Gauge-invariant Formulation of the Second-order Cosmological Perturbations
نویسنده
چکیده
Gauge invariant treatments of the second order cosmological perturbation in a four dimensional homogeneous isotropic universe filled with the perfect fluid are completely formulated without any gauge fixing. We derive all components of the Einstein equations in the case where the first order vector and tensor modes are negligible. These equations imply that the tensor and the vector mode of the second order metric perturbations may be generated by the scalar-scalar mode coupling of the linear order perturbations as the result of the non-linear effects of the Einstein equations.

Short note on second-order gauge-invariant cosmological perturbation theory
The second order perturbations in Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe filled with a perfect fluid are completely formulated in the gauge invariant manner without any gauge fixing. All components of the Einstein equations are derived neglecting the first order vector and tensor modes. These equations imply that the tensor and the vector mode of the second order metric perturbations may be genera...
متن کاملEvolution of second-order cosmological perturbations
We present a method for constructing gauge-invariant cosmological perturbations which are gaugeinvariant up to second order. As an example we give the gauge-invariant definition of the second order curvature perturbation on uniform density hypersurfaces. Using only the energy conservation equation we show that this curvature perturbation is conserved at second order on large scales for adiabati...
متن کاملInclusion of the first-order vector- and tensor-modes in the second-order gauge-invariant cosmological perturbation theory
Gauge-invariant treatments of the second-order cosmological perturbation in a four dimensional homogeneous isotropic universe are formulated without any gauge fixing. We have derived the Einstein equations in the case of the single perfect fluid without ignoring any modes. These equations imply that any types of mode-coupling arise due to the second-order effects of the Einstein equations. The ...
متن کاملPerturbations of Matter Fields in the Second-order Gauge-invariant Cosmological Perturbation Theory
Some formulae for the perturbations of the matter fields are summarized within the framework of the second-order gauge-invariant cosmological perturbation theory in a four dimensional homogeneous isotropic universe, which is developed in the papers [K. Nakamura, Prog. Theor. Phys. 117 (2007), 17.]. We derive the formulae for the perturbations of the energy momentum tensors and equations of moti...
متن کاملcosmological density fluctuations and gravity waves: a covariant approach to gauge-invariant non-linear perturbation theory
We present a new approach to gauge-invariant cosmological perturbations at second order, which is also covariant. We examine two cases in particular for a dust Friedman-Lemâıtre-RobertsonWalker model of any curvature: we investigate gravity waves generated from clustering matter, that is, induced tensor modes from scalar modes; and we discuss the generation of density fluctuations induced by gr...
