A longitudinal component in massive gravitational waves arising from a bimetric theory of gravity
نویسنده
چکیده
After a brief review of the work of de Paula, Miranda and Marinho on massive gravitational waves arising from a bimetric theory of gravity, in this paper it is shown that the presence of the mass generates a longitudinal component in a particular polarization of the wave. The effect of this polarization on test masses is performed using the geodesic deviation. A the end of this paper the detectability of this particular polarization is also discussed, showing that its angular dependence could, in principle, discriminate such polarization with respect the two ones of general relativity, if present or future detectors will achieve a high sensitivity.

On the longitudinal response function of interferometers for massive gravitational waves from a bimetric theory of gravity
Recently, some papers in the literature have shown that, from a bimetric theory of gravity, it is possible to produce massive gravitational waves which generate a longitudinal component in a particular polarization of the wave. After a review of previous works, in this paper the longitudinal response function of interferometers for this particular polarization of the wave is computed in two dif...
متن کاملSpherically Symmetric Solutions in a New Braneworld Massive Gravity Theory
In this paper, a combination of the braneworld scenario and covariant de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) massive Gravity theory is proposed. In this setup, the five-dimensional bulk graviton is considered to be massive. The five dimensional nonlinear ghost-free massive gravity theory affects the 3-brane dynamics and the gravitational potential on the brane. Following the solutions with spherical s...
متن کاملFluctuation Spectrum from a Scalar-Tensor Bimetric Gravity Theory
Predictions of the CMB spectrum from a bimetric gravity theory (BGT) [1] are presented. The initial inflationary period in BGT is driven by a vanishingly small speed of gravitational waves vg in the very early universe. This initial inflationary period is insensitive to the choice of scalar field potential and initial values of the scalar field. After this initial period of inflation, vg will i...
متن کاملMassive gravitational waves from the Cosmic Defect theory
The Cosmic Defect theory (CD), which is presented elsewhere in this conference, introduces in the standard Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian an elastic term accounting for the strain of space-time viewed as a four-dimensional physical continuum. In this framework the Ricci scalar acts as the kinetical term of the strain field whose potential is represented by the additional terms. Here we are present...
متن کاملInterferometric detection of gravitational waves arising from extended theories of gravity
Even if Einstein’s General Relativity achieved a great success and overcame lots of experimental tests, it also showed some shortcomings and flaws which today advise theorists to ask if it is the definitive theory of gravity. In this letter Proceeding we show that, by assuming that advanced projects on the detection of Gravitational Waves (GWs) will improve their sensitivity, allowing to perfor...
