Cosmological perturbations from stochastic gravity
In inflationary cosmological models driven by an inflaton field the origin of the primordial inhomogeneities which are responsible for large-scale structure formation are the quantum fluctuations of the inflaton field. These are usually calculated using the standard theory of cosmological perturbations, where both the gravitational and the inflaton fields are linearly perturbed and quantized. T...
متن کاملThe quantization of unimodular gravity and the cosmological constant problems
A quantization of unimodular gravity is described, which results in a quantum effective action which is also unimodular, ie a function of a metric with fixed determinant. A consequence is that contributions to the energy momentum tensor of the form of gabC , where C is a spacetime constant, whether classical or quantum, are not sources of curvature in the equations of motion derived from the qu...
متن کاملCosmological perturbations in a gravity with quadratic order curvature couplings
where Lm is the matter part Lagrangian. The gravitational field equation is presented in Eq. (2) of [1]. The oneloop order quantum correction generically leads to curvature-square terms, and due to Gauss-Bonnet theorem the two terms in Eq. (1) completely account such corrections, [3]. In the literature, many works analyzed the roles of R term in the context of cosmological structure formation, ...
متن کاملCosmological Perturbations and Non-Gaussianities in Hořava-Lifshitz Gravity
We investigate cosmological perturbations and non-gaussianities in Hořava-Lifshitz theory of gravitation. In the UV limit, the scalar perturbation in Hořava theory is naturally scale-invariant, ignoring the details of the expansion of the universe. Thus one may relax the exponential inflation and the slow-roll conditions for the inflaton field. Moreover, in the absence of slow-roll conditions, ...
متن کاملUnimodular relativity and cosmological constant
Unimodular relativity is a theory of gravity and space–time with a fixed absolute space–time volume element, the modulus, which we suppose is proportional to the number of microscopic modules in that volume element. In general relativity an arbitrary fixed measure can be imposed as a gauge condition, while in unimodular relativity it is determined by the events in the volume. Since this seems t...
