Title: Scalar gravitational waves in the effective theory of gravity

Abstract

As a low energy effective field theory, classical General Relativity receives an infrared relevant modification from the conformal trace anomaly of the energy-momentum tensor of massless, or nearly massless, quantum fields. The local form of the effective action associated with the trace anomaly is expressed in terms of a dynamical scalar field that couples to the conformal factor of the spacetime metric, allowing it to propagate over macroscopic distances. Linearized around flat spacetime, this semi-classical EFT admits scalar gravitational wave solutions in addition to the transversely polarized tensor waves of the classical Einstein theory. The amplitude of the scalar wave modes, as well as their energy and energy flux which are positive and contain a monopole moment, are computed. As a result, astrophysical sources for scalar gravitational waves are considered, with the excited gluonic condensates in the interiors of neutron stars in merger events with other compact objects likely to provide the strongest burst signals.

The trace anomaly and dynamical vacuum energy in cosmology

Journal Article Mottola, Emil - International Journal of Modern Physics A

The trace anomaly of conformal matter implies the existence of massless scalar poles in physical amplitudes involving the stress-energy tensor. These poles may be described by a local effective action with massless scalar fields, which couple to classical sources, contribute to gravitational scattering processes, and can have long range gravitational effects at macroscopic scales. In an effective field theory approach, the effective action of the anomaly is an infrared relevant term that should be added to the Einstein-Hilbert action of classical General Relativity to take account of macroscopic quantum effects. The additional scalar degrees of freedom contained in this effectivemore »« less

Trace anomaly and massless scalar degrees of freedom in gravity

The trace anomaly of quantum fields in electromagnetic or gravitational backgrounds implies the existence of massless scalar poles in physical amplitudes involving the stress-energy tensor. Considering first the axial anomaly and using QED as an example, we compute the full one-loop triangle amplitude of the fermionic stress tensor with two current vertices, <T{sup {mu}}{sup {nu}}J{sup {alpha}}J{sup {beta}}>, and exhibit the scalar pole in this amplitude associated with the trace anomaly, in the limit of zero electron mass m{yields}0.

Macroscopic effects of the quantum trace anomaly

Journal Article Mottola, Emil ; Vaulin, Ruslan ; Department of Physics Florida Atlantic University 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33431 - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The low energy effective action of gravity in any even dimension generally acquires nonlocal terms associated with the trace anomaly, generated by the quantum fluctuations of massless fields. The local auxiliary field description of this effective action in four dimensions requires two additional scalar fields, not contained in classical general relativity, which remain relevant at macroscopic distance scales. The auxiliary scalar fields depend upon boundary conditions for their complete specification, and therefore carry global information about the geometry and macroscopic quantum state of the gravitational field. The scalar potentials also provide coordinate invariant order parameters describing the conformal behavior andmore »« less

Gravitational vacuum polarization around static spherical stars

Journal Article Hiscock, W A - Phys. Rev. D; (United States)

The gravitational vacuum polarization of conformally coupled quantum fields in the spacetime of a uniform-density, static, spherical star is studied using the approximation developed by Page, Brown, and Ottewill. Approximate vacuum stress-energy tensors are calculated for conformal massless scalar, spinor, and vector fields; in the case of vector fields, both dimensionally regularized and zeta-function results are given. Explicit algebraic forms for the stress-energy tensors are given for the interior of the star and for the exterior Schwarzschild region. If the vacuum stress energy is to be conserved and have the correct trace anomaly at the surface of the star, itmore »« less
