1. Causality and the initial value problem in Modified Gravity

Author: Papallo, Giuseppe and Reall, Harvey
Subjects: 530.11, general relativity, modified gravity, alternative theories of gravity, theoretical physics
Abstract: Lovelock and Horndeski theories are natural generalisations of Einstein’s theory of General Relativity. They find applications in Astrophysics, Cosmology and String Theory. This dissertation discusses some issues regarding the mathematical consistency of these theories. In the first part of the thesis we study the Shapiro time delay for gravitons in spherically symmetric spacetimes in Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet gravity (a Lovelock theory). In Lovelock theories, gravitons can propagate faster or slower than light. We show that, thanks to this property, it is possible for them to experience a negative time delay. It was recently argued that this feature could be employed to construct closed causal curves, implying that the theory should be discarded as causally pathological. We show that this construction is unphysical, for it cannot be realised as the evolution of sensible initial data. The second part investigates the local well-posedness of the initial value problem for Lovelock and Horndeski theories. For the initial value problem to be well-posed it is necessary that the equations of motion be strongly hyperbolic. It is known that when the background fields are large, even weak hyperbolicity may fail. Hence, we consider the weak field regime, in which these equations can be considered as small perturbations of the Einstein equations. We prove that both Lovelock and Horndeski theories are weakly hyperbolic in a generic weak field background in harmonic and generalised harmonic gauge, respectively. We show that Lovelock theories fail to be strongly hyperbolic in this setting. We also prove that the most general Horndeski theory which is strongly hyperbolic is simply a “k-essence” theory coupled to Einstein gravity and that any more general theory would necessarily fail to be so. Our results imply that the standard methods used to prove the well-posedness of the initial value problem for the Einstein equations cannot be extended to Lovelock or Horndeski theories. This raises the possibility that these theories may not admit a well-posed initial value problem even for weak fields and hence might not constitute a valid alternative to General Relativity.

2. Using gravitational waves to study neutron stars in general relativity and alternative theories of gravity

Author: Brown, Stephanie M. and Brown, Stephanie M.
Abstract: LIGO's detection of gravitational waves emitted by a binary black hole merger in 2015 opened a new window into our universe. The era of multi-messenger astronomy began in 2017 with the detection of binary neutron star merger GW170817 and its electromagnetic counterpart GRB170817A. Gravitational wave observations have become a valuable tool for studying diverse areas of physics. Gravitational waves are particularly suited to tests of general relativity in the strong field regime and to studies of nuclear matter in extreme conditions. The work presented in this thesis uses gravitational wave data to contribute to our understanding of neutron stars, nuclear matter, and general relativity, explore the capabilities of current and future detectors, and provide a foundation for future studies of alternate theories of gravity. Binary neutron star merger GW170817 offered new insights into nuclear physics, astrophysics, gravitational physics, and many other disciplines. The first study in this thesis combines the multi-messenger signals from GW170817 with state-of-the-art nuclear theory to place tight constraints on neutron star radii and tidal deformabilities, improving the radius measurement by a factor of 2. This study also constrains the nuclear equation of state and predicts that future neutron star-black hole mergers are unlikely to be disrupted and thus unlikely to have an electromagnetic counterparts. The second study in this thesis builds upon the first and focuses on the capabilities of aLIGO-Virgo, LIGO A+, LIGO Voyager, the Einstein Telescope, and Cosmic Explorer to study neutron star-black hole mergers without electromagnetic counterparts. The results demonstrate that neither the present LIGO-Virgo detector network nor its near-term upgrades are likely to distinguish between neutron star-black hole and binary black hole mergers. Third-generation instruments such as Cosmic Explorer may be able to make the distinction given an event with favorable parameters. This

3. Estimating the Parameters of the Hybrid Palatini Gravity Model with the Schwarzschild Precession of S2, S38 and S55 Stars: Case of Bulk Mass Distribution

