| The main features of TeVeS can be summarized as follows:
| |
| * As it is derived from the [[action principle]], TeVeS respects [[conservation laws]];
| |
| * In the [[weak-field approximation]] of the spherically symmetric, static solution, TeVeS reproduces the MoND acceleration formula;
| |
| * TeVeS avoids the problems of earlier attempts to generalize MoND, such as [[superluminal]] propagation;
| |
| * As it is a relativistic theory it can accommodate [[gravitational lens]]ing.
| |
| | |
| The theory is based on the following ingredients:
| |
| * A unit [[vector field]];
| |
| * A dynamical [[scalar field]];
| |
| * A nondynamical scalar field;
| |
| * A matter [[Lagrangian]] constructed using an alternate [[Metric (mathematics)|metric]];
| |
| * An arbitrary dimensionless function.
| |
| | |
| These components are combined into a relativistic [[Lagrangian density]], which forms the basis of TeVeS theory.
| |
| | |
| ==Details==
| |
| | |
| MoND<ref name=Milgrom1983/> is a phenomenological modification of the Newtonian acceleration law. In [[Newtonian gravity]] theory, the gravitational acceleration in the spherically symmetric, static field of a point mass <math>M</math> at distance <math>r</math> from the source can be written as
| |
| | |
| <math>
| |
| a = -\frac{GM}{r^2},
| |
| </math>
| |
| | |
| where <math>G</math> is [[Newton's constant]] of gravitation. The corresponding force acting on a test mass <math>m</math> is
| |
| | |
| <math>
| |
| F=ma.
| |
| </math>
| |
| | |
| To account for the anomalous rotation curves of spiral galaxies, Milgrom proposed a modification of this force law in the form
| |
| | |
| <math>
| |
| F=\mu(a/a_0)ma,
| |
| </math>
| |
| | |
| where <math>\mu(x)</math> is an arbitrary function subject to the following conditions:
| |
| | |
| <math>
| |
| \mu(x)=1~\mathrm{if}~|x|\gg 1,
| |
| </math>
| |
| | |
| <math>
| |
| \mu(x)=x~\mathrm{if}~|x|\ll 1.
| |
| </math>
| |
| | |
| In this form, MoND is not a complete theory: for instance, it violates the law of [[Momentum#Conservation of linear momentum|momentum conservation]].
| |
| | |
| However, such conservation laws are automatically satisfied for physical theories that are derived using an action principle. This led Bekenstein<ref name=Bekenstein2004/> to a first, nonrelativistic generalization of MoND. This theory, called [[AQUAL]] (for A QUAdratic Lagrangian) is based on the Lagrangian
| |
| | |
| <math>
| |
| {\mathcal L}=-\frac{a_0^2}{8\pi G}f\left(\frac{|\nabla\Phi|^2}{a_0^2}\right)-\rho\Phi,
| |
| </math>
| |
| | |
| where <math>\Phi</math> is the Newtonian gravitational potential, <math>\rho</math> is the mass density, and <math>f(y)</math> is a dimensionless function.
| |
| | |
| In the case of a spherically symmetric, static gravitational field, this Lagrangian reproduces the MoND acceleration law after the substitutions <math>a=-\nabla\Phi</math> and <math>\mu(\sqrt{y})=df(y)/dy</math> are made.
| |
| | |
| Bekenstein further found that AQUAL can be obtained as the nonrelativistic limit of a relativistic field theory. This theory is written in terms of a Lagrangian that contains, in addition to the [[Einstein-Hilbert action]] for the metric field <math>g_{\mu\nu}</math>, terms pertaining to a unit vector field <math>u^\alpha</math> and two scalar fields <math>\sigma</math> and <math>\phi</math>, of which only <math>\phi</math> is dynamical. The TeVeS action, therefore, can be written as
| |
| | |
| <math>
| |
| S_\mathrm{TeVeS}=\int\left({\mathcal L}_g+{\mathcal L}_s+{\mathcal L}_v\right)d^4x.
| |
| </math>
| |
| | |
| The terms in this action include the [[Einstein–Hilbert action|Einstein-Hilbert]] Lagrangian (using a metric signature <math>[+,-,-,-]</math> and setting the speed of light, <math>c=1</math>):
| |
| | |
| <math>
| |
| {\mathcal L}_g=-\frac{1}{16\pi G}R\sqrt{-g},
| |
| </math>
| |
| | |
| where <math>R</math> is the [[Ricci scalar]] and <math>g</math> is the determinant of the metric tensor.
| |
| | |
| The scalar field Lagrangian is
| |
| | |
| <math>
| |
| {\mathcal L}_s=-\frac{1}{2}\left[\sigma^2h^{\alpha\beta}\partial_\alpha\phi\partial_\beta\phi+\frac{1}{2}\frac{G}{l^2}\sigma^4F(kG\sigma^2)\right]\sqrt{-g},
| |
| </math>
| |
| | |
| with <math>h^{\alpha\beta}=g^{\alpha\beta}-u^\alpha u^\beta</math>, <math>l</math> is a constant length, <math> k</math> is the dimensionless parameter and <math>F</math> an unspecified dimensionless function; while the vector field Lagrangian is
| |
| | |
| <math>
| |
| {\mathcal L}_v=-\frac{K}{32\pi G}\left[g^{\alpha\beta}g^{\mu\nu}(B_{\alpha\mu}B_{\beta\nu})+2\frac{\lambda}{K}(g^{\mu\nu}u_\mu u_\nu-1)\right]\sqrt{-g}
| |
| </math>
| |
| | |
| where <math>B_{\alpha\beta}=\partial_\alpha u_\beta-\partial_\beta u_\alpha</math>, while <math>K</math> is a dimensionless parameter. <math> k</math> and <math>K</math> are respectively called the scalar and vector coupling constants of the theory. The consistency between the [[Gravitoelectromagnetism]] of the TeVeS theory and that predicted and measured by the [[general relativity]] leads to <math>K=\frac{k}{2\pi}</math>

| In particular, <math>{\mathcal L}_v</math> incorporates a Lagrange multiplier term that guarantees that the vector field remains a unit vector field.
| |
| | |
| The function <math>F</math> in TeVeS is unspecified.
| |
| | |
| TeVeS also introduces a "physical metric" in the form
| |
| | |
| <math>
| |
| {\hat g}^{\mu\nu}=e^{2\phi}g^{\mu\nu}-2u^\alpha u^\beta\sinh(2\phi).

| |
| </math>
| |
| | |
| where covariant derivatives with respect to <math>{\hat g}_{\mu\nu}</math> are denoted by <math>|</math>.
| |
| | |
| TeVeS solves problems associated with earlier attempts to generalize MoND, such as superluminal propagation. In his paper, Bekenstein also investigated the consequences of TeVeS in relation to gravitational lensing and cosmology.
| |
| | |
| ==Problems and criticisms==
| |
| In addition to its ability to account for the [[galaxy rotation curve|flat rotation curves]] of galaxies (which is what MoND was originally designed to address), TeVeS is claimed to be consistent with a range of other phenomena, such as [[gravitational lensing]] and cosmological observations.
