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 کاملNonminimal Derivative Couplings and Inflation in Generalized Theories of Gravity
We study extended theories of gravity where nonminimal derivative couplings of the form Rφ, kφ, l are present in the Lagrangian. We show how and why the other couplings of similar structure may be ruled out and then deduce the field equations and the related cosmological models. Finally, we get inflationary solutions which do follow neither from any effective scalar field potential nor from a c...
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 کاملMass Inflation in Quantum Gravity
Using the canonical formalism for spherically symmetric black hole inside the apparent horizon we investigate the mass inflation in the Reissner-Nordström black hole in the framework of quantum gravity. It is shown that like in classical gravity the combination of the effects of the influx coming from the past null infinity and the outflux backscattered by the black hole’s curvature causes the ...
متن کاملGravity Driven Inflation
The union of high-energy particle theories and gravitation often gives rise to an evolving strength of gravity. The standard picture of the earliest universe would certainly deserve revision if the Planck mass, which de nes the strength of gravity, varied. A notable consequence is a gravity-driven, kinetic in ation. Unlike standard in ation, there is no potential nor cosmological constant. The ...
