Inhomogeneous preinflation across Hubble scales in full general relativity

چکیده
We use the 3+1 formalism of numerical relativity to investigate robustness Starobinsky and Higgs inflation inhomogeneous initial conditions, in form either field gradient or kinetic energy density. Sub-Hubble Hubble-sized fluctuations generically lead after an oscillatory phase between energies. inhomogeneities also produce contracting regions that may end up forming primordial black holes, subsequently diluted by inflation. analyse dynamics preinflation era generation vector tensor fluctuations. Our analysis further supports any size inhomogeneity, field, velocity equation state. At large values, only marginally depends on potential it is expected such behaviour universal applies plateau-type, favoured CMB observations Planck.

Tests of General Relativity on Astrophysical Scales
While tested to a high level of accuracy in the Solar system, general relativity is under the spotlight of both theoreticians and observers on larger scales, mainly because of the need to introduce dark matter and dark energy in the cosmological model. This text reviews the main tests of general relativity focusing on the large scale structure and more particularly weak lensing. The complementa...
متن کاملCovariant coarse graining of inhomogeneous dust flow in general relativity
A new definition of coarse-grained quantities describing the dust flow in general relativity is proposed. It assigns the coarse-grained expansion, shear and vorticity to finite-size comoving domains of fluid in a covariant, coordinate-independent manner. The coarse-grained quantities are all quasilocal functionals, depending only on the geometry of the boundary of the considered domain. They ca...
متن کاملTime scales in the context of general relativity.
Towards 1967, the accuracy of caesium frequency standards reached such a level that the relativistic effect could not be ignored anymore. Corrections began to be applied for the gravitational frequency shift and for distant time comparisons. However, these corrections were not applied to an explicit theoretical framework. Only in 1991 did the International Astronomical Union provide metrics (th...
متن کاملTesting general relativity: from local to cosmological scales.
I summarize various tests of general relativity on astrophysical scales, based on the large-scale structure of the universe but also on other systems, in particular the constants of physics. I emphasize the importance of hypotheses on the geometric structures of our universe while performing such tests and discuss their complementarity as well as their possible extensions.
متن کاملAmbiguous Tests of General Relativity on Cosmological Scales
There are a number of approaches to testing General Relativity (GR) on linear scales using parameterized frameworks for modifying cosmological perturbation theory. It is sometimes assumed that the details of any given parameterization are unimportant if one uses it as a diagnostic for deviations from GR. In this brief report we argue that this is not necessarily so. First we show that adopting ...
