Cosmological 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 کاملCosmological 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 on local systems
We study the effect of cosmological expansion on orbits–galactic, planetary, or atomic–subject to an inverse-square force law. We obtain the laws of motion for gravitational or electrical interactions from general relativity–in particular, we find the gravitational field of a mass distribution in an expanding universe by applying perturbation theory to the Robertson-Walker metric. Cosmological ...
متن کاملNon-Local Modification of Gravity and the Cosmological Constant Problem
We propose a phenomenological approach to the cosmological constant problem based on generally covariant non-local and acausal modifications of four-dimensional gravity at enormous distances. The effective Newton constant becomes very small at large length scales, so that sources with immense wavelengths and periods — such as the vacuum energy— produce miniscule curvature. Conventional astrophy...
متن کاملCosmological Constant and Local Gravity
We discuss the linearization of Einstein equations in the presence of a cosmological constant, by expanding the solution for the metric around a flat Minkowski space-time. We demonstrate that one can find consistent solutions to the linearized set of equations for the metric perturbations, in the Lorentz gauge, which are not spherically symmetric, but they rather exhibit a cylindrical symmetry....
