Abstract

We study spherically symmetric static spacetimes generally filled with an anisotropic fluid in the nonrelativistic general covariant theory of gravity. In particular, we find that the vacuum solutions are not unique, and can be expressed in terms of the U(1) gauge field A. When solar system tests are considered, severe constraints on A are obtained, which seemingly pick up the Schwarzschild solution uniquely. In contrast to other versions of the Horava-Lifshitz theory, non-singular static stars made of a perfect fluid without heat flow can be constructed, due to the coupling of the fluid with the gauge field. These include the solutions with a constant pressure. We also study the general junction conditions across the surface of a star. In general, the conditions allow the existence of a thin matter shell on the surface. When applying these conditions to the perfect fluid solutions with the vacuum ones as describing their external spacetimes, we find explicitly the matching conditions in terms of the parameters appearing in the solutions. Such matching is possible even without the presence of a thin matter shell.

Black holes and stars in the Horava-Lifshitz theory with the projectability condition

Journal Article Greenwald, Jared ; Anzhong, Wang ; Papazoglou, Antonios - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We systematically study spherically symmetric static spacetimes filled with a fluid in the Horava-Lifshitz theory of gravity with the projectability condition, but without the detailed balance. We establish that when the spacetime is spatially Ricci flat the unique vacuum solution is the de Sitter Schwarzshcild solution, while when the spacetime has a nonzero constant curvature, there exist two different vacuum solutions; one is an (Einstein) static universe, and the other is a new spacetime. This latter spacetime is maximally symmetric and not flat. We find all the perfect fluid solutions for such spacetimes, in addition to a class of anisotropicmore »« less

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

Stellar center is dynamical in Horava-Lifshitz gravity

Journal Article Izumi, Keisuke ; Mukohyama, Shinji - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

In Horava-Lifshitz gravity, regularity of a solution requires smoothness of not only the spacetime geometry but also the foliation. As a result, the regularity condition at the center of a star is more restrictive than in general relativity. Assuming that the energy density is a piecewise-continuous, non-negative function of the pressure and that the pressure at the center is positive, we prove that the momentum conservation law is incompatible with the regularity at the center for any spherically symmetric, static configurations. The proof is totally insensitive to the structure of higher spatial curvature terms and, thus, holds for any valuesmore »« less

Stability, ghost, and strong coupling in nonrelativistic general covariant theory of gravity with {lambda}{ne}1

Journal Article Yongqing, Huang ; Anzhong, Wang - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

In this paper, we investigate three important issues: stability, ghost, and strong coupling, in the Horava-Melby-Thompson setup of the Horava-Lifshitz theory with {lambda}{ne}1, generalized recently by da Silva. We first develop the general linear scalar perturbations of the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe with arbitrary spatial curvature and find that an immediate by-product of the setup is that, in all the inflationary models described by a scalar field, the FRW universe is necessarily flat. Applying them to the case of the Minkowski background, we find that it is stable, and, similar to the case {lambda}=1, the spin-0 graviton is eliminated. The vectormore »« less

Spherically symmetric solutions in covariant Horava-Lifshitz gravity

Journal Article Alexandre, Jean ; Pasipoularides, Pavlos - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We study the most general case of spherically symmetric vacuum solutions in the framework of the covariant Horava-Lifshitz gravity, for an action that includes all possible higher order terms in curvature which are compatible with power-counting normalizability requirement. We find that solutions can be separated into two main classes: (i) solutions with nonzero radial shift function, and (ii) solutions with zero radial shift function. In the case (ii), spherically symmetric solutions are consistent with observations if we adopt the view of Horava and Melby-Tomson [P. Horava and C. M. Melby-Thompson, Phys. Rev. D 82, 064027 (2010).], according to which themore »« less
