In accordance with current models of the accelerating Universe as a spacetime with a positive cosmological constant, new results about a cosmological upper bound for the area of stable marginally outer trapped surfaces are found taking into account angular momentum, gravitational waves, and matter. Compared to previous results which take into account only some of the aforementioned variables, the bound is found to be tighter, giving a concrete limit to the size of black holes especially relevant in the early Universe.

A new sufficient condition for photons emitted near future null infinity to reach future null infinity is derived by studying null geodesics in the Bondi coordinates in asymptotically flat spacetimes. In our previous works [M. Amo, Phys. Rev. D 104, 064025 (2021).PRVDAQ2470-001010.1103/PhysRevD.104.064025; M. Amo, Phys. Rev. D 105, 064074 (2022).PRVDAQ2470-001010.1103/PhysRevD.105.064074], such a condition was established for photons emitted in outward or tangential directions to constant radial surfaces. This paper improves our previous result by including photons emitted in inward directions. In four dimensions, imposing the same assumptions on the metric functions as previously, we prove that photons reach future null infinity if their initial values of |dr/du| are smaller than a certain quantity, where r and u are the radial and retarded time coordinates, respectively. This quantity is determined by the asymptotic properties of the metric and is connected to the conjectured maximal luminosity. In higher dimensions, photons emitted with dr/du>-(1-1/3)≈-0.423 are shown to reach future null infinity without the assumptions on the metric functions.

In this paper we study various dynamical aspects of the AdS/BCFT correspondence in higher dimensions. We study properties of holographic stress energy tensor by analyzing the metric perturbation in the gravity dual. We also calculate the stress energy tensor for a locally excited state on a half plane in a free scalar CFT. Both of them satisfy a reflective boundary condition that is expected for any BCFTs. We also study the behavior of the scalar field perturbation in the AdS/BCFT setup and show that they also show complete reflections. Moreover, we find that the entanglement entropy of a BCFT computed from the AdS/BCFT matched with that calculated from the Island formula, which supports the Island/BCFT correspondence in higher dimensions. Finally we show how we can calculate one point functions in a BCFT in our gravity dual.

We discuss a field transformation from fields ψa to other fields φi that involves derivatives, φi = φi(ψa, αψa, xμ), and derive conditions for this transformation to be invertible, primarily focusing on the simplest case that the transformation maps between a pair of fields and involves up to their first derivatives. General field transformation of this type changes the number of degrees of freedom; hence, for the transformation to be invertible, it must satisfy certain degeneracy conditions so that additional degrees of freedom do not appear. Our derivation of necessary and sufficient conditions for invertible transformation is based on the method of characteristics, which is used to count the number of independent solutions of a given differential equation. As applications of the invertibility conditions, we show some non-trivial examples of the invertible field transformations with derivatives, and also give a rigorous proof that a simple extension of the disformal transformation involving a second derivative of the scalar field is not invertible.

We investigate the behavior of null geodesics near future null infinity in asymptotically flat spacetimes. In particular, we focus on the asymptotic behavior of null geodesics that correspond to worldlines of photons initially emitted in the directions tangential to the constant radial surfaces in the Bondi coordinates. The analysis is performed for general dimensions, and the difference between the four-dimensional cases and the higher-dimensional cases is stressed. In four dimensions, some assumptions are required to guarantee the null geodesics to reach future null infinity, in addition to the conditions of asymptotic flatness. Without these assumptions, gravitational waves may prevent photons from reaching null infinity. In higher dimensions, by contrast, such assumptions are not necessary, and gravitational waves do not affect the asymptotic behavior of null geodesics.

We define an attractive gravity probe surface (AGPS) as a compact 2-surface
$S_\alpha$ with positive mean curvature $k$ satisfying $r^a D_a k / k^2 \ge
\alpha$ (for a constant $\alpha>-1/2$) in the local inverse mean curvature
flow, where $r^a D_a k$ is the derivative of $k$ in the outward unit normal
direction. For asymptotically flat spaces, any AGPS is proved to satisfy the
areal inequality $A_\alpha \le 4\pi [ ( 3+4\alpha)/(1+2\alpha) ]^2(Gm)^2$,
where $A_{\alpha}$ is the area of $S_\alpha$ and $m$ is Arnowitt-Deser-Misner
(ADM) mass. Equality is realized when the space is isometric to the
$t=$constant hypersurface of the Schwarzschild spacetime and $S_\alpha$ is an
$r=\mathrm{constant}$ surface with $r^a D_a k / k^2 = \alpha$. We adapt the two
methods, the inverse mean curvature flow and the conformal flow. Therefore, our
result is applicable to the case where $S_\alpha$ has multiple components. For
anti-de Sitter (AdS) spaces, the similar inequality is derived, but the proof
is performed only by using the inverse mean curvature flow. We also discuss the
cases with asymptotically locally AdS spaces.

