Origin of this acceleration

  • An artefact of the averaging process ?

Gij(<gkl>) = κ <Tij > instead of <Gij(gkl)>= κ <Tij > G(<gkl>) =<G(gkl)>) Ellis, 1971,..., see review Buchert, 2006 et seq.

  • Exotic matter ? (ρΛ + pΛ ≈ 0)

– Chaplygin gas : pρ = −A, (Kamenshchik et al., 2001) – Quintessence : R.G. plus ϕ with V ∝ 1/ϕn (Steinhardt et al., 1997)

  • “Modified” gravity ?

– Λ : the simplest explanation, (Bianchi and Rovelli, Feb 2010) – MOND, see, e.g., Navarro and Acoleyen, 2005 – “Branes” : DGP (2000), Deffayet (2001) – f(R) lagrangian, instead of Hilbert’s R C.D.T.T. (2003), Capozziello et al. (2003)

  • 1. Introducing f(R) theories of gravity
  • d.o.f. : gravity is described by a “graviton” and a “scalaron”

¯ S[gij] =

1 2κ

  • d4x√−g f(R) + Sm(Ψ ; gij)

(Weyl 1918, Pauli 1919, Eddington, 1924) Metric variation yields a 4th order diff eqn for gij : f ′(R) Gij + 1

2(Rf ′ − f)gij + gijD2f ′ − Dijf ′ = κ Tij

(⇒ DjT ij = 0) The trace : 3D2f ′ + (Rf ′ − 2f) = κ T is a (2nd order) eom for R (or f ′(R)), the “scalaron”(Starobinski, 1980) Remark : “Palatini” variations yield different eom (Vollick, 2003 et seq.)

  • Isolating the scalaron and coupling it to matter

Introduce a “Helmholtz” lagrangian : ¯ S[gij, s] =

1 2κ

  • d4x√−g [f ′(s)R − (sf ′(s) − f(s)] + Sm(Ψ ; ˜

gij = e2C(s)gij) (No reason for the scalaron not to couple to matter.) hence TWO second order differential equations of motion : f ′(s)Gij + 1

2gij(sf ′(s) − f(s)) + gijD2f ′(s) − Dijf ′(s) = κTij

s = R − 2κC′(s)T/f ′′(s) (⇒ DjT j

i = TC′(s)∂is)

C(s) = 0 : standard f(R) gravity ; s = R, same eom as before. C(s) = 0 : “detuned” f(R) gravity (ND, Sasaki, Sendouda, 2007)

  • Jordan vs Einstein frame description of f(R) gravity

– The “Jordan frame” is the spacetime, ˜ M, with metric ˜ gij = e2Cgij to which matter is minimally coupled (that is : ˜ Dj ˜ T ij = 0, e.g. ˜ ρ ∝ 1/˜ a3). In this frame the action is a Brans-Dicke type action (up to a divergence) ˜ S[˜ gij, Φ] =

1 2κ

  • d4x√−˜

g

  • Φ ˜

R − ω(Φ)

Φ (˜

∂Φ)2 − 2U(Φ)

  • + Sm[Ψ; ˜

gij] where Φ(s) = f ′(s)e−2C(s) , U(s) = 1

2(sf ′(s) − f(s))e−2C(s)

and ω(s) = −3K(s)(K(s)−2)

2(K(s)−1)2

with K(s) =

d C d ln√ f′.

For standard f(R) gravity, C(s) = 0 ; the Jordan frame is the original one. And ω = 0 ; if U ≈ 0, f(R) gravity is ruled out since ω > 40000 (Cassini) (see Damour Esposito-Farese, 1992, and below)

– The “Einstein frame” is the spacetime, M∗, the metric of which, g∗

  • Jordan vs Einstein frames : an endless debate

– Einstein frame is the “physical” frame : Magnano-Sokolewski (93, 07), Gunzig-Faraoni (98) (but see Faraoni (06)) (“DEC does not hold in JF hence no positive energy theorem”) – Jordan frame is the “physical” frame : Damour Esposito-Farese (92) · · · “Jordan metric defines the lengths and times actually measured by laboratory rods and clocks (which are made of matter)” (Esposito-Farese Polarski, 2000) – Jordan and Einstein frames are equivalent (classically) : Flanagan (04); Makino-Sasaki (91), Kaiser (95) (CMB anisotropies) ; Catena et al (06) (cosmo)

  • Jordan vs Einstein frames : an example

– Capozziello et al, 10. FRW metric in JF (ds2 = −dt2 + a2(t)dx2). Define H(z) as : H(t) ≡ ˙

a a, z(t) ≡ a0 a − 1

Define : H∗(t) ≡ H∗

n

a∗ da∗ dt∗, z∗(t) ≡ a∗

n

a∗(t) − 1

(where t∗ = √f ′dt, a∗ = √f ′ a. and a∗

n and H∗ n such that q∗(tn) = q0 and a∗ n ≡ a∗(tn), H∗(tn) = H0.)

