4 1. Introduction: Einstein theory of gravity (ETG) ETG is the simplest geometric and current theory of gravity It is General Relativity (GR) and contains Newton theory of gravity Its predictions are confirmed mainly in Solar System (classical tests: perihelion precession of Mercury orbit, deflection of light by the Sun, gravitational redshift of light ) It gives a possibility to understand gravitational phenomena from laboratory scale to cosmological scales ETG predicts existence black holes, gravitational waves, gravitational lensing, Dark Energy (DE) and Dark Matter (DM) VARNA 2015 B. Dragovich VARNA /42
5 1. Introduction: some problems of Einstein theory of gravity General Relativity is non-renormalizable quantum field theory. It predicts Dark Energy and Dark Matter which are mysterious and without other evidence. General Relativity has not been tested and confirmed at large cosmic scales, hence its application for the Universe as a whole is questionable. Cosmological solutions of GR contain Big Bang singularity. All these problems serve as motivation to investigate a Modified Gravity, which is a generalization of ETG. There are many modifications motivated by high energy particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. To get (nonsingular) bounce cosmological solutions we consider a Nonlocal Modified Gravity.

It means that effect of nonlocality does not depend on the magnitude of scalar curvature R, but on its spacetime dependence, and in the FLRW case is sensitive only to dependence of R on time t.

33 4. Cosmological Solutions Cosmological solutions with constant scalar curvature Let R = R 0 = const and we obtain 6( ä a + ( ) ) ȧ 2 a + k = R a 2 0. The change of variable b(t) = a 2 (t) yields 3 b R 0 b = 6k. Depending on the sign of R 0 we have the following solutions for b(t) R 0 > 0 : R 0 < 0 : b(t) = 6k R0 + σe 3t R 0 b(t) = 6k R 0 + σ cos + τe R0 3t, R0 R0 + τ sin. 3t 3t VARNA 2015 B. Dragovich VARNA /42
34 4. Cosmological Solutions: constant scalar curvature When we set R = R 0 = const into trace and 00-equation we obtain the following system 2f 0 = R 0 16πG, 1 2 f 0 = G 00 16πG The last system has a solution iff R 0 + 4R 00 = 0. Note that R 00 can be written in terms of function b(t) as R 00 = 3ä a = 3((ḃ)2 2b b) 4b 2. VARNA 2015 B. Dragovich VARNA /42
35 4. Cosmological Solutions: constant scalar curvature Now, from R 0 + 4R 00 = 0 we obtain the following conditions on the parameters σ and τ: R 0 > 0 : 9k 2 = R 2 0 στ, R 0 < 0 : 36k 2 = R 2 0 (σ2 + τ 2 ). VARNA 2015 B. Dragovich VARNA /42
36 4. Cosmological Solutions: constant scalar curvature (R 0 < 0) If k = 1 we can define ϕ by σ = 6 R 0 cos ϕ and τ = 6 R 0 sin ϕ and rewrite a(t) and b(t) as b(t) = 12 cos 2 1 R 0 2 ( R 0 3 t ϕ), 12 a(t) = cos 1 R 0 2 ( R 0 3 t ϕ). In the last case k = +1 we can transform b(t) to b(t) = 12 R 0 sin ( R 0 3 t ϕ), which is non positive and hence yields no solutions. VARNA 2015 B. Dragovich VARNA /42
37 4. Cosmological Solutions: constant scalar curvature (R 0 > 0) If k = 0 then a(t) = a 0 e λt. If k = +1, we obtain b(t) = 12 cosh 2 1 R 0 2 ( 12 a(t) = cosh 1 R 0 2 ( If k = 1, then R0 3 t + ϕ), R0 R0 3 t + ϕ). b(t) = 12 sinh 2 1 R 0 2 ( 3 t + ϕ), 12 a(t) = sinh 1 R 0 2 ( R0 3 t + ϕ). VARNA 2015 B. Dragovich VARNA /42
38 4. Cosmological Solutions: constant scalar curvature (R = 12λ 2 ) We consider the scale factor of the form a(t) = a 0 (σ 1 e λt + τ 1 e λt ). We have H(t) = λ(e2λt σ 1 τ 1 ) e 2λt σ 1 + τ 1, R(t) = 6(e2λt k + 2λ 2 (e 4λt σ1 2 + τ 1 2)a2 0 ) (e 2λt σ 1 + τ 1 ) 2 a0 2. In order to have R = const we have to satisfy condition k = 4λ 2 a 2 0 σ 1τ 1. From the last condition we obtain R = 12λ 2. VARNA 2015 B. Dragovich VARNA /42
39 4. Cosmological Solutions: constant scalar curvature (R = 12λ 2 ) Substituting this into equations trace and 00-component we obtain f 0 = 3λ2 8πG, f i R, i 1. In particular, if we set σ 1 = τ 1 = 1 2 the scale factor becomes a(t) = a 0 cosh(λt). In this case from condition k = 4λ 2 a 2 0 σ 1τ 1 we see that the only nontrivial case is when k is equal to 1. From this we obtain a 0 = 1 λ. If we take σ 1 = 0 or τ 1 = 0 the scale factor becomes a(t) = a 0 e λt. From condition k = 4λ 2 a 2 0 σ 1τ 1 we see that in this case k must be equal to 0. VARNA 2015 B. Dragovich VARNA /42
40 4. Cosmological Solutions: constant scalar curvature (R 0 = 0) The case R 0 = 0 can be considered as limit of R 0 0 in both cases R 0 < 0 and R 0 > 0. When R 0 < 0 there is condition 36k 2 = R0 2(σ2 + τ 2 ). From this condition, R 0 0 implies k = 0 and arbitrary values of constants σ and τ. The same conclusion obtains when R 0 > 0 with condition 9k 2 = R0 2 στ. In both these cases there is Minkowski solution with b(t) = constant > 0 and consequently a(t) = constant > 0. Note that the Minkowski space solution can be also obtained from the case R = 12λ 2. Namely, the solution a(t) = a 0 e λt satisfies H = λ. Taking the limit λ 0 in a(t) = a 0 e λt one obtains Minkowski space as a solution for f 0 = 0, f i R, i 1. VARNA 2015 B. Dragovich VARNA /42
41 5. Concluding Remarks Motivations to modify Einstein theory of gravity come from high energy particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. We have considered two simple nonlocal gravity models with their bounce cosmological solutions. The first model is S = d 4 x ( R 2Λ ) g 16πG + RF( )R with cosmological solutions of the form: ( ) Λ a(t) = a 0 cosh 3 t, a(t) = a 0 e 1 2 a(t) = a 0 (σe λt + τe λt ) Λ 3 t2, VARNA 2015 B. Dragovich VARNA /42
42 5. Concluding Remarks The second model is given by S = d 4 x ( R ) g 16πG + R 1 F( )R. When R = R 0 < 0 there is nontrivial solution a(t) = 12 R 0 cos 1 2 ( R 0 3 t ϕ) for k = 1, is a singular cyclic solution. In the case R = R 0 > 0 there are solutions for all three values of curvature constant k = 0, ±1. The case R = R 0 = 0 was considered as limit of R 0 0 in both cases R 0 < 0 and R 0 > 0, and Minkowski space solution was obtained. Solutions for R 0 > 0 with k = 0, +1 are nonsingular bounce cosmological solutions. Research on cosmological perturbations is in progress. VARNA 2015 B. Dragovich VARNA /42
