Cosmological perturbations from stochastic gravity
In inflationary cosmological models driven by an inflaton field the origin of the primordial inhomogeneities which are responsible for large-scale structure formation are the quantum fluctuations of the inflaton field. These are usually calculated using the standard theory of cosmological perturbations, where both the gravitational and the inflaton fields are linearly perturbed and quantized. T...
متن کاملCosmological Perturbations and Non-Gaussianities in Hořava-Lifshitz Gravity
We investigate cosmological perturbations and non-gaussianities in Hořava-Lifshitz theory of gravitation. In the UV limit, the scalar perturbation in Hořava theory is naturally scale-invariant, ignoring the details of the expansion of the universe. Thus one may relax the exponential inflation and the slow-roll conditions for the inflaton field. Moreover, in the absence of slow-roll conditions, ...
متن کاملInstability in cosmological topologically massive gravity at the chiral point
We demonstrate that cosmological topologically massive gravity at the chiral point exhibits a negative energy bulk mode that grows linearly in time. Unless there are physical reasons to discard this mode, this theory is unstable. To address this issue we prove that the mode is not pure gauge and that its negative energy is time-independent and finite. The isometry generators L0 and L̄0 have non-...
متن کاملCosmological perturbations in a gravity with quadratic order curvature couplings
where Lm is the matter part Lagrangian. The gravitational field equation is presented in Eq. (2) of [1]. The oneloop order quantum correction generically leads to curvature-square terms, and due to Gauss-Bonnet theorem the two terms in Eq. (1) completely account such corrections, [3]. In the literature, many works analyzed the roles of R term in the context of cosmological structure formation, ...
متن کاملGalileons coupled to massive gravity: general analysis and cosmological solutions
We further develop the framework for coupling galileons and Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) scalar fields to a massive graviton while retaining both the non-linear symmetries of the scalars and ghost-freedom of the theory. The general construction is recast in terms of vielbeins which simplifies calculations and allows for compact expressions. Expressions for the general form of the action are derived,...