Author: Borka, Duško, Borka Jovanović, Vesna, Nikolić, Violeta N., Lazarov, Nenad Ð., Jovanović, Predrag, Borka, Duško, Borka Jovanović, Vesna, Nikolić, Violeta N., Lazarov, Nenad Ð., and Jovanović, Predrag
Abstract: We estimate the parameters of the Hybrid Palatini gravity model with the Schwarzschild precession of S-stars, specifically of the S2, S38 and S55 stars. We also take into account the case of bulk mass distribution near the Galactic Center. We assume that the Schwarzschild orbital precession of mentioned S-stars is the same as in General Relativity (GR) in all studied cases. In 2020, the GRAVITY Collaboration detected the orbital precession of the S2 star around the supermassive black hole (SMBH) at the Galactic Center and showed that it is close to the GR prediction. The astronomical data analysis of S38 and S55 orbits showed that, also in these cases, the orbital precession is close to the GR prediction. Based on this observational fact, we evaluated the parameters of the Hybrid Palatini Gravity model with the Schwarzschild precession of the S2, S38 and S55 stars, and we estimated the range of parameters of the Hybrid Palatini gravity model for which the orbital precession is as in GR for all three stars. We also evaluated the parameters of the Hybrid Palatini Gravity model in the case of different values of bulk mass density distribution of extended matter. We believe that proposed method is a useful tool to evaluate parameters of the gravitational potential at the Galactic Center. © 2022 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.

4. Estimating the Parameters of Extended Gravity Theories with the Schwarzschild Precession of S2 Star

Author: Borka, Duško, Borka Jovanović, Vesna, Capozziello, Salvatore, Zakharov, Alexander F., Jovanović, Predrag, Borka, Duško, Borka Jovanović, Vesna, Capozziello, Salvatore, Zakharov, Alexander F., and Jovanović, Predrag
Abstract: After giving a short overview of previous results on constraining of Extended Gravity by stellar orbits, we discuss the Schwarzschild orbital precession of S2 star assuming the congruence with predictions of General Relativity (GR). At the moment, the S2 star trajectory is remarkably fitted with the first post-Newtonian approximation of GR. In particular, both Keck and VLT (GRAVITY) teams declared that the gravitational redshift near its pericenter passage for the S2 star orbit corresponds to theoretical estimates found with the first post-Newtonian (pN) approximation. In 2020, the GRAVITY Collaboration detected the orbital precession of the S2 star around the supermassive black hole (SMBH) at the Galactic Center and showed that it is close to the GR prediction. Based on this observational fact, we evaluated parameters of the Extended Gravity theories with the Schwarzschild precession of the S2 star. Using the mentioned method, we estimate the orbital precession angles for some Extended Gravity models including power-law f(R), general Yukawa-like corrections, scalar–tensor gravity, and non-local gravity theories formulated in both metric and Palatini formalism. In this consideration, we assume that a gravitational field is spherically symmetric, therefore, alternative theories of gravity could be described only with a few parameters. Specifically, considering the orbital precession, we estimate the range of parameters of these Extended Gravity models for which the orbital precession is like in GR. Then we compare these results with our previous results, which were obtained by fitting the simulated orbits of S2 star to its observed astrometric positions. In case of power-law f(R), generic Yukawa-like correction, scalar–tensor gravity and non-local gravity theories, we were able to obtain a prograde orbital precession, like in GR. According to these results, the method is a useful tool to evaluate parameters of the gravitational potential at the Galactic Center.

Abstract: Rapidly spinning neutron stars are promising sources of continuous gravitational waves. Detecting such a signal would allow probing of the physical properties of matter under extreme conditions. A significant fraction of the known pulsar population belongs to binary systems. Searching for unknown neutron stars in binary systems requires specialized algorithms to address unknown orbital frequency modulations. We present a search for continuous gravitational waves emitted by neutron stars in binary systems in early data from the third observing run of the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors using the semicoherent, GPU-accelerated, binaryskyhough pipeline. The search analyzes the most sensitive frequency band of the LIGO detectors, 50-300 Hz. Binary orbital parameters are split into four regions, comprising orbital periods of three to 45 days and projected semimajor axes of two to 40 light seconds. No detections are reported. We estimate the sensitivity of the search using simulated continuous wave signals, achieving the most sensitive results to date across the analyzed parameter space. © 2021 American Physical Society.

6. Observational tests of general relativity and alternative theories of gravity with Galactic Center observations using current and future large observational facilities

Abstract: It is established that there are supermassive black holes in centers of galaxies. A supermassive black hole with mass around 4 × 106 M⊙ is located at the Galactic Center. Such an approach for the Galactic Center looks rather natural, in spite of that consequences of model must be checked with observa- tions. We discuss opportunities to check this with forthcoming observations of shadows in mm band for the Galactic Center as it was done recently for M87*. Observations of bright stars moving near the Galactic Center gives another op-portunity to evaluate gravitational potential. We discuss opportunities to use these observations to constrain alternative theories of gravity. © 2020, Astronomical Institute, Slovak Academy of Sciences.

