1 GWastro Symposium, , YITP Toward self-consistent calculations of CS gravity in the solar system test Hideki Asada Hirosaki U with Yuya Nakamura (M1), Riko Yamada (M1) Kei Yamada (Kyoto) Nicolas Yunes (Montana)

2 Introduction many theories of modification to GR e.g. Mukoyama-san s talk 1) Theoretical tests self-consistency, stability, well-posed initial value etc. 2) Experimental tests cosmology, solar-system, GW etc. (weak-field)(strong-field)

3 PPN (Parameterized post-newton) Formalism slow motion (v/c << 1) weak field (U << 1) Eddington (1922) Will and Nordtvedt (1972) The coefficients at 1PN metric depend on a theory that we wish to test Assume(explicit): Potentials obey Poisson equation Assume(implicit): Potentials do not violate parity (exclude pseudo-scalars) 10 parameters

4 PPN metric g 00 = 1+2GU 2 G 2 U 2 2 G 2 W +( )G 1 +2( )G (1 + 3 )G 3 ( 1 2 )GA +2( )G 4 g 0i = 1 2 ( )GV i 2 ( )GW i g ij = (1+2 GU) ij.

6 Alexander & Yunes, (2007) EH action + Chern-Simons(CS) term S = c4 16πG g d 4 x [ R + f ] RR 4, R = R αβγδ, R = 1 2 ϵαβµν R γδ µν. See also Witten(1989) and Ashtekar+(1989)

7 Experimental CS test using Gravity Probe B (GPB) (launched in 2004) Everitt et al. PRL (2011) Frame-dragging detection with 20% precision Geodetic effect with 0.3% precision See Focus Issue: Gravity Probe B, Classical and Quantum Gravity (2016) for the full technical and data analysis details of GPB.

8 CS makes a parity-violating PPN term Alexander & Yunes (2007) e.g. V V (V i ) 1PN vector potential

11 However, the calculations of CS in the PN so far rely on simplistic assumptions (especially for a scalar field...)

12 e.g. Alexander and Yunes(2007) assume a priori spatially homogeneous and slowly varying with time They assume df/dt = const. This is taken as a new PPN parameter. Their model is non-dynamical. Smith, Erickcek, Caldwell, Kamionkowski(2008) dv d 1 12 R ~R: (4) By restricting θ to be spatially homogenous, we are effectively treating θ as a nondynamical field,...
