Testing gravity to second post-Newtonian order: A field-theory approach.
A new, field-theory-based framework for discussing and interpreting experimental tests of relativistic gravity, notably at the second post-Newtonian (2PN) level, is introduced. Contrary to previous frameworks which attempted at parametrizing any conceivable phenomenological deviation from general relativity, we focus on the most general class of gravity models of the type suggested by unified t...
متن کاملSecond post-Newtonian approximation of scalar-tensor theory of gravity
Deep space laser ranging missions like ASTROD I (Single-Spacecraft Astrodynamical Space Test of Relativity using Optical Devices) and ASTROD, together with astrometry missions like GAIA and LATOR will be able to test relativistic gravity to an unprecedented level of accuracy. More precisely, these missions will enable us to test relativistic gravity to 10−7−10−9 of the size of relativistic (pos...
متن کاملRadiation reaction at 3.5 post-Newtonian order in effective field theory
We derive the radiation reaction forces on a compact binary inspiral through 3.5 order in the postNewtonian expansion using the effective field theory approach. We utilize a recent formulation of Hamilton’s variational principle that rigorously extends the usual Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms to dissipative systems, including the inspiral of a compact binary from the emission of gravitat...
متن کاملTesting post-Newtonian theory with gravitational wave observations
The Laser Interferometric Space Antenna (LISA) will observe supermassive black hole binary mergers with amplitude signal-to-noise ratio of several thousands. We investigate the extent to which such observations afford high-precision tests of Einstein’s gravity. We show that LISA provides a unique opportunity to probe the non-linear structure of post-Newtonian theory both in the context of gener...
متن کاملPost-Newtonian expansion for Gauss-Bonnet Gravity
The observed late time accelerated expansion of the universe [1] combined with the problems that arise when trying to rationalize it with the simplest of explanations, such as a cosmological constant [2], have triggered an increased interest in finding alternatives for the nature of dark energy. Scalar fields, widely used in the inflationary paradigm [3], constitute a familiar way of providing ...