We formulate explicitly the necessary and sufficient conditions for the local invertibility of a field transformation involving derivative terms. Our approach is to apply the method of characteristics of differential equations, by treating such a transformation as differential equations that give new variables in terms of original ones. The obtained results generalise the well-known and widely used inverse function theorem. Taking into account that field transformations are ubiquitous in modern physics and mathematics, our criteria for invertibility will find many useful applications.

We show that in the quadratic curvature theory of gravity, or simply $R_{\mu
\nu} ^2$ gravity, the tree-level unitariy bound (tree unitarity) is violated in
the UV region but an analog for $S$-matrix unitarity ($SS^{\dagger} = 1$) is
satisfied. This theory is renormalizable, and hence the failure of tree
unitarity is a counter example of Llewellyn Smith's conjecture on the relation
between them. We have recently proposed a new conjecture that $S$-matrix
unitarity gives the same conditions as renormalizability. We verify that
$S$-matrix unitarity holds in the matter-graviton scattering at tree level in
the $R_{\mu \nu} ^2$ gravity, demonstrating our new conjecture.

We study the properties of the loosely trapped surface (LTS) and the dynamically transversely trapping surface (DTTS) in Einstein-Maxwell systems. These concepts of surfaces were proposed by four of the present authors in order to characterize strong gravity regions. We prove the Penrose-like inequalities for the area of LTSs/DTTSs. Interestingly, although the naively expected upper bound for the area is that of the photon sphere of a Reissner-Nordström black hole with the same mass and charge, the obtained inequalities include corrections represented by the energy density or pressure/tension of electromagnetic fields. Due to this correction, the Penrose-like inequality for the area of LTSs is tighter than the naively expected one. We also evaluate the correction term numerically in the Majumdar-Papapetrou two-black-hole spacetimes.

A dynamically transversely trapping surface (DTTS) is a new concept for an extension of a photon sphere that appropriately represents a strong gravity region and has close analogy with a trapped surface. We study formation of a marginally DTTS in time-symmetric, conformally flat initial data with two black holes, with a spindle-shaped source, and with a ring-shaped source, and clarify that C ≲ 6π GM describes the condition for the DTTS formation well, where C is the circumference and M is the mass of the system. This indicates that an understanding analogous to the hoop conjecture for the horizon formation is possible. Exploring the ring system further, we find configurations where a marginally DTTS with the torus topology forms inside a marginally DTTS with the spherical topology, without being hidden by an apparent horizon. There also exist configurations where a marginally trapped surface with the torus topology forms inside a marginally trapped surface with the spherical topology, showing a further similarity between DTTSs and trapped surfaces.

We propose new concepts, a dynamically transversely trapping surface (DTTS) and a marginally DTTS, as indicators for a strong gravity region. A DTTS is defined as a two-dimensional closed surface on a spacelike hypersurface such that photons emitted from arbitrary points on it in transverse directions are acceleratedly contracted in time, and a marginally DTTS is reduced to the photon sphere in spherically symmetric cases. (Marginally) DTTSs have a close analogy with (marginally) trapped surfaces in many aspects. After preparing the method of solving for a marginally DTTS in the time-symmetric initial data and the momentarily stationary axisymmetric initial data, some examples of marginally DTTSs are numerically constructed for systems of two black holes in the Brill-Lindquist initial data and in the Majumdar-Papapetrou spacetimes. Furthermore, the area of a DTTS is proved to satisfy the Penrose-like inequality A0 ≤ 4π (3GM)2, under some assumptions. Differences and connections between a DTTS and the other two concepts proposed by us previously, a loosely trapped surface [Prog. Theor. Exp. Phys. 2017, 033E01 (2017)] and a static/stationary transversely trapping surface [Prog. Theor. Exp. Phys. 2017, 063E01 (2017)], are also discussed. A (marginally) DTTS provides us with a theoretical tool to significantly advance our understanding of strong gravity fields. Also, since DTTSs are located outside the event horizon, they could possibly be related with future observations of strong gravity regions in dynamical evolutions.

