Nonlinear interactions in a cosmological background in the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati braneworld

چکیده
We study quasistatic perturbations in a cosmological background in the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati braneworld model. We identify the Vainshtein radius at which the nonlinear interactions of the brane bending mode become important in a cosmological background. The Vainshtein radius in the early universe is much smaller than the one in the Minkowski background, but in a self-accelerating universe it is the same as the Minkowski background. Our result shows that the perturbative approach is applicable beyond the Vainshtein radius for weak gravity by taking into account the second-order effects of the brane bending mode. The linearized cosmological perturbations are shown to be smoothly matched to the solutions inside the Vainshtein radius. We emphasize the importance of imposing a regularity condition in the bulk by solving the 5D perturbations and we highlight the problem of ad hoc assumptions on the bulk gravity that lead to different conclusions.

Global Structure of Deffayet (Dvali–Gabadadze–Porrati) Cosmologies
We detail the global structure of the five-dimensional bulk for the cosmological evolution of Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati braneworlds. The picture articulated here provides a framework and intuition for understanding how metric perturbations leave (and possibly reenter) the brane universe. A bulk observer sees the braneworld as a relativistically expanding bubble, viewed either from the interior (i...
متن کاملScalar Perturbations in Dgp Braneworld Cosmology
We solve for the behaviour of cosmological perturbations in the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati (DGP) braneworld model using a new numerical method. Unlike some other approaches in the literature, our method uses no approximations other than linear theory and is valid on large scales. We examine the behaviour of late-universe density perturbations for both the self-accelerating and normal branches of D...
متن کاملSpin precession in the Dvali-Gabadadze- Porrati braneworld scenario
In this letter we work out the secular precession of the spin of a gyroscope in geodesic motion around a central mass in the framework of the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati multidimensional gravity model. Such an effect, which depends on the mass of the central body and on the orbit radius of the gyroscope, contrary to the precessions of the orbital elements of the orbit of a test body, is far too sma...
متن کاملSolar System planetary motions and modified gravity
According to the braneworld model of gravity by Dvali, Gabadadze and Porrati, our Universe is a four-dimensional space-time brane embedded in a larger, infinite five-dimensional bulk space. Contrary to the other forces constrained to remain on the brane, gravity is able to explore the entire bulk getting substantially modified at large distances. This model has not only cosmological consequence...
