弱场极限下的Palatini $f(R)$引力检验:太阳系、地震学与星系

Palatini $f(R)$ gravity tests in the weak field limit: Solar System, seismology and galaxies

Alejandro Hernandez-Arboleda, Davi C. Rodrigues, Júnior D. Toniato, Aneta Wojnar

AI总结:

本研究在弱场极限下从太阳系、地震学、星系三个场景检验Palatini $f(R)$引力,结合SPARC数据证明该理论无法替代星系暗物质,且该结论同样适用于Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld引力。

摘要:

Palatini $f(R)$引力或许是广义相对论(GR)最简单的扩展,也是度规仿射理论最简单的实现形式。它的自由度数量与广义相对论相同,在真空中可直接映射为带宇宙学常数的广义相对论。在物质内部,广义相对论与Palatini $f(R)$引力之间的映射是可行的,但代价是需要重新诠释物质场的含义,这种映射的物理意义与结果将取决于具体的物理情境。本文在弱场极限下研究了三类场景:太阳系动力学、行星内部动力学(地震学)以及星系。在回顾了我们此前关于太阳系与地球地震学的研究结果后,本文探讨了$f(R)$ Palatini引力作为暗物质候选者的可能性。对于任何在弱场极限下可进行多项式近似的$f(R)$,我们利用SPARC数据集以及我们近期提出的一种方法证明,该理论无法用于替代星系中的暗物质。我们还表明,这一结论同样适用于Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld引力。与度规$f(R)$引力的情况不同,仅靠旋转曲线数据就足以得出这一结论。该结果并不排除修改引力与暗物质相结合的可能性。

英文摘要:

Palatini $f(R)$ gravity is probably the simplest extension of general relativity (GR) and the simplest realization of a metric-affine theory. It has the same number of degrees of freedom as GR and, in vacuum, it is straightforwardly mapped into GR with a cosmological constant. The mapping between GR and Palatini $f(R)$ inside matter is possible but at the expense of reinterpreting the meaning of the matter fields. The physical meaning and consequences of such mapping will depend on the physical context. Here we consider three such cases within the weak field limit: Solar System dynamics, planetary internal dynamics (seismology), and galaxies. After revising our previous results on the Solar System and Earth's seismology, we consider here the possibility of $f(R)$ Palatini as a dark matter candidate. For any $f(R)$ that admits a polynomial approximation in the weak field limit, we show here, using SPARC data and a recent method that we proposed, that the theory cannot be used to replace dark matter in galaxies. We also show that the same result applies to the Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity. Differently from the metric $f(R)$ case, the rotation curve data are sufficient for this conclusion. This result does not exclude a combination of modified gravity and dark matter.