We investigate the relation between S-matrix unitarity (SS†=1) and renormalizability in theories with negative-norm states. The relation has been confirmed in many field theories, including gauge theories and Einstein gravity, by analyzing the unitarity bound, which follows from the S-matrix unitarity and the norm positivity. On the other hand, renormalizable theories with a higher-derivative kinetic term do not necessarily satisfy the unitarity bound because of the negative-norm states. In these theories it is not known whether the S-matrix unitarity provides a nontrivial constraint related to the renormalizability. In this paper, by relaxing the assumption of norm positivity we derive a bound on scattering amplitudes weaker than the unitarity bound, which may be used as a consistency requirement for S-matrix unitarity. We demonstrate in scalar field models with a higher-derivative kinetic term that the weaker bound and the renormalizability imply identical constraints.

Equations of divergence type in static spacetimes play a significant role in the proof of uniqueness theorems of black holes. We generalize the divergence equation originally discovered by Robinson in four dimensional vacuum spacetimes into several directions. We find that the deviation from spherical symmetry is encoded in a symmetric trace-free tensor H ij on a static timeslice. This tensor is the crux for the construction of the desired divergence equation, which allows us to conclude the uniqueness of the Schwarzschild black hole without using Smarr's integration mass formula. In Einstein-Maxwell(-dilaton) theory, we apply the maximal principle for a number of divergence equations to prove the uniqueness theorem of static black holes. In higher dimensional vacuum spacetimes, a central obstruction for applicability of the current proof is the integration of the -dimensional scalar curvature over the horizon cross-section, which has been evaluated to be a topological constant by the Gauss-Bonnet theorem for n = 4. Nevertheless, it turns out that the -dimensional symmetric and traceless tensor H ij is still instrumental for the modification of the uniqueness proof based upon the positive mass theorem, as well as for the derivation of the Penrose-type inequality.

We propose a new concept, the transversely trapping surface (TTS), as an extension of the static photon surface characterizing the strong gravity region of a static/stationary spacetime in terms of photon behavior. The TTS is defined as a static/stationary timelike surface S whose spatial section is a closed two-surface, such that arbitrary photons emitted tangentially to S from arbitrary points on S propagate on or toward the inside of S. We study the properties of TTSs for static spacetimes and axisymmetric stationary spacetimes. In particular, the area A0 of a TTS is proved to be bounded as A0 ≤ 4π(3GM)2 under certain conditions, where G is the Newton constant and M is the total mass. The connection between the TTS and the loosely trapped surface proposed by us [Prog. Theor. Exp. Phys. 2017, 033E01 (2017)] is also examined.

Abstract: We obtain the effective theory for the non-linear dynamics of black branes — both neutral and charged, in asymptotically flat or Anti-deSitter spacetimes — to leading order in the inverse-dimensional expansion. We find that black branes evolve as viscous fluids, but when they settle down they are more naturally viewed as solutions of an elastic soap-bubble theory. The two views are complementary: the same variable is regarded in one case as the energy density of the fluid, in the other as the deformation of the elastic membrane. The large-D theory captures finite-wavelength phenomena beyond the conventional reach of hydrodynamics. For asymptotically flat charged black branes (either Reissner-Nordstrom or p-brane-charged black branes) it yields the non-linear evolution of the Gregory-Laflamme instability at large D and its endpoint at stable non-uniform black branes. For Reissner-Nordstrom AdS black branes we find that sound perturbations do not propagate (have purely imaginary frequency) when their wavelength is below a certain charge-dependent value. We also study the polarization of black branes induced by an external electric field.

We study the renormalizability in theories of a self-interacting Lifshitz scalar field. We show that although the statement of power-counting is true at one-loop order, in generic cases where the scalar field is dimensionless, an infinite number of counterterms are involved in the renormalization procedure. This problem can be avoided by imposing symmetries, the shift symmetry in the present paper, which allow only a finite number of counterterms to appear. The symmetry requirements might have important implications for the construction of matter field sectors in the Hořava-Lifshitz gravity.

