Nonlocal cosmology.
We explore nonlocally modified models of gravity, inspired by quantum loop corrections, as a mechanism for explaining current cosmic acceleration. These theories enjoy two major advantages: they allow a delayed response to cosmic events, here the transition from radiation to matter dominance, and they avoid the usual level of fine-tuning; instead, emulating Dirac's dictum, the required large nu...
متن کاملNonlocal teleparallel cosmology
Even though it is not possible to differentiate general relativity from teleparallel gravity using classical experiments, it could be possible to discriminate between them by quantum gravitational effects. These effects have motivated the introduction of nonlocal deformations of general relativity, and similar effects are also expected to occur in teleparallel gravity. Here, we study nonlocal d...
متن کاملNonlocal Effective Field Equations for Quantum Cosmology
The possibility that the strength of gravitational interactions might slowly increase with distance, is explored by formulating a set of effective field equations, which incorporate the gravitational, vacuum-polarization induced, running of Newton’s constant G. The resulting long distance (or large time) behaviour depends on only one adjustable parameter ξ, and the implications for the Robertso...
متن کاملReconstructing the Distortion Function for Nonlocal Cosmology
We consider the cosmology of modified gravity models in which Newton’s constant is distorted by a function of the inverse d’Alembertian acting on the Ricci scalar. We derive a technique for choosing the distortion function so as to fit an arbitrary expansion history. This technique is applied numerically to the case of ΛCDM cosmology, and the result agrees well with a simple hyperbolic tangent....
متن کاملExact Solutions for Nonlocal Nonlinear Field Equations in Cosmology
A method for the search of exact solutions for equation of a nonlocal scalar field in a non-flat metric is considered. In the Friedmann–Robertson–Walker metric the proposed method can be used in the case of an arbitrary potential, with the exception of linear and quadratic potentials, and allows to get in quadratures solutions, which depend on two arbitrary parameters. Exact solutions have been...
