Modified Gravity

An Overview

Tries to explain galaxy rotation curves without dark matter. Modifies Newton’s constant G = GN (1 + ↵) Introduces scalar fields to mimic the running of couplings normally induced by an effective theory of quantum gravity(e.g [arXiv:1202.2274]) Also introduces a vector field

Massive vector fields in QFT

What is the force between two massive vector field point particles?

Let J = J1 + J2, where Ji (x) = (3) (x xi). Neglecting self-interactions JiJi and using (x) = R dkeikx, W (J) = ✓Z dx0 ◆ Z d3k (2⇡)3 ei~

Massive vector fields in QFT

Using that Z = ⌦ eiHT↵ we can identify E = i log Z/T = W /T = emr 4⇡r . So the potential between two massive vector particles is of Yukawa type and leads to a repulsion. Note that this only applies in flat spacetime.

Weak field limit

To make predictions about galaxy rotation curves we need to consider the weak field limit gµ⌫ = ⌘µ⌫ + hµ⌫. Then we would also have to perturb G, µ, µ and things would get messy. Instead of doing this we can instead use our previous insights to guess Φeff (~ x) = GN (1 + ↵) Z d3x0 ⇢ (~ x0) |~ x ~ x0| + GN↵ Z d3x0⇢ ~ x0 eµ|~

x~ x0|

|~ x ~ x0| . Note that the prefactor of the second term has been chosen to cancel the the corrections at small distances, viz. emr ' 1, so that compatibility with Newtonian gravity is maintained. = ) This is indeed the result we would have obtained from the EOMs.

Galaxy rotation curves revisited

These fits fix the values of ↵ and µ to ↵ = 8.89 µ = 0.042kpc1 As distances in the solar system are of the order of light minutes, these values are compatible with the Yukawa part of the gravitational potential being absent in solar system based experiments.