The Dvali–Gabadadze–Porrati brane-world model provides a possible approach to address the late-time cosmic acceleration. However, it has subsequently been pointed out that a ghost instability will arise on the self-accelerating branch. Here, we carefully investigate whether this ghost problem could be possibly cured by introducing the Gauss–Bonnet term in the five-dimensional bulk action, a natural generalization to the Dvali–Gabadadze–Porrati model. Our analysis is carried out for a background where a de Sitter brane is embedded in an anti–de Sitter bulk. Our result shows that the ghost excitations cannot be avoided even in this modified model.

Confusion has arisen regarding the implication of this result for the previous works, which established that f(T) gravity is pathological due to superluminal propagation, local acausality, and nonunique time evolution. We clarify that the existence of the "remnant group" does not rid the theory of these various problems but, instead, strongly supports it.

The method of characteristics is a key tool for studying consistency of equations of motion; it allows issues such as predictability, maximal propagation speed, superluminality, unitarity and acausality to be addressed without requiring explicit solutions. We review this method and its application to massive gravity (mGR) theories to show the limitations of these models' physical viability: Among their problems are loss of unique evolution, superluminal signals, matter coupling inconsistencies and micro-acausality (propagation of signals around local closed time-like curves (CTCs)/closed causal curves (CCCs)). We extend previous no-go results to the entire three-parameter range of mGR theories. It is also argued that bimetric models suffer a similar fate.

We analyze a spacetime structure on a new brane configuration constructed recently in the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati braneworld context. The brane, embedded on a five-dimensional bubble of nothing, has a wormhole structure. It is an exact solution without any matter fields, and thus the energy conditions for matter fields are trivially satisfied. We see that, under the traversability condition, the size of the bubble should be larger than 1010cm or so.

We construct exact solutions with the bubble of nothing in the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati braneworld model. The configuration with a single brane can be constructed, unlike in the Randall-Sundrum braneworld model. The geometry on the single brane looks like the Einstein-Rosen bridge. We also discuss the junction of multibranes. Surprisingly, even without any artificial matter fields on the branes such as three-dimensional tension of the codimension-two objects, two branes can be connected in certain configurations. We investigate solutions of multibranes too. The presence of solutions may indicate the semiclassical instability of the models. © 2014 American Physical Society.

We analyze causal structures in Gauss-Bonnet gravity. It is known that Gauss-Bonnet gravity potentially has superluminal propagation of gravitons due to its noncanonical kinetic terms. In a theory with superluminal modes, an analysis of causality based on null curves makes no sense, and thus, we need to analyze them in a different way. In this paper, using the method of the characteristics, we analyze the causal structure in Gauss-Bonnet gravity. We have the result that, on a Killing horizon, gravitons can propagate in the null direction tangent to the Killing horizon. Therefore, a Killing horizon can be a causal edge as in the case of general relativity; i.e. a Killing horizon is the "event horizon" in the sense of causality. We also analyze causal structures on nonstationary solutions with (D-2)-dimensional maximal symmetry, including spherically symmetric and flat spaces. If the geometrical null energy condition, RABNANB≥0 for any null vector NA, is satisfied, the radial velocity of gravitons must be less than or equal to that of light. However, if the geometrical null energy condition is violated, gravitons can propagate faster than light. Hence, on an evaporating black hole where the geometrical null energy condition is expected not to hold, classical gravitons can escape from the "black hole" defined with null curves. That is, the causal structures become nontrivial. It may be one of the possible solutions for the information loss paradox of evaporating black holes. © 2014 American Physical Society.

We show the existence of physical superluminal modes and acausality in the Brans-Dicke type of extension of teleparallel gravity that includes F(T) gravity and teleparallel dark energy as special cases. We derive the characteristic hypersurface for the extra degrees of freedom in the theory, thereby showing that the time evolution is not unique and closed causal curves can appear. Furthermore, we present a concrete disastrous solution in Bianchi type I spacetime, in which the anisotropy in expansion can be any function of time, and thus anisotropy can emerge suddenly, a simple demonstration that the theory is physically problematic. © 2014 American Physical Society.

