1 Modified Theories of Gravity in Cosmology Gonzalo J. Olmo University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (USA) Gonzalo J. Olmo
2 About this talk... Motivation: General Relativity by itself seems unable to justify the late-time cosmic acceleration. Corrections to the Einstein-Hilbert lagrangian relevant at very low cosmic curvatures have been proposed as a mechanism for the late-time cosmic speed-up. Gonzalo J. Olmo St.Louis, November 18 th, p. 2/8
3 About this talk... Motivation: General Relativity by itself seems unable to justify the late-time cosmic acceleration. Corrections to the Einstein-Hilbert lagrangian relevant at very low cosmic curvatures have been proposed as a mechanism for the late-time cosmic speed-up. Aims: Introduce some families of modified theories of gravity. Show how cosmic speed-up arises in f(r) models. Discuss the influence of the cosmic dynamics on local systems. Use elementary observational facts to constrain the form of the lagrangian f(r). Gonzalo J. Olmo St.Louis, November 18 th, p. 2/8
4 Gravity lagrangians and fields Modified lagrangians are functionals of curvature invariants: Popular models f(r) Examples: R = g µν R µν P = R µν R µν Q = R α µβν Rµβν α f(r, P, Q) Not so popular f(r) = R+ R2 f(r) = R R2 M 2 0 R f(r,p,q) = R R 3 0 ar 2 +bp+cq Gonzalo J. Olmo St.Louis, November 18 th, p. 3/8
5 Gravity lagrangians and fields Modified lagrangians are functionals of curvature invariants: Popular models f(r) Examples: R = g µν R µν P = R µν R µν Q = R α µβν Rµβν α f(r, P, Q) Not so popular f(r) = R+ R2 f(r) = R R2 M 2 0 R f(r,p,q) = R R 3 0 ar 2 +bp+cq Dynamical fields: Metric formalism: g µν (fourth-order e.o.m.) Palatini formalism: g µν,γ α βγ (second-order e.o.m.) Gonzalo J. Olmo St.Louis, November 18 th, p. 3/8

Palatini formalism: g µν,γ α βγ (second-order e.o.m.) By requiring second-order equations and covariance in metric formalism we are uniquely led to the EH lagrangian R 2Λ. Gonzalo J.

7 Gravity lagrangians and fields Modified lagrangians are functionals of curvature invariants: Popular models f(r) Examples: R = g µν R µν P = R µν R µν Q = R α µβν Rµβν α f(r, P, Q) Not so popular f(r) = R+ R2 f(r) = R R2 M 2 0 R f(r,p,q) = R R 3 0 ar 2 +bp+cq Dynamical fields: Metric formalism: g µν (fourth-order e.o.m.) Palatini formalism: g µν,γ α βγ (second-order e.o.m.) By requiring second-order equations and covariance in metric formalism we are uniquely led to the EH lagrangian R 2Λ. There is no selection rule for the lagrangian neither in Palatini nor in fourth-order theories. Could cosmology be a guide? Gonzalo J. Olmo St.Louis, November 18 th, p. 3/8
8 New dynamics at low R in f(r) models The e.o.m. for f(r) = R+εg(R) are : ( f = d f/dr, g = dg/dr) G µν = κ2 f T µν + ε f [ gµν (Rg (R) g(r)) ( µ ν g (R) g µν g (R)) ] trace R = κ 2 T ε[3 g (R)+Rg (R) 2g(R)] Gonzalo J. Olmo St.Louis, November 18 th, p. 4/8
9 New dynamics at low R in f(r) models The e.o.m. for f(r) = R+εg(R) are : ( f = d f/dr, g = dg/dr) G µν = κ2 f T µν + ε f [ gµν (Rg (R) g(r)) ( µ ν g (R) g µν g (R)) ] trace R = κ 2 T ε[3 g (R)+Rg (R) 2g(R)] There exist two dynamical regimes: R κ 2 T GR dominates (deceleration). R R ε New dynamics dominates (speed-up). The speed-up is due to a radical change of dynamical regime Gonzalo J. Olmo St.Louis, November 18 th, p. 4/8
10 New dynamics at low R in f(r) models The e.o.m. for f(r) = R+εg(R) are : ( f = d f/dr, g = dg/dr) G µν = κ2 f T µν + ε f [ gµν (Rg (R) g(r)) ( µ ν g (R) g µν g (R)) ] trace R = κ 2 T ε[3 g (R)+Rg (R) 2g(R)] There exist two dynamical regimes: R κ 2 T GR dominates (deceleration).

R R ε New dynamics dominates (speed-up). The speed-up is due to a radical change of dynamical regime Is the solar system affected by that change of regime? NO: because R SS R ε due to a cloud of dust and plasma. Gonzalo J. Olmo St.Louis, November 18 th, p. 4/8

R R ε New dynamics dominates (speed-up). The speed-up is due to a radical change of dynamical regime Is the solar system affected by that change of regime? NO: because R SS R ε due to a cloud of dust and plasma. Who knows: Since R is a dynamical object... Is the local R sensitive to the asymptotic boundary values? Gonzalo J.
