Nonlocal action for long - distance modifications of gravity theory
We construct the covariant nonlocal action for recently suggested long-distance modifications of gravity theory motivated by the cosmological constant and cos-mological acceleration problems. This construction is based on the special non-local form of the Einstein-Hilbert action explicitly revealing the fact that this action within the covariant curvature expansion begins with curvature-squared...
متن کاملLong distance modifications of gravity in four dimensions.
Models of this kind have been proposed as a way to generate late time acceleration without a cosmological constant1. For this to work the crossover scale has to be of the order of today’s Hubble constant: μ ∼ H0. In the Friedmann equation obtained for these theories, the modification then only becomes important at the present stage of the expansion of the Universe. Obviously the detailed predic...
متن کاملAstronomical constraints on some long-range models of modified gravity
In this paper we use the corrections to the usual Newton-Einstein secular precessions of the perihelia of the inner planets of the Solar System, phenomenologically estimated as solve-for parameters by the Russian astronomer E.V. Pitjeva by fitting almost one century of data with the EPM2004 ephemerides, in order to constrain some long-range models of modified gravity recently put forth to addre...
متن کاملThe Astronomical Units
The IAU-1976 System of astronomical constants includes three astronomical units (i.e. for time, mass and length). This paper reports on the status of the astronomical unit of length (ua) and mass (MSun) within the context of the recent IAU Resolutions on reference systems and the use of modern observations in the solar system. We especially look at a possible re-definition of the ua as an astro...
متن کاملModifications of gravity.
General relativity (GR) is a phenomenologically successful theory that rests on firm foundations, but has not been tested on cosmological scales. The deep mystery of dark energy (and possibly even the requirement of cold dark matter (CDM)) has increased the need for testing modifications to GR, as the inference of such otherwise undetected fluids depends crucially on the theory of gravity. Here...