The brane-world scenario provides an intriguing possibility to explore the phenomenological cosmology implied by string/M theory. In this paper, we consider a modified Randall-Sundrum single brane model with two natural generalizations: a Gauss-Bonnet term in the five-dimensional bulk action as well as an induced gravity term in the four-dimensional brane action, which are the leading-order corrections to the Randall-Sundrum model. We study the influence of these combined effects on the evolution of the primordial gravitational waves generated during an extreme slow-roll inflation on the brane. The background, for the early inflationary era, is then modeled through a de Sitter brane embedded within an anti-de Sitter bulk. In this framework, we show that both effects tend to suppress the Randall-Sundrum enhancement of the amplitude of the tensor perturbations at relatively high energies. Moreover, the Gauss-Bonnet effect, relative to standard general relativity, will abruptly enhance the tensor-to-scalar ratio and break the standard consistency relation at high energies, which cannot be evaded by invoking the induced gravity effect, even though the induced gravity strength would mildly counterbalance these significant changes at high energies. We note that the brane-world model with or without the induced gravity effect fulfills the consistency relation. Finally, we discuss some implications of the observational constraints. © 2014 American Physical Society.

We show that the Stephenson-Kilmister-Yang (SKY) equation combined with Camenzind's matter current term naturally provides the cosmological constant and dark radiation as integration constants of the Stephenson-Kilmister-Yang- Camenzind (SKYC) field equation. To characterize the property of the dark radiation, we develop a method to separate it from the ordinary radiation. We find a special property of Camenzind's matter current, namely that the solution space for radiation in fact belongs to that of the vacuum solution of the SKY equation. We also find that this matter current does not obey the conservation condition suggested by Kilmister. Finally, we discuss the possible role of dark radiation emergent from the SKYC theory in recent cosmic microwave background observations and its implications to the inflation scenario. © 2013 American Physical Society.

Massive gravity (mGR) is a 5(= 2. s+. 1) degree of freedom, finite range extension of GR. However, amongst other problems, it is plagued by superluminal propagation, first uncovered via a second order shock analysis. First order mGR shock structures have also been studied, but the existence of superluminal propagation in that context was left open. We present here a concordance of these methods, by an explicit (first order) characteristic matrix computation, which confirms mGR's superluminal propagation as well as acausality. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

We study the Cauchy problem in a special case of nonlinear massive gravity. Despite being ghost free, it has recently been argued that the theory is inherently problematic due to the existence of superluminal shock waves. Furthermore, it is claimed that an acausal characteristic can arise for any choice of background. In order to further understand the causal structure of the theory, we carefully perform a detailed analysis of the characteristic equations and show that the theory does admit a well-posed Cauchy problem, i.e., there exists hypersurfaces that are not a characteristic hypersurface. Puzzles remain regarding the existence of a superluminal propagating mode in both the minimal ghost-free theory that we analyzed, as well as in the full nonlinear massive gravity. That is, our result should not be taken as any indication of the healthiness of the theory. We also give a detailed review of Cauchy-Kovalevskaya theorem and its application in the appendix, which should be useful for investigating causal structures of other theories of gravity. © 2013 IOP Publishing Ltd.

Teleparallel theories of gravity have a long history. They include a special case referred to as the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity (TEGR, also known as GRâ̂¥). Recently this theory has been generalized to f(T) gravity. Tight constraints from observations suggest that f(T) gravity is not as robust as initially hoped. This might hint at hitherto undiscovered problems at the theoretical level. In this work, we point out that a generic f(T) theory can be expected to have certain problems including superluminal propagating modes, the presence of which can be revealed by using the characteristic equations that govern the dynamics in f(T) gravity and/or the Hamiltonian structure of the theory via Dirac constraint analysis. We use several examples from simpler gauge field theories to explain how such superluminal modes could arise. We also point out problems with the Cauchy development of a constant time hypersurface in Friedmann-Lemaître- Roberson-Walker (FLRW) spacetime in f(T) gravity. The time evolution from a FLRW (and as a special case, Minkowski spacetime) initial condition is not unique. © 2013 American Physical Society.

We perform detailed investigation of cosmological perturbations in f(T) theory of gravity coupled with scalar field. Our work emphasizes on the way to gauge fix the theory and we examine all possible modes of perturbations up to second order. The analysis includes pseudoscalar and pseudovector modes in addition to the usual scalar, vector, and tensor modes. We find no gravitational propagating degree of freedom in the scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, as well as pseudovector modes. In addition, we find that the scalar and tensor perturbations have exactly the same form as their counterparts in usual general relativity with scalar field, except that the factor of reduced Planck mass squared Mpl2 = 1/(8πG) that occurs in the latter has now been replaced by an effective time-dependent gravitational coupling - 2(df/dT)\T=T0, with T0 being the background torsion scalar. The absence of extra degrees of freedom of f(T) gravity at second order linear perturbation indicates that f(T) gravity is highly nonlinear. Consequently one cannot conclusively analyze stability of the theory without performing nonlinear analysis that can reveal the propagation of the extra degrees of freedom. © 2013 IOP Publishing Ltd and Sissa Medialab srl.

