摘要:

Rastall理论最初于1972年提出,暗示了对通常守恒定律的破坏。我们考虑了Rastall理论的两种推广:Brans-Dicke-Rastall理论和新建立的标量-张量-Rastall理论,后者是前者的进一步推广。本文研究了这两种推广理论在不同参数空间下的场方程,并随后重点研究了引力波的偏振模式。结果表明,Brans-Dicke-Rastall理论中引力波的偏振模式与Brans-Dicke理论中的相同;具体而言,两种理论均展现出plus、cross和breathing模式。然而,在标量-张量-Rastall理论中,引力波的偏振模式取决于该理论的参数空间。特别地,在参数空间的较大范围内,无论参数取某些特殊值与否,它仅允许两个张量模式,正如广义相对论中那样,而不引入任何额外的自由度。这表明Rastall理论提供了一种构建修正引力理论的新方法,使得仅传播两个张量自由度。在参数空间的其余区域,除两个张量模式外,还存在一个标量模式。根据参数空间的不同,该标量模式可以是breathing和longitudinal模式的混合,也可以是纯breathing模式。这些结果将在通过未来的引力波探测项目(如LISA、太极和天琴)约束理论参数方面发挥关键作用。

英文摘要:

Rastall theory, originally introduced in 1972, suggests a violation of the usual conservation law. We consider two generalizations of Rastall theory: Brans-Dicke-Rastall theory and the newly established scalar-tensor-Rastall theory, the latter being a further generalization of the former. The field equations in these two generalized theories are studied across different parameter spaces, and the polarization modes of gravitational waves, as a key focus, are subsequently investigated. The results show that the polarization modes of gravitational waves in Brans-Dicke-Rastall theory are the same as those in Brans-Dicke theory; specifically, both theories exhibit the plus, cross, and breathing modes. However, in scalar-tensor-Rastall theory, the polarization modes of gravitational waves depend on the parameter space of the theory. Particularly, over a broad range of the parameter space, regardless of some special values of the parameters, it allows only two tensor modes, just as in general relativity, without introducing any additional degrees of freedom. This indicates that Rastall theory offers a novel approach to constructing modified gravity theories that propagate only two tensor degrees of freedom. In the remaining regions of the parameter space, there is also one scalar mode in addition to the two tensor modes. The scalar mode can be either a mixture of the breathing and longitudinal modes or just a pure breathing mode, depending on the parameter space. These results will play a crucial role in constraining the theoretical parameters through future gravitational wave detection projects, such as LISA, Taiji, and TianQin.
