Particle Motion with Hořava – Lifshitz type Dispersion Relations
نویسنده
چکیده
Using super Hamiltonian formalism, we study the motion of particles whose dispersion relations are modified to incorporate Hořava – Lifshitz type anisotropic scaling symmetry. We find the following as consequences of this modified dispersion relation: (i) The speed of a charged particle under a constant electric field grows without bound and diverges. (ii) The speed of a particle falling towards the horizon also grows without bound and diverges as the particle approaches the horizon. (iii) This particle reaches the horizon in a finite coordinate time, in contrast to the standard case where it requires infinite time.

Hǒrava-Lifshitz Dark Energy
We formulate Hořava-Lifshitz cosmology with an additional scalar field that leads to an effective dark energy sector. We find that, due to the inherited features from the gravitational background, Hořava-Lifshitz dark energy naturally presents very interesting behaviors, possessing a varying equation-of-state parameter, exhibiting phantom behavior and allowing for a realization of the phantom d...
متن کاملGalaxy Rotation Curves in Covariant Hořava-Lifshitz Gravity
Using the multiplicity of solutions for the projectable case of the covariant extension of Hořava-Lifshitz gravity, we show that an appropriate choice for the auxiliary field allows for an effective description of galaxy rotation curves. This description is based on static and spherically symmetric solutions of covariant Hořava-Lifshitz gravity and does not require Dark Matter.
متن کاملA No-Go Theorem for Rotating Stars of a Perfect Fluid without Radial Motion in Projectable Horava–Lifshitz Gravity
Hořava–Lifshitz gravity has covariance only under the foliation-preserving diffeomorphism. This implies that the quantities on the constant-time hypersurfaces should be regular. In the original theory, the projectability condition, which strongly restricts the lapse function, is proposed. We assume that a star is filled with a perfect fluid with no-radial motion and that it has reflection symme...
متن کاملAsymptotic freedom in Hořava-Lifshitz gravity.
We use the Wetterich equation for foliated spacetimes to study the renormalization group flow of projectable Hořava-Lifshitz gravity coupled to n Lifshitz scalars. Using novel results for anisotropic heat kernels, the matter-induced beta functions for the gravitational couplings are computed explicitly. The renormalization group flow exhibits an UV attractive anisotropic Gaussian fixed point wh...
متن کاملSurplus Solid Angle: Toward Astrophysical Test of Hořava-Lifshitz Gravity
We consider electrostatic field of a point charge coupled to Hořava-Lifshitz gravity and find an exact solution describing the space with a surplus (or deficit) solid angle. Although, theoretically in general relativity, a surplus angle is hardly to be obtained in the presence of ordinary matter with positive energy distribution, it seems natural in Hořava-Lifshitz gravity. We present sudden di...