We study non-linear massive gravity in the spherically symmetric context. Our main motivation is to investigate the effect of helicity-0 mode which remains elusive after analysis of cosmological perturbation around an open Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) universe. The non-linear form of the effective energy-momentum tensor stemming from the mass term is derived for the spherically symmetric case. Only in the special case where the area of the two sphere is not deviated away from the FLRW universe, the effective energy momentum tensor becomes completely the same as that of cosmological constant. This opens a window for discriminating the non-linear massive gravity from general relativity (GR). Indeed, by further solving these spherically symmetric gravitational equations of motion in vacuum to the linear order, we obtain a solution which has an arbitrary time-dependent parameter. In GR, this parameter is a constant and corresponds to the mass of a star. Our result means that Birkhoff's theorem no longer holds in the non-linear massive gravity and suggests that energy can probably be emitted superluminously (with infinite speed) on the self-accelerating background by the helicity-0 mode, which could be a potential plague of this theory. © 2012 IOP Publishing Ltd and Sissa Medialab srl.

We calculate the shape correlations between trispectra in various equilateral non-Gaussian models, including Dirac-Born-Infeld inflation, ghost inflation and Lifshitz scalars, using the full trispectrum as well as the reduced trispectrum. We find that most theoretical models are distinguishable from the shapes of primordial trispectra except for several exceptions where it is difficult to discriminate between the models, such as single field Dirac-Born-Infeld inflation and a Lifshitz scalar model. We introduce an estimator for the amplitude of the trispectrum, gNLequil and relate it to model parameters in various models. Using constraints on gNLequil from WMAP5, we give constraints on the model parameters. © 2012 American Physical Society.

We present a concrete expression for the solution of gravity equations up to the second order in the gradient expansion, and prove that the solution can be extended to any order. The result provides yet another example for analogue of the Vainshtein effect: the nonlinear solution is regular in the limit λ→1 and recovers general relativity coupled to dark matter at low energy. Finally, we propose a definition of nonlinear curvature perturbation R in Hořava-Lifshitz gravity and show that it is conserved up to the first order in the gradient expansion. © 2011 American Physical Society.

A Lifshitz scalar with the dynamical critical exponent z =3 obtains scale-invariant, super-horizon field fluctuations without the need of an inflationary era. Since this mechanism is due to the special scaling of the Lifshitz scalar and persists in the presence of unsuppressed self-couplings, the resulting fluctuation spectrum can deviate from a Gaussian distribution. We study the non-Gaussian nature of the Lifshitz scalar's intrinsic field fluctuations, and show that primordial curvature perturbations sourced from such field fluctuations can have large non-Gaussianity of order fNL = O(100), which will be detected by upcoming CMB observations. We compute the bispectrum and trispectrum of the fluctuations, and discuss their configurations in momentum space. In particular, the bispectrum is found to take various shapes, including the local, equilateral, and orthogonal shapes. Intriguingly, all integrals in the in-in formalism can be performed analytically.

Ghost inflation predicts almost scale-invariant primordial cosmological perturbations with relatively large non-Gaussianity. The bispectrum is known to have a large contribution at the wavenumbers forming an equilateral triangle and the corresponding nonlinear parameter fNLequil is typically of order O(102). In this paper we calculate trispectrum from ghost inflation and show that the corresponding nonlinear parameter τNL is typically of order O(104). We investigate the shape dependence of the trispectrum and see that it has some features different from DBI inflation. Therefore, our result may be useful as a template to distinguish ghost inflation from other models of inflation by future experiments. © 2010 IOP Publishing Ltd and SISSA.

