Asymptotic freedom in Hořava-Lifshitz gravity.
We use the Wetterich equation for foliated spacetimes to study the renormalization group flow of projectable Hořava-Lifshitz gravity coupled to n Lifshitz scalars. Using novel results for anisotropic heat kernels, the matter-induced beta functions for the gravitational couplings are computed explicitly. The renormalization group flow exhibits an UV attractive anisotropic Gaussian fixed point wh...
متن کاملStationary axisymmetric and slowly rotating spacetimes in Hořava-Lifshitz gravity.
Stationary, axisymmetric, and slowly rotating vacuum spacetimes in the Hořava-Lifshitz (HL) gravity are studied, and it is shown that, for any given spherical static vacuum solution of the HL theory (of any model, including the ones with an additional U(1) symmetry), there always exists a corresponding slowly rotating, stationary, and axisymmetric vacuum solution, which reduces to the former, w...
متن کاملParticle Motion with Hořava – Lifshitz type Dispersion Relations
Using super Hamiltonian formalism, we study the motion of particles whose dispersion relations are modified to incorporate Hořava – Lifshitz type anisotropic scaling symmetry. We find the following as consequences of this modified dispersion relation: (i) The speed of a charged particle under a constant electric field grows without bound and diverges. (ii) The speed of a particle falling toward...
متن کاملThe dynamical viability of scalar-tensor gravity theories
We establish the dynamical attractor behavior in scalar-tensor theories of dark energy, providing a powerful framework to analyze classes of theories, predicting common evolutionary characteristics that can be compared against cosmological constraints. In the Jordan frame the theories are viewed as a coupling between a scalar field, Φ, and the Ricci scalar, R, F (Φ)R. The Jordan frame evolution...
متن کاملScalar-tensor Gravity Theory for Dynamical Light Velocity
A gravity theory is developed with the metric ĝμν = gμν+B∂μφ∂νφ. In the present universe the additional contribution from the scalar field in the metric ĝμν can generate an acceleration in the expansion of the universe, without negative pressure and with a zero cosmological constant. In this theory, gravitational waves will propagate at a different speed from non-gravitational waves. It is sugg...