Abstract: Se deposita versión preprint del artículo, Cosmological observations allow the possibility that dark energy is caused by phantom fields. These fields typically lead to the occurrence of singularities in the late Universe. We review here the status of phantom singularities and their possible avoidance in a quantum theory of gravity. We first introduce phantom energy and discuss its behavior in cosmology. We then list the various types of singularities that can occur from its presence. We also discuss the possibility that phantom behavior is mimicked by an alternative theory of gravity. We finally address the quantum cosmology of these models and discuss in which sense the phantom singularities can be avoided., Basque Foundation of Science IKERBASQUE, Basque Government, FONDOS FEDER (MINECO/AEI/FEDER, UE), AEI/FEDER, UE, European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST), Depto. de Física Teórica, Fac. de Ciencias Físicas, Instituto de Física de Partículas y del Cosmos (IPARCOS), TRUE, pub

Abstract: We present the results of a search for short-duration gravitational-wave transients in the data from the second observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo. We search for gravitational-wave transients with a duration of milliseconds to approximately one second in the 32-4096 Hz frequency band with minimal assumptions about the signal properties, thus targeting a wide variety of sources. We also perform a matched-filter search for gravitational-wave transients from cosmic string cusps for which the waveform is well modeled. The unmodeled search detected gravitational waves from several binary black hole mergers which have been identified by previous analyses. No other significant events have been found by either the unmodeled search or the cosmic string search. We thus present the search sensitivities for a variety of signal waveforms and report upper limits on the source rate density as a function of the characteristic frequency of the signal. These upper limits are a factor of 3 lower than the first observing run, with a 50% detection probability for gravitational-wave emissions with energies of ∼10-9 Mc2 at 153 Hz. For the search dedicated to cosmic string cusps we consider several loop distribution models, and present updated constraints from the same search done in the first observing run. © 2019 American Physical Society.

11. Constraints on R-n gravity from precession of orbits of S2-like stars: A case of a bulk distribution of mass

Author: Zakharov, Alexander F., Borka, Duško, Borka Jovanović, Vesna, Jovanović, Predrag, Zakharov, Alexander F., Borka, Duško, Borka Jovanović, Vesna, and Jovanović, Predrag
Abstract: Here we investigate possible applications of observed stellar orbits around Galactic Center for constraining the R-n gravity at Galactic scales. For that purpose, we simulated orbits of S2-like stars around the massive black hole at Galactic Center, and study the constraints on the R-n gravity which could be obtained by the present and next generations of large telescopes. Our results show that R-n gravity affects the simulated orbits in the qualitatively similar way as a bulk distribution of matter (including a stellar cluster and dark matter distributions) in Newtons gravity. In the cases where the density of extended mass is higher, the maximum allowed value of parameter beta in R-n gravity is noticeably smaller, due to the fact that the both extended mass and R-n gravity cause the retrograde orbital precession.

12. GR 20 parallel session A3: modified gravity

Author: Hořava, Petr, Hořava, Petr, Mohd, Arif, Melby-Thompson, Charles M, Shawhan, Peter, Hořava, Petr, Hořava, Petr, Mohd, Arif, Melby-Thompson, Charles M, and Shawhan, Peter
Abstract: The parallel session (A3), on "Modified Gravity", enjoyed one on the largest number of abstract submissions (over 80), resulting in the selection of 24 oral presentations. The three short papers presented in the following sections are based on the session talks by Arif Mohd on thermodynamics of universal horizons in Einstein-Æther theory, Conformal anomalies in Hořava-Lifshitz gravity by Charles Melby-Thompson and detectability of scalar gravitational waves by LIGO and Virgo by Peter Shawhan. They have been selected as a representative sample, to illustrate some of the best in the remarkable and encouraging variety of topics discussed in the session-ranging from highly theoretical, to phenomenological, observational, and experimental-with all these areas playing an integral part in our quest to understand the limits of standard general relativity. © 2014 Springer Science+Business Media New York.

13. Dark energy and dust matter phases from an exact f (R)-cosmology model

Abstract: We show that dust matter-dark energy combined phases can be achieved by the exact solution derived from a power law f (R) cosmological model. This example answers the query by which a dust-dominated decelerated phase, before dark-energy accelerated phase, is needed in order to form large scale structures.

