Francisco X. Linares Cedeño, Ulises Nucamendi

AI总结:

本研究在幺模引力框架下推导牛顿与同步规范的等价形式,首次证明二者可自洽固定但异于广义相对论,揭示了其对冷暗物质密度扰动的影响并验证了萨克斯-沃尔夫效应。

摘要:

本研究聚焦于物质与几何线性扰动的宇宙学演化,在幺模引力(Unimodular Gravity)框架下计算了牛顿规范与同步规范的等价表达式,这两种规范是玻尔兹曼代码中常用且已实现的规范。我们分析的一个重要方面是纳入了能量-动量流破坏及其扰动项。此外,我们首次证明可以自洽地固定这两种规范,不过正如先前文献已经指出的,从广义相对论给出的物质与度规涨落动力学意义上看,这两种规范都无法被完全复现。具体而言,我们表明由于线性扰动层面的幺模约束仅导致度规涨落的标量模式存在一个自由度,幺模引力的动力学要求在牛顿规范中必须保留各向异性应力,而在同步规范中无法设定冷暗物质的共动参考系。本文还探讨了这一效应对冷暗物质密度对比度的物理影响,推导了萨克斯-沃尔夫(Sachs-Wolfe)效应,并将其与幺模引力宇宙学扰动领域现有文献中的结果进行了对比。

英文摘要:

With focus on the cosmological evolution of linear perturbations of matter and geometry, we calculate the equivalent expressions to that of the Newtonian and Synchronous gauges within the framework of Unimodular Gravity, being these two gauges commonly used and implemented in Boltzmann codes. An important aspect of our analysis is the inclusion of the energy-momentum current violation, as well as its perturbations. Moreover, for the first time we demonstrate that it is possible to fix both gauges consistently, although as it has been already noticed in previous literature, neither of them is recovered in the sense of the dynamics given in General Relativity for matter and metric fluctuations. Specifically, we show that since the unimodular constraint at the level of linear perturbations lead to only one degree of freedom of scalar modes of metric fluctuations, the dynamics in Unimodular Gravity forces to keep the anisotropic stress in the Newtonian gauge, whereas the cold dark matter comoving frame can not be set in the Synchronous gauge. The physical implications on the density contrast of cold dark matter is reviewed, and the Sachs-Wolfe effect is obtained and compared with previous results in the literature of cosmological perturbations in Unimodular Gravity.
