用宇宙学扰动理论区分广义相对论与单模引力

Using cosmological perturbation theory to distinguish between General Relativity and Unimodular Gravity

Marcelo H. Alvarenga, Júlio C. Fabris, Hermano Velten

摘要:

幺模引力理论是替代广义相对论的最古老的几何引力理论之一。本质上,它是基于爱因斯坦-希尔伯特拉格朗日与一个额外的限制行列式的度量。可以明确地表明,在存在宇宙学常数的情况下,单模引力可以被改写为广义相对论。这一事实导致了许多关于这两种理论在经典和量子水平上的等价性的讨论。在这里,我们提出了一个分析的重点是经典标量扰动周围的宇宙学背景。讨论的情况下,引入了一个非最小的耦合标量场。我们的结果表明,等价性在微扰水平上没有得到完全验证。

英文摘要:

Unimodular Gravity is one of the oldest geometric gravity theory alternative to General Relativity. Essentially, it is based on the Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian with an additional constraint on the determinant of the metric. It can be explicitly shown that Unimodular Gravity can be recast as General Relativity in presence of a cosmological constant. This fact has led to many discussions on the equivalence of both theories at classical and quantum levels. Here we present an analysis focused on the classical scalar perturbations around a cosmological background. The discussion is extended for the case where a non-minimal coupled scalar field is introduced. Our results indicate that the equivalence is not verified completely at perturbative level.
