非退化 Ricci 型 Palatini 理论的稳定性

Stability of non-degenerate Ricci-type Palatini theories

Jaakko Annala, Syksy Rasanen

AI总结:

本文分析含任意物质耦合的非退化 Ricci 型 Palatini 理论在不同联络约束下的自由度与鬼场,发现除两种已知单新矢量情形外,新自由度均不健康,且射影不变性不足以保证无鬼。

摘要:

我们研究了一类理论的稳定性,其中引力作用量对 Riemann 张量的三个一阶迹具有任意代数依赖关系:这三个迹分别是 Ricci 张量、co-Ricci 张量和同伦曲率张量。我们将它们统称为 Ricci 型张量。我们允许理论与物质发生任意耦合。我们考虑了联络不受约束的情形,以及分别假定挠率或非度规性为零的情形。我们确定了哪些 Ricci 型张量组合会在 Minkowski 空间和 FLRW 空间周围引入新的自由度,以及何时会出现鬼场。除了两个先前已知的、仅存在单个新矢量场的情形之外,所有具有新自由度的理论都不是健康的。我们发现,射影不变性并不是一个理论无鬼的充分条件。

英文摘要:

We study the stability of theories where the gravitational action has arbitrary algebraic dependence on the three first traces of the Riemann tensor: the Ricci tensor, the co-Ricci tensor, and the homothetic curvature tensor. We collectively call them Ricci-type tensors. We allow arbitrary coupling to matter. We consider the case when the connection is unconstrained, and the cases when either torsion or non-metricity is assumed to vanish. We find which combinations of Ricci-type tensors lead to new degrees of freedom around Minkowski and FLRW space, and when there are ghosts. None of the theories with new degrees of freedom are healthy, except for two previously known cases where there is a single new vector. We find that projective invariance is not a sufficient condition for a theory to be ghost-free.
