Title: Stability and superluminality of spherical DBI Galileon solutions

Abstract

We showed that, when considered as local modifications to gravity, such as in the solar system, there exists a region of parameter space in which spherically symmetric static solutions to a particular class of modified gravity theories exist and are stable.

Stability and superluminality of spherical DBI Galileon solutions

Journal Article Goon, Garrett L ; Hinterbichler, Kurt ; Trodden, Mark - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) Galileons are a generalization of the Galileon terms, which extend the internal Galilean symmetry to an internal relativistic symmetry, and can also be thought of as generalizations of DBI which yield second order field equations. We show that, when considered as local modifications to gravity, such as in the Solar System, there exists a region of parameter space in which spherically symmetric static solutions exist and are stable. However, these solutions always exhibit superluminality, casting doubt on the existence of a standard Lorentz invariant UV completion.

Galileon as a local modification of gravity

Journal Article Nicolis, Alberto ; Rattazzi, Riccardo ; Trincherini, Enrico - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

In the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati (DGP) model, the 'self-accelerating' solution is plagued by a ghost instability, which makes the solution untenable. This fact, as well as all interesting departures from general relativity (GR), are fully captured by a four-dimensional effective Lagrangian, valid at distances smaller than the present Hubble scale. The 4D effective theory involves a relativistic scalar {pi}, universally coupled to matter and with peculiar derivative self-interactions. In this paper, we study the connection between self-acceleration and the presence of ghosts for a quite generic class of theories that modify gravity in the infrared. These theories are defined as those thatmore »« less

Spherical collapse in Galileon gravity: fifth force solutions, halo mass function and halo bias

Journal Article Barreira, Alexandre ; Li, Baojiu ; Baugh, Carlton M. ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We study spherical collapse in the Quartic and Quintic Covariant Galileon gravity models within the framework of the excursion set formalism. We derive the nonlinear spherically symmetric equations in the quasi-static and weak-field limits, focusing on model parameters that fit current CMB, SNIa and BAO data. We demonstrate that the equations of the Quintic model do not admit physical solutions of the fifth force in high density regions, which prevents the study of structure formation in this model. For the Quartic model, we show that the effective gravitational strength deviates from the standard value at late times (z∼<1), becoming largermore »« less

Spherically symmetric solutions of modified field equations in f(R) theories of gravity

Journal Article Multamaeki, T ; Vilja, I - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

Spherically symmetric static empty space solutions are studied in f(R) theories of gravity. We reduce the set of modified Einstein's equations to a single equation and show how one can construct exact solutions in different f(R) models. In particular, we show that for a large class models, including e.g. the f(R)=R-{mu}{sup 4}/R model, the Schwarzschild-de Sitter metric is an exact solution of the field equations. The significance of these solutions is discussed in light of solar system constraints on f(R) theories of gravity.

Static spherically symmetric solutions to modified Horava-Lifshitz gravity with a projectability condition

Journal Article Jinzhang, Tang ; Bin, Chen - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

In this paper we seek static spherically symmetric solutions of Horava-Lifshitz-like gravity with the projectability condition. We consider the most general form of gravity action without detailed balance, and require the spacetime metric to respect the projectability condition. We find that for any value of {lambda}, the solutions of topology RxM{sub 3} may exist, where R is the time direction and M{sub 3} is a three-dimensional maximally symmetric space depending on the value of cosmological constant and the potential of the action. Besides, in the UV region where {lambda}{ne}1, we find Minkowski or de Sitter spacetime as the solution, whilemore »« less