In Hořava-Lifshitz gravity, regularity of a solution requires smoothness of not only the spacetime geometry but also the foliation. As a result, the regularity condition at the center of a star is more restrictive than in general relativity. Assuming that the energy density is a piecewise-continuous, non-negative function of the pressure and that the pressure at the center is positive, we prove that the momentum conservation law is incompatible with the regularity at the center for any spherically symmetric, static configurations. The proof is totally insensitive to the structure of higher spatial curvature terms and, thus, holds for any values of the dynamical critical exponent z. Therefore, we conclude that a spherically symmetric star should include a time-dependent region near the center. This supports the picture that Hořava-Lifshitz gravity does not recover general relativity at low energy but can instead mimic general relativity plus cold dark matter: the cold dark matter accretes toward a star and thus makes the stellar center dynamical. We also comment on the condition under which linear instability of the scalar graviton does not show up. © 2010 The American Physical Society.

In this paper, we point out that the massive gravity theory with a graviton ghost mode in the de Sitter background cannot possess a de Sitter invariant vacuum state. In order to avoid a negative norm state, we must associate the creation operator of the ghost mode with a negative-energy mode function instead of a positive-energy one as the mode function. Namely, we have to adopt a different procedure of quantization for a ghost. When a theory has a symmetry mixing a ghost mode with ordinary nonghost modes, the choice of a ghost mode is not unique. However, the quantization of a ghost is impossible without specifying a choice of ghost mode, which breaks the symmetry. For this reason, the vacuum state cannot respect the symmetry. In the massive gravity theory with a graviton ghost mode in the de Sitter background, the ghost is the helicity-0 mode of the graviton. This ghost mode is mixed with the other helicity graviton modes under the action of de Sitter symmetry. Therefore, there is no de Sitter invariant vacuum in such models. This leads to an interesting possibility that the non-covariant cutoff of the low-energy effective theory may naturally arise. As a result, the instability due to the pair production of a ghost and normal non-ghost particles gets much milder and that the model may escape from being rejected.

We revisit the problem of the helicity-0 ghost mode of a massive graviton in the de Sitter background. In general, the presence of a ghost particle, which has negative energy, drives the vacuum to be unstable through the pair production of ghost particles and ordinary particles. In the case that the vacuum state preserves the de Sitter invariance, the number density created by the pair production inevitably diverges owing to unsuppressed ultraviolet (UV) contributions. In such cases, one can immediately conclude that the model is not viable. However, in the massive gravity theory, we cannot construct a vacuum state that respects the de Sitter invariance. Therefore, the presence of a ghost does not immediately mean the breakdown of the model. Explicitly estimating the number density and the energy density of particles created by the pair production of two conformal scalar particles and one helicity-0 ghost graviton, we find that these densities both diverge. However, since models with a helicity-0 ghost graviton have no de Sitter invariant vacuum state, it is rather natural to consider a UV cutoff scale in the three-dimensional momentum space. Then, even if we take a cutoff scale as large as the Planck scale, the created number density and energy density are well suppressed. In many models, the cutoff scale is smaller than the Planck scale. In such models, the created number density and energy density are negligible as long as only the physics below the cutoff scale is concerned.

We study the ghost of massive graviton in cle Sitter space. In cle Sitter space with Hubble constant H. if a mass of a spin-2 mode m satisfies m 2 < 2H2. the helicity-() mode becomes ghost. In order to explain the dark energy problem by a modification of gravity theory, the low energy effective theory becomes massive gravity theory. Then, the mass of the graviton naively becomes the present. Hubble parameter and the ghost mode appears. First, we attempt to construct a ghost-free model by a modification of DGP braneworld model. We study the possibility of avoiding the appearance of the ghost by slightly modifying the model via the introduction of a second brane. By changing the separation between the branes. we find that we can erase the spin-2 ghost. However, this can be done only at the expense of the appearance of a spin-0 ghost instead. Secondly, we revisit the ghost problem. In general, the presence of a ghost particle, which has negative energy, drives the vacuum to be unstable through pair production of ghost particles and ordinary particles. Explicitly estimating the number density and the energy density of particles created by the pair production of two eonformal scalar particles and one hclicity-0 ghost graviton, we find that these densities both diverge. However, since1 we show that models with helieity-0 ghost graviton have no de Sitter invariant vacuum state, it is rather natural to consider a UV cutoff scale in the three-dimensional momentum space. Then, even if wv take1 the cutoff scale as large as the Planck scale, the created number density and energy density are well suppressed. In many models the cutoff scale is smaller than the Planck scale. In such models the created number density and the energy density are negligibly small as long as only the physics below the cutoff scale is concerned.