14. Static, spherically symmetric solutions with a scalar field in Rastall gravity

Author: Bronnikov K.A., Fabris J.C., Piattella O.F., Santos E.C., Bronnikov K.A., Fabris J.C., Piattella O.F., and Santos E.C.
Abstract: Rastall’s theory belongs to the class of non-conservative theories of gravity. In vacuum, the only non-trivial static, spherically symmetric solution is the Schwarzschild one, except for a very special case. When a canonical scalar field is coupled to the gravity sector in this theory, new exact solutions appear for some values of the Rastall parameter a. Some of these solutions describe the same space–time geometry as the recently found solutions in the k-essence theory with a power function for the kinetic term of the scalar field. There is a large class of solutions (in particular, those describing wormholes and regular black holes) whose geometry coincides with that of solutions of GR coupled to scalar fields with nontrivial self-interaction potentials; the form of these potentials, however, depends on the Rastall parameter a. We also note that all solutions of GR with a zero trace of the energy-momentum tensor, including black-hole and wormhole ones, may be re-interpreted as solutions of Rastall’s theory. © 2016, Springer Science+Business Media New York.

15. Axionic extension of the Einstein-aether theory: How does dynamic aether regulate the state of axionic dark matter?

Author: Balakin A., Shakirzyanov A., Balakin A., and Shakirzyanov A.
Abstract: © 2019 Elsevier B.V. In the framework of axionic extension of the Einstein-aether theory we establish the model, which describes a stiff regulation of the behavior of axionic dark matter by the dynamic aether. The aether realizes this procedure via the modified Higgs potential, designed for modeling of nonlinear self-interaction of pseudoscalar (axion) field; the modification of this potential is that its minima are not fixed, and their positions and depths depend now on the square of the covariant derivative of the aether velocity four-vector. Exact solutions to the master equations, modified correspondingly, are obtained in the framework of homogeneous isotropic cosmological model. The effective equation of state for axionic dark matter is of the stiff type. Homogeneous perturbations of the pseudoscalar (axion) field, of the Hubble function and of the scale factor are shown to fade out with cosmological time, there are no growing modes, the model of stiff regulation is stable.

16. The extended Einstein-Maxwell-Aether-Axion model: Exact solutions for axionically controlled pp-wave aether modes

Abstract: © 2018 World Scientific Publishing Company. The extended Einstein-Maxwell-Aether-Axion model describes internal interactions inside the system, which contains gravitational, electromagnetic fields, the dynamic unit vector field describing the velocity of an aether, and the pseudoscalar field associated with the axionic dark matter. The specific feature of this model is that the axion field controls the dynamics of the aether through the guiding functions incorporated into Jacobson's constitutive tensor. Depending on the state of the axion field, these guiding functions can control and switch on or switch off the influence of acceleration, shear, vorticity and expansion of the aether flow on the state of physical system as a whole. We obtain new exact solutions, which possess the pp-wave symmetry, and indicate them by the term pp-wave aether modes in contrast to the pure pp-waves, which cannot propagate in this field conglomerate. These exact solutions describe a specific dynamic state of the pseudoscalar field, which corresponds to one of the minima of the axion potential and switches off the influence of shear and expansion of the aether flow; the model does not impose restrictions on Jacobson's coupling constants and on the axion mass. Properties of these new exact solutions are discussed.

17. Einstein-aether theory with a Maxwell field: General formalism

Author: Balakin A., Lemos J., Balakin A., and Lemos J.
Abstract: We extend the Einstein-aether theory to include the Maxwell field in a nontrivial manner by taking into account its interaction with the time-like unit vector field characterizing the aether. We also include a generic matter term. We present a model with a Lagrangian that includes cross-terms linear and quadratic in the Maxwell tensor, linear and quadratic in the covariant derivative of the aether velocity four-vector, linear in its second covariant derivative and in the Riemann tensor. We decompose these terms with respect to the irreducible parts of the covariant derivative of the aether velocity, namely, the acceleration four-vector, the shear and vorticity tensors, and the expansion scalar. Furthermore, we discuss the influence of an aether non-uniform motion on the polarization and magnetization of the matter in such an aether environment, as well as on its dielectric and magnetic properties. The total self-consistent system of equations for the electromagnetic and the gravitational fields, and the dynamic equations for the unit vector aether field are obtained. Possible applications of this system are discussed. Based on the principles of effective field theories, we display in an appendix all the terms up to fourth order in derivative operators that can be considered in a Lagrangian that includes the metric, the electromagnetic and the aether fields. © 2014 Elsevier Inc.
