Why alternative gravity theories?

Dark Energy

Dark Matter

Inflation

Big Bang

“Singularity”

Three conditions for good

alternative theories of gravity(my personal viewpoint)

1. Theoretically consistent

e.g. no ghost instability

2. Experimentally viable

solar system / table top experiments

3. Predictable

e.g. protected by symmetry

Page 4: Nonlinear massive gravity and Cosmologyseminar/pdf_2014_kouki/141028Mukohyama.pdfquasidilaton theory has ghost instability [Gumrukcuoglu, Hinterbichler, Lin, Mukohyama, Trodden 2013;

Some examplesI. Ghost condensation

IR modification of gravitymotivation: dark energy/matter

II. Nonlinear massive gravityIR modification of gravitymotivation: “Can graviton have mass?”

III. Horava-Lifshitz gravityUV modification of gravitymotivation: quantum gravity

IV. Superstring theoryUV modification of gravitymotivation: quantum gravity, unified theory

A motivation for IR modification

• Gravity at long distances

Flattening galaxy rotation curves

extra gravity

Dimming supernovae

accelerating universe

• Usual explanation: new forms of matter

(DARK MATTER) and energy (DARK

ENERGY).

Dark component in the solar system?

Precession of perihelion

observed in 1800’s…

But the right answer wasn’t “dark planet”, it was “change gravity” from Newton to GR.

which people tried to

explain with a “dark

planet”, Vulcan, Mercury

Massive gravity: history

Simple question: Can graviton have mass?

May lead to acceleration without dark energy

Linear massive gravity (Fierz-Pauli 1939)

• Simple question: Can spin-2 field have mass?

• L = LEH[h] + mg2[hmrhnshmnhrs-(hmnhmn)

2]gmn = hmn + hmn

• Unique linear theory without ghosts

• Broken diffeomorphism no momentum constraint 5 d.o.f. (2 tensor + 2 vector + 1 scalar)

vDVZ vs Vainshtein

• van Dam-Veltman-Zhakharov (1970)Massless limit ≠ Massless theory = GR5 d.o.f remain PPN parameter g = ½ ≠ 1

• Vainshtein (1972)Linear theory breaks down in the limit.Nonlinear analysis shows continuity and GR is recovered @ r < rV=(rg/mg

4)1/5 .Continuity is not uniform w.r.t. distance.

Nonlinear massive gravityde Rham, Gabadadze 2010

de Rham, Gabadadze & Tolley 2010

• First example of fully nonlinear massive

gravity without BD ghost since 1972!

• Purely classical (but technically natural)

• Properties of 5 d.o.f. depend on background

• 4 scalar fields fa (a=0,1,2,3)

• Poincare symmetry in the field space:

No FLRW universe?D’Amico, de Rham, Dubovsky, Gabadadze, Pirtshalava, Tolley (2011)

• Flat FLRW ansatz in “Unitary gauge”gmndxmdxn = -N2(t)dt2 + a2(t)(dx2+dy2+dz2)fa = xa fmn = hmn

• Bianchi “identity” a(t) = const.c.f.

no non-trivial flat FLRW cosmology

• “Our conclusions on the absence of the homogeneous and isotropic solutions do not change if we allow for a more general maximally symmetric 3-space”

• Pure gravity + bare cc FLRW sol = de Sitter

• Bianchi I universe with axisymmetry + linear perturbation (without decoupling limit)

• Small anisotropy expansion of Bianchi I + linear perturbation nonlinear perturbation around flat FLRW

• Odd-sector: 1 healthy mode + 1 healthy or ghosty mode

• Even-sector: 2 healthy modes + 1 ghosty mode

• This is not BD ghost nor Higuchi ghost.
