Revealing Infinite Derivative Gravity’s true potential: The weak-field limit around de Sitter backgrounds
General Relativity is known to produce singularities in the potential generated by a point source. Our universe can be modelled as a de Sitter (dS) metric and we show that ghost-free Infinite Derivative Gravity (IDG) produces a non-singular potential around a dS background, while returning to the GR prediction at large distances. We also show that although there are an apparently infinite numbe...
متن کاملTesting Weak-Field Gravity
One of the most important problems in science today is the origin of \dark matter". Much of our understanding of the history and present state of the universe depends upon conjectures about the nature of dark matter. In some sense, our knowledge rests upon a \house of cards" which won't be buttressed until progress is made in identifying what dark matter represents. Most research today is found...
متن کاملWeak-field gravity of circular cosmic strings.
A weak-field solution of Einstein’s equations is constructed. It is generated by a circular cosmic string externally supported against collapse. The solution exhibits a conical singularity, and the corresponding deficit angle is the same as for a straight string of the same linear energy density. This confirms the deficit-angle assumption made in the Frolov-Israel-Unruh derivation of the metric...
متن کاملAn Einstein-like theory of gravity with a non-newtonian weak-field limit
We propose a model describing Einstein gravity coupled to a scalar field with an exponential potential. We show that the weak-field limit of the model has static solutions given by a gravitational potential behaving for large distances as ln r. The Newtonian term GM/r appears only as subleading. Our model can be used to give a phenomenological explanation of the rotation curves of the galaxies ...
متن کاملNewtonian Potential and Geodesic Completeness in Infinite Derivative Gravity
Recent study has shown that a non-singular oscillating potential – a feature of Infinite Derivative Gravity (IDG) theories – matches current experimental data better than the standard GR potential. In this work we show that this non-singular oscillating potential can be given by a wider class of theories which allows the defocusing of null rays, and therefore geodesic completeness. We consolida...