This solution has four free parameters which represent radii of and speeds of 51-rotation of the black rings. We use the inverse scattering method. This method needs the seed metric. We also present a systematic method how to construct a seed metric. Using this method, we can probably construct other solutions having many black rings on the two orthogonal planes with or without a black hole at the center.

We study Newtonian cosmological perturbation theory from a field theoretical point of view. We derive a path integral representation for the cosmological evolution of stochastic fluctuations. Our main result is the closed form of the generating functional valid for any initial statistics. Moreover, we extend the renormalization group method proposed by Mataresse and Pietroni to the case of primordial non-Gaussian density and velocity fluctuations. As an application, we calculate the nonlinear propagator and examine how the non-Gaussianity affects the memory of cosmic fields to their initial conditions. It turns out that the non-Gaussianity affect the nonlinear propagator. In the case of positive skewness, the onset of the nonlinearity is advanced with a given comoving wavenumber. On the other hand, the negative skewness gives the opposite result.

We revisit the issue of the stability in the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati model by considering the nucleation of bubbles of the conventional branch within the self-accelerating branch. We construct an instanton describing this process in the thin wall approximation. On one side of the bubble wall, the bulk consists of the exterior of the brane, while on the other side it is the interior. The solution requires the presence of a 2-brane (the bubble wall) which induces the transition. However, we show that this instanton cannot be realized as the thin wall limit of any smooth solution. Once the bubble thickness is resolved, the equations of motion do not allow O(4) symmetric solutions joining the two branches. We conclude that the thin wall instanton is unphysical, and that one cannot have processes connecting the two branches, unless negative tension bubble walls are introduced. This also suggests that the self-accelerating branch does not decay into the conventional branch nucleating bubbles. We comment on other kinds of bubbles that could interpolate between the two branches. © 2007 The American Physical Society.

We study Newtonian cosmological perturbation theory from a field theoretical point of view. We derive a path integral representation for the cosmological evolution of stochastic fluctuations. Our main result is the closed form of the generating functional valid for any initial statistics. Moreover, we extend the renormalization group method proposed by Mataresse and Pietroni to the case of primordial non-Gaussian density and velocity fluctuations. As an application, we calculate the nonlinear propagator and examine how the non-Gaussianity affects the memory of cosmic fields to their initial conditions. It turns out that the non-Gaussianity affects the nonlinear propagator. In the case of positive skewness, the onset of the nonlinearity is advanced with a given comoving wave number. On the other hand, the negative skewness gives the opposite result. © 2007 The American Physical Society.

The brane world model proposed by Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati realizes self-acceleration of the universe. However, it is known that this cosmological solution contains a spin-2 ghost. We study the possibility of avoiding the appearance of the ghost by slightly modifying the model via the introduction of a second brane. First, we consider a simple model without stabilization of the brane separation. By changing the separation between the branes, we find that we can erase the spin-2 ghost. However, this can be done only at the expense of the appearance of a spin-0 ghost instead. We discuss why these two different types of ghosts are correlated. Then, we examine a model with stabilization of the brane separation. Even in this case, we find that the correlation between spin-0 and spin-2 ghosts remains. As a result we find that we cannot avoid the appearance of a ghost by introducing a second brane in the model. © SISSA 2007.

The braneworld model of Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati realizes the self-accelerating universe. However, it is known that this cosmological solution contains a spin-2 ghost.

First we consider a simple model without stabilization of the separation of the brane. By changing the separation between the branes, we find we can erase the spin-2 ghost.

Then, we examine a model with stabilization of the brane separation. Even in this case, we find that the correlation between spin-0and spin-2 ghosts remains. As a result we find we cannot avoid the appearance of ghost by two-branes model.

We discuss gravitational perturbations of de Sitter brane world in the DGP model. In the original DGP model with a self-Accelerating single brane, a ghost-like field appeal's, which is thought to be problematic. To cure this ghost problem keeping the advantage of the self-Acceleration, we propose a two-branes model, which has another boundary brane in the bulk. When the new boundary brane is sufficiently close to the original brane, there is no ghost in this model. Moreover, when the acceleration of the universe is solely due to the modification of gravity without the aid of dark energy, the model is free from ghost irrespective of the position of the new boundary brane.
