FAILURES OF HOMOGENEOUS & ISOTROPIC COSMOLOGIES IN EXTENDED QUASI-DILATON MASSIVE GRAVITY (arXiv:1706.01872) Saurabh Kumar, Department of Physics, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio. Co-authors: Stefano Anselmi (IAP & Observatoire de Paris), Diana Lopez-Nacir (CERN), Glenn Starkman (CWRU).

FROM MASSLESS (GR) TO MASSIVE GRAVITY (dRGT) Einstein’s GR is a massless spin-2 theory. Linearized GR + Mass Term (Fierz-Pauli Action): 5 degrees of freedom (2 in GR). vDVZ Discontinuity: Take m 0, you can’t recover GR! (van Dam & Veltman Nucl. Phys. B 1970, Zakharov JETP Lett. 1970) SAURABH KUMAR (CWRU) TeVPA August 2017

Non-linear Kinetic but Linear Potential Term: leads to BD Ghost (6th dof). (Boulware, Deser PRD 1972) dRGT theory is ghost free in all orders of interactions: (de Rham, Gabadadze & Tolley PRL 2011, Hassan & Rosen PRL 2012) SAURABH KUMAR (CWRU) TeVPA August 2017

FLRW SOLUTIONS FROM dRGT dRGT theory does not admit FLAT FLRW solutions! (Guido D’Amico et.al. PRD 2011) Alternatives: Bi-metric gravity, (Hassan and Rosen, JHEP 2012) Graviton Mass a field, (Huang et.al, PRD 2012) Background coupled to a Scalar Field: Q-Dilaton Field (Quasi-Dilaton Massive Gravity (QDMG)) (Guido D’Amico et.al. PRD 2013, R. Gannouji et.al. PRD 2013) Extended Quasi-Dilaton Massive Gravity (EQDMG) (Felice & Mukhoyama, Phys. Lett. B, 2014) SAURABH KUMAR (CWRU) TeVPA August 2017

SYMMETRIES FREE PARAMETERS Scaling Symmetry FREE PARAMETERS mg : Mass of Graviton ω : Kinetic Coupling (dimensionless) α3, α4 : Coupling constants (dimensionless) SAURABH KUMAR (CWRU) TeVPA August 2017

SUCCESS We reproduce observed expansion history. (Anselmi et.al. PRD 2015) FAILURE Pathology: Scalar Perturbations are unstable: Wrong sign kinetic term for large wavenumbers. (Gumrukcuoglu et. al. PRD 2013, Guido D’Amico et.al. PRD 2013) Dark Energy  Matter   Radiation SAURABH KUMAR (CWRU) TeVPA August 2017

EXTENDED QDMG Pathology can be treated by introducing a new coupling term to the fiducial metric. Felice & Mukhoyama, Phys. Lett. B, 2014 SAURABH KUMAR (CWRU) TeVPA August 2017

EQDMG: A CLOSER LOOK (arXiv:1706.01872) BD GHOST Is the ghost exorcised by construction? FIXED-POINT ANALYSIS LINEAR STABILITY Dynamical variables (H, Ωm,r,DE) attain Fixed Points in future. Fixed points are attractors. EVOLUTION Numerical investigation of stability. Copeland et.al. Int.J.Mod.Phys. 2006 SAURABH KUMAR (CWRU) TeVPA August 2017

FIXED-POINT SOLUTIONS STABILITY ANALYSIS Copeland et.al. Int.J.Mod.Phys. 2006 SAURABH KUMAR (CWRU) TeVPA August 2017

I. KEY RESULTS (arXiv:1706.01872) Fixed-point solutions are de Sitter. Standard stability analysis is inadequate because of divergences in the Jacobian. We propose an improved approach. Linear stability does not guarantee attainability of fixed- point solutions. There exists an unavoidable singularity in the theory as the universe evolves towards the fixed point. SAURABH KUMAR (CWRU) TeVPA August 2017

II. KEY RESULTS (arXiv:1706.01872) BD ghost vanishes only at the fixed point. Away from the fixed point, BD ghost can only be avoided after an “awkward” fine tuning of the theory. This is supported by independent studies following ours. (Golovnev et.al. arXiv:1706.07215, Gumrukcuoglu et.al. arXiv:1707.02004, Mukhoyama, arXiv:1309.2146v2) SAURABH KUMAR (CWRU) TeVPA August 2017

CONCLUSIONS dRGT theory doesn’t allow flat FLRW solutions. All homogeneous & isotropic solutions are unstable under perturbations. (Felice et.al., PRL 2012) Existing alternatives (Bi-metric gravity, dRGT + Scalar Field) are problematic too. (Lagos & Ferreira, JCAP 2014) Recent candidates (minimal theory of massive gravity (Felice et.al. arXiv:1701.01581), new quasi-dilaton theory (Mukhoyama, JCAP 2014)) claim to remedy the above problems but need further study. Despite a theoretical triumph, Massive Gravity is not doing well in phenomenology. Cosmic acceleration problem is still wide open. SAURABH KUMAR (CWRU) TeVPA August 2017