The H(z) and H∗(z∗) are different. (Correct.) Since H(z) and H∗(z∗) are “Hubble laws”, “the Jordan and Einstein frames are physically inequivalent”. (Wrong.) Indeed :

slide-11
SLIDE 11

11

– First, relate observable variables : redshift (Z = ν

ν0 − 1) vs luminosity (D =

  • L

4πl with L = Nhν2)

where ν is the frequency of some atomic transition “there and then” ; where ν0 and l are the observed frequency and apparent luminosity. In the JF, matter is minimally coupled, the EEP holds and ν is the same as in the lab now. Hence, as in GR : Z = a0

a − 1, D = (1 + Z)

Z

dZ H

– Second, recall that matter is not minimally coupled in EF : In the EF, the interaction of φ with matter implies m∗ = m/√f ′ (Damour Gef, 92). Now ν∗ ∝ m∗ and the frequency “there and then” (ν∗) is NOT the frequency measured in the lab now (ν). Hence find : Z∗ ≡ ν

ν∗

0 −1 = Z and D∗ = D. (Catena et al,. ND Sasaki) :

Relationships between observables do not depend on the frame.

  • Hamiltonian structure of f(R) gravity

In a nutshell : – Extra dof : either K (˙ gµν) : “Odstrogradsky formulation”, (Buchbinder- Lyahovich 87, Querella 99, Esawa et al 99-09) or R (¨ gµν), Boulware 84. – the action can be written in the Jordan or the Einstein frame ALL variables are related by (non-linear) canonical transformations. (N.D., Sendouda,Youssef 09, N.D., Sasaki, Sendouda, Yamauchi 09) – Equivalence at the quantum level ? At linear order, yes (CMB), otherwise ?

  • Junction conditions in f(R) gravity

In a nutshell : – Do not impose the continuity of 1st, 2nd and 3rd order derivatives of JF ˜ gij – Impose continuity of 1st and 2nd order derivatives of ˜ gij and of R and its 1st derivative (Teyssandier-Tourrenc 83, ND Sasaki, Sendouda, 07)

  • A first flaw

ϕ2 ≈ κρ∗ , ¨ ϕ + 3H2

˙ ρ∗ + H∗ρ∗ = − ˙

ϕ √ 3ρ∗

Hence : ˜ a(˜ t) ∝ ˜ t1/2 instead of ˜ t2/3 (for ϕ ≈ 0, V is negligible, not ˙ ϕ) the CDTT model is ruled out

  • Conditions for a standard matter era followed by late acceleration

The“phase space trajectory” m = m(r) can connect a (saddle) matter point PM = (r ≈ −1, m ≈ 0+) with dm/dr|−1 > −1 to a stable fixed point corresponding to – either exponential acceleration, PS ∈ r = −2, if 0 < m(−2) ≤ 1 – or ˜ a ∝ ˜ tr, r > 1, PA ∈ m = −(1 + r), if dm

  • 3. f(R) gravity and local tests
  • A ninety year old mistake

CDTT, 2003 : “Many solar system tests of gravity theory depend on the Schwarzschild (de Sitter) solution, which Birkhoff’s theorem ensures is the unique, static, spherically symmetric solution (...) Astrophysical tests of gravity will be unaffected by the modification we have made.” Weyl (1918), Pauli (1919) and Eddington (1924) had said the same... Pechlaner-Sexl (1966), Havas (1977) : f(R) field equations are fourth

  • rder differential equations ; they possess extra-runaway solutions : there is

no Birkhoff theorem ; the solution outside an extended source is not the Schwarzschild metric and depends on its equation of state.

