双度量引力的观测约束

Observational constraints on bimetric gravity

Marcus Högås, Edvard Mörtsell

摘要:

无幽灵双度规引力是一个关于两个相互作用的自旋为2的场的理论,一个是无质量的,一个是有质量的,除了标准的物质粒子和场,从而推广了爱因斯坦的广义相对论。为了对理论进行参数化,我们使用了五个具有特定物理解释的可观测量。我们第一次提出了对这些参数的观测约束:(i)适用于完整的理论,(ii)与工作筛选机制(即,局部恢复广义相对论),(iii)表现出连续的、实值的背景宇宙学(没有Higuchi鬼)。对于宇宙学的约束,我们使用的数据集从宇宙微波背景,重子声学振荡,和Ia型超新星。双度规宇宙学提供了一个很好的拟合数据,即使是大的值之间的混合角的无质量和大质量的引力子。有趣的是,最适合的模型是一个自加速的解决方案,其中加速膨胀是由于动态质量自旋2场,没有宇宙学常数。由于屏蔽机制,该模型是一致的本地测试的重力,如太阳系测试和星系的引力透镜。我们还评论的可能性,以减轻哈勃的紧张与这个理论。

英文摘要:

Ghost-free bimetric gravity is a theory of two interacting spin-2 fields, one massless and one massive, in addition to the standard matter particles and fields, thereby generalizing Einstein's theory of general relativity. To parameterize the theory, we use five observables with specific physical interpretations. We present, for the first time, observational constraints on these parameters that: (i) apply to the full theory, (ii) are consistent with a working screening mechanism (i.e., restoring general relativity locally), (iii) exhibit a continuous, real-valued background cosmology (without the Higuchi ghost). For the cosmological constraints, we use data sets from the cosmic microwave background, baryon acoustic oscillations, and type Ia supernovae. Bimetric cosmology provides a good fit to data even for large values of the mixing angle between the massless and massive gravitons. Interestingly, the best-fit model is a self-accelerating solution where the accelerated expansion is due to the dynamical massive spin-2 field, without a cosmological constant. Due to the screening mechanism, the models are consistent with local tests of gravity such as solar system tests and gravitational lensing by galaxies. We also comment on the possibility of alleviating the Hubble tension with this theory.
