Troubles for Unimodular Gravity
We compute the contribution of various gravitational instantons to the path integral in the standard formulation of unimodular gravity, an alternative theory of gravity where the determinant of the metric is not dynamical. Following similar computations in General Relativity, we derive the entropy/area ratio for cosmological and black hole horizons, finding in general disagreement with General ...
متن کاملMetric perturbations at reheating: the use of spherical symmetry
We consider decay of the inflaton with a quartic potential coupled to other fields, including gravity, but restricted to spherical symmetry. We describe analytically an early, quasilinear regime, during which inflaton fluctuations and the metric functions are driven by nonlinear effects of the decay products. We present a detailed study of the leading nonlinear effects in this regime. Results o...
متن کاملThe Vacuum Energy Density for Spherical and Cylindrical Universes
The vacuum energy density (Casimir energy) corresponding to a massless scalar quantum field living in different universes (mainly no-boundary ones), in several dimensions, is calculated. Hawking’s zeta function regularization procedure supplemented with a very simple binomial expansion is shown to be a rigorous and well suited method for performing the analysis. It is compared with other, much ...
متن کاملNo conformal anomaly in unimodular gravity
The conformal invariance of unimodular gravity survives quantum corrections, even in the presence of conformal matter. Unimodular gravity can actually be understood as a certain truncation of the full Einstein-Hilbert theory, where in the Einstein frame the metric tensor has unit determinant. Our result is compatible with the idea that the corresponding restriction in the functional integral is...
متن کاملVacuum Symmetry Breaking
We give a general SU(2)L × SU(2)R ×U(1)EM sigma model with external sources, dynamical breaking and spontaneous vacuum symmetry breaking, and present the general formulation of the model. It is found that σ and π without electric charges have electromagnetic interaction effects coming from their internal structure. A general Lorentz transformation relative to external sources Jgauge = (JAμ , JA...