  • One-scale f(R) models of DE are ω = 0 Brans-Dicke theory

Chiba (2003), Olmo (2005), Erickcek et al (2006), Navarro-Acoleyen (2006),... The short answer : Recall that f(R)-gravity is of Brans-Dicke type with ω = 0 and a potential U = 1

2(Rf ′(R) − f(R))

Teyssandier-Tourrenc, 1983 Can U be neglected when studying gravity in the solar system ? Yes Indeed f(R) = R − H4

0/R, yields U = O(H2 0) = O(1/ℓ2) with ℓ ≫ LSS.

Therefore, see e.g Will or Damour-Esposito Farese, ω must be large to comply with solar system observations : ω > 40000 (Cassini). Hence, all one-scale f(R) models of dark energy are ruled out.

  • Where do we stand ?

– the original CDTT model f(R) = H2

0(RH−2

− 1/(RH−2

0 )n) failed :

final acceleration but no matter era – various one-scale cosmologically viable models had been proposed, e.g. : f(R) = H2

0(RH−2

+ (RH−2

0 )n)

with 0 < n < 1 – all badly failed to comply with local gravity constraints because the scalar curvature is locked at its cosmological value R = O(H2

0) = O(κρcosmo)

everywhere, even inside the Sun where, instead, GR gives R = O(κρ⊙) – however, if the scalaron could be given a heavy mass, the linear approximation (violated in that limit) indicates that the gravity field of the Sun would be the same as in GR – hence : look for two-scale f(R) models and solve the full non-linear scalaron eom

slide-22
SLIDE 22

22

  • Conventional wisdom...:

e.g. Starobinski, 2007 linearise the scalaron eom on the SS background : dV

dϕ|SS ∝ κρ⊙ :

△ϕ1 − m2ϕ1 ≈ 0 with m2 = f′−Rf′′

3f′′

If, for R ≫ 1/ℓ2, e.g. R ∼ κρ⊙ : f ′ → 1 and m2

SS ≈ 1 3f′′|SS is positive and

large ((mL)SS ≫ 1) then deviations from Einstein’s GR are small. CDTT model : m2

SS is large and negative (Dolgov-Kawasaki, 2003)

  • ...and the “Chameleon” effect

Khoury-Weltman (2003) Navarro-Acoleyen (2006), Capozziello-Tsujikawa (2007)

  • r : how can the scalar curvature become equal to the local matter density
slide-23
SLIDE 23

23

Chameleon details (Takami-Tsujikawa 2008) (For a review see Brax et al., P. Brax ihes seminar) Once again, look at scalaron eom : D2

∗ϕ − dV dϕ = κ 2 √ 3T∗

In ≈ flat background : △∗ϕ = dVeff

with

dVeff dϕ = dV dϕ − κρ∗ 2 √ 3

Contrarily to V , Veff may have minima for ϕ = ϕ⊙ inside the Sun and for ϕ = ϕe outside. One looks for ϕ|e,⊙ = ϕ(Re,⊙) such that Re,⊙ ≈ κρe,⊙. Solution outside : ϕ = ϕe + C r⊙

r when mer⊙ ≪ 1 with m2 e = d2V dϕ2|e

Solution inside : ϕ ≈ ϕ⊙ up to r = r1, then interpolation to ϕ outside. if r1 ≈ r⊙, then C = 3βClin with β =

ϕe−ϕ⊙ GM⊙/r⊙ ≈ ϕe GM⊙/r⊙

One needs β < 10−5 to have γ − 1 < 10−5 (Cassini)

  • A new family of f(R) models of dark energy

Hu-Sawicki (2007), Starobinski (2007), Odintsov et al (2008), ... f(R) = R + λRc

  • 1

(1+R2/R2

c)n − 1

  • , etc

dV dϕ − κρe 2 √ 3 = 0 gives ϕe = O (ρc/ρe)2n+1

Now, β ≈

ϕe GM⊙/r⊙ ≈ 106ϕe < 10−5 ; hence ϕe < 10−11

For ρe = ρgalaxy = 105ρc then ϕe = O(10−5(2n+1)) and hence the models evade Local Gravity Constraints as soon as n > 1/2 In a nutshell : the Chameleon effect relies on (1)“locking” ϕ, that is, the scalar curvature, on its Einstein value inside the Sun, and (2) on a local environment much denser than the asymptotic, cosmological, value.

  • Beyond flat background : f(R) dense star models

Frolov (2008); Kobayashi-Maeda (2008) : Rcentral → ∞ ? Babichev-Langlois (2009) : NO, if ρ − 3P > 0.

slide-25
SLIDE 25

25

  • 4. Back to cosmology : “cured viable” models
  • An uncontrolable scalaron instability ?

