AI总结:

本文提出星系外测试粒子的观测行为可由Weyl几何及其共形不变引力理论解释,无需暗物质;通过构建共形不变作用量并求解场方程,引入有效几何质量项拟合星系旋转曲线,证明该模型是暗物质范式的可行替代方案。

摘要:

我们研究了星系外测试粒子的观测行为(通常通过假设暗物质的存在来解释)是粒子在Weyl型几何及其相关的共形不变Weyl几何二次引力中动力学演化的结果的可能性。作为我们研究的第一步,我们写下了在Weyl几何中构造的最简单的可能共形不变引力作用量,仅包含Weyl标量和Weyl矢量的强度。通过引入一个辅助标量场,该理论模型可以在Riemann几何中重新表述为标量-矢量-张量理论,分别包含一个标量场和Weyl矢量。在无物质存在的情况下,在度规形式体系中导出了该理论的场方程。考虑了一个特定的静态、球对称模型,其中Weyl矢量仅有径向分量。在这种情况下,可以获得引力场方程的精确解析解。还详细考虑了星系旋转曲线的行为,并表明也可以引入具有相关密度分布的有效几何质量项。还研究了对应于Weyl矢量某些特定函数形式的三个特例。当引入显式共形不变性破缺时,将模型与选定的星系旋转曲线样本进行了比较,这使得能够固定模型自由参数的数值。我们的结果表明,Weyl几何模型可以被视为暗物质范式的可行理论替代方案。

英文摘要:

We investigate the possibility that the observed behavior of test particles outside galaxies, which is usually explained by assuming the existence of dark matter, is the result of the dynamical evolution of particles in a Weyl type geometry, and its associated conformally invariant Weyl geometric quadratic gravity. As a first step in our investigations we write down the simplest possible conformally invariant gravitational action, constructed in Weyl geometry, and containing the Weyl scalar, and the strength of the Weyl vector only. By introducing an auxiliary scalar field, the theoretical model can be reformulated in the Riemann geometry as scalar-vector-tensor theory, containing a scalar field, and the Weyl vector, respectively. The field equations of the theory are derived in the metric formalism, in the absence of matter. A specific static, spherically symmetric model, in which the Weyl vector has only a radial component, is considered. In this case, an exact analytic solution of the gravitational field equations can be obtained. The behavior of the galactic rotation curves is also considered in detail, and it is shown that an effective geometric mass term, with an associated density profile, can also be introduced. Three particular cases, corresponding to some specific functional forms of the Weyl vector, are also investigated. A comparison of the model with a selected sample of galactic rotation curves is also performed when an explicit breaking of conformal invariance is introduced, which allows the fix of the numerical values of the free parameters of the model. Our results show that Weyl geometric models can be considered as a viable theoretical alternative to the dark matter paradigm.
