The Horndeski gauge-gravity coupling is the leading non-minimal interaction between gravity and gauge bosons, and it preserves all the symmetries and the number of physical degrees of freedom of the standard model of particle physics and general relativity. In this paper we study the effects of the non-minimal interaction in astronomy and cosmology, and obtain upper bounds on the associated dimensionless coupling constant $λ$. From the modification of equations of motion of gauge bosons applied to compact astronomical objects, we find upper bounds $|λ| \lesssim 10^{88}$, $|λ| \lesssim 10^{75}$ and $|λ| \lesssim 10^{84}$ from a black hole shadow, neutron stars and white dwarfs, respectively. The bound $|λ| \lesssim 10^{75}$ that is deduced from neutron stars is the strongest and provides twenty orders of magnitude improvement of the previously known best bound on this parameter. On the other hand, the effects of this term on modification of the gravitational Poisson equation lead to a weaker bound $|λ| \lesssim 10^{98}$. From the propagation of gravitational waves we also find $|λ| \lesssim 10^{119}$, which is even weaker.