The new family of models yield cosmological scale factors which are undistinguishable from Λ-CDM until after the end of the matter era and tend to a de Sitter regime a ∝ eH˜

t.

... However, because the mass of the scalaron is chosen to be high in high matter density environment (in order to comply with Local gravity Constraints), the cosmological perturbations of the scalaron diverge in the early matter era unless their amplitude is tuned to a very small value. Starobinski (2007), Tsujikawa (2007) ... but this problem can be cured too : f(R) = R − µ Rc

(R/Rc)2n (R/Rc)2n+1 + R2 6M2

Appleby, Battye and Starobinsky (2009) .............. Better than Λ ???

... What is then the origin of the present acceleration of the universe ?...

  • “Modified” gravity ?

– f(R)-gravity : standard models : not convincing ; “detuned” f(R)? – MOND ? “Branes” ?

  • Exotic matter ?

– Chaplygin gas ? Quintessence ? (see Efstathiou et al. 2007)

  • An artefact of the averaging process ?

Gij(<gkl>) = κ <Tij > instead of <Gij(gkl)>= κ <Tij >

  • ... or “simply” Λ ?

usual objections : why so small, and why now ? Bianchi-Rovelli (2010) : – Λ is no “blunder” – no strong probability argument against “now” – if 120 orders of magnitude off HEP prediction: HEP problem !

  • 4. Remarks on Black Holes in f(R) theories
  • On uniqueness theorems
  • T. Damour and G. Esposito-Farese (1992)

In vacuum f(R) is GR+φ. Black holes have no scalair hair. Hence Kerr (de Sitter) is the unique solution. Whitt (1984) showed the unicity of Kerr (de Sitter) for f(R) = R + aR2 if a > 0. NB: the method applies to all f(R) such that f ′(2f −Rf ′) > 0 in DOC. Mignemi-Wiltshire (1992) showed the unicity of Schwarzschild for f(R) = R+ anRn with a2 > 0 (spherically symmetric case when asymptotic flatness is requested). Nothing much since then it seems...

  • Bekenstein entropy and f(R) BH thermodynamics

– The only ingredients necessary to describe the Penrose process are : a metric (e.g. Kerr with parameters M, J = Ma in the Jordan Frame) geodesic motion (implying EEP). IF (big if !) E = δM and L = δJ : – Result : δM − ΩδJ ≥ 0, that is, δF(A) ≥ 0, applies to f(R) theories. (Ω is the angular velocity of the BH, A its area.) – The (more general) area theorem, δA ≥ 0 also applies to f(R) theories. – Hence the Bekenstein entropy : SB = αA s.t. TdSB = dM − ΩdJ in f(R) theories as in GR. (T =

κ 8πα, κ being the BH surface gravity)

– As for α it is obtained e.g. by analytical continuation of quantum fields across the horizon : α = 1/4 in f(R) theories as in GR. If all true Bekenstein entropy and first law generalize to all f(R) theories.... where M and J are the gravitational mass and angular momentum of the BH.

Entropy as a Noether charge, Wald (1993) : SW = f ′(Rh)S. Various methods to define global charges : Euclidean methods plus : – Start with eg Kerr (M, a, Jordan Frame). Go to the Einstein frame (where no geodesic motion) : at ∞, M →

Obtain the global charges as Mi = f ′

NB : OK with Deser-Tekin (2002), not Deser-Tekin (2007) – Ashtekar-Magnon (1984) method (see also, ND, J Katz, 2006) applied to f(R) in JF yields Mconf = f ′

  • back to BH thermodynamics

Wald’s entropy : SW = f ′(Rhorizon)SB ; (SB = A/4) Global charges : Mi = f ′(R∞)M , Ji = f ′(R∞)J First law of BH thermodynamics holds : T dSW = dMi − ΩdJi ; because f ′(Rhorizon) = f ′(R∞) Remarks : – Could this condition be a way to prove uniqueness of Kerr for all f(R) theories ? – Mi = M : indication that SEP is violated ? If yes, what is the link between Mi and Minertial as defined in PPN formalism ?? (where Minertial − M is tested with Nordvedt η parameter : η = 4β − γ − 3 = 4 − 1/2 − 3 = 1/2 if f(R) potential can be ignored (Damour Esposito-Farese, 92)
