The Schwarzschild-de Sitter Metric of Nonlocal $\sqrt{dS}$ Gravity

It is already known that a simple nonlocal de Sitter gravity model, which we denote as $\sqrt{dS}$ gravity, contains an exact vacuum cosmological solution which mimics dark energy and dark matter and is in very good agreement with the standard model of cosmology. This success of $\sqrt{dS}$ gravity motivated us to investigate how it works at lower than cosmic scale -- galactic and the solar system. This paper contains our investigation of the corresponding Schwarzschild-de Sitter metric of the $\sqrt{dS}$ gravity model. To get exact solution, it is necessary to solve the corresponding nonlinear differential equation, what is a very complicated and difficult problem. What we obtained is a solution of linearized equation, which is related to space metric far from the massive body, where gravitational field is weak. The obtained approximate solution is of particular interest for examining the possible role of non-local de Sitter gravity $\sqrt{dS}$ in describing the effects in galactic dynamics that are usually attributed to dark matter. The solution has been tested on the Milky Way and the spiral galaxy M33 and is in good agreement with observational measurements.

On a nonlocal de Sitter gravity

In this paper, we briefly review highlights of nonlocal de Sitter gravity based on the nonlocal term $ \sqrt{R - 2\Lambda}\ \mathcal{F}(\Box)\ \sqrt{R - 2\Lambda }$ in the Einstein-Hilbert action without matter sector. This nonlocal de Sitter gravity model has several exact cosmological FLRW solutions and one of these solutions contains some effects that are usually assigned to dark matter and dark energy. There are also some other interesting and promising properties of this kind of gravity nonlocality. We also review some anisotropic cosmological solutions, and mention the corresponding nonlocal Schwarzschild-de Sitter metric.

Some exact anisotropic cosmological solutions of a simple nonlocal de Sitter gravity

It was shown recently that a very simple nonlocal de Sitter gravity model contains exact vacuum cosmological solution which mimics dark energy and dark matter in flat space. Some other interesting solutions have been also found. In this paper we proceed with finding several new exact cosmological solutions which belong to Bianchi I space. These solutions are simple generalizations of solutions previously found in the FLRW case of the same nonlocal de Sitter gravity model. Obtained results are discussed.

Nonlocal de Sitter gravity and its exact cosmological solutions

This paper is devoted to a simple nonlocal de Sitter gravity model and its exact vacuum cosmological solutions. In the Einstein-Hilbert action with $\Lambda$ term, we introduce nonlocality by the following way: $R - 2 \Lambda = \sqrt{R-2\Lambda}\ \sqrt{R-2\Lambda} \to \sqrt{R-2\Lambda}\ F(\Box)\ \sqrt{R-2\Lambda} ,$ where ${F} (\Box) = 1 + \sum_{n= 1}^{+\infty} \big( f_n \Box^n + f_{-n} \Box^{-n} \big) $ is an analytic function of the d'Alembert-Beltrami operator $\Box$ and its inverse $\Box^{-1}$. By this way, $R$ and $\Lambda$ enter with the same form into nonlocal version as they are in the local one, and nonlocal operator $F(\Box)$ is dimensionless. The corresponding equations of motion for gravitational field $g_{\mu\nu}$ are presented. The first step in finding some exact cosmological solutions is solving the equation $\Box \sqrt{R-2\Lambda} = q \sqrt{R-2\Lambda} , $ where $ q =\zeta \Lambda \quad (\zeta \in \mathbb{R})$ is an eigenvalue and $\sqrt{R-2\Lambda}$ is an eigenfunction of the operator $\Box .$ We presented and discussed several exact cosmological solutions for homogeneous and isotropic universe. One of these solutions mimics effects that are usually assigned to dark matter and dark energy. Some other solutions are examples of the nonsingular bounce ones in flat, closed and open universe. There are also singular and cyclic solutions. All these cosmological solutions are a result of nonlocality and do not exist in the local de Sitter case.

New Cosmological Solutions of a Nonlocal Gravity Model

A nonlocal gravity model (2.1) was introduced and considered recently [49], and two exact cosmological solutions in flat space were presented. The first solution is related to some radiation effects generated by nonlocal dynamics on dark energy background, while the second one is a nonsingular time symmetric bounce. In the present paper we investigate other possible exact cosmological solutions and find some the new ones in nonflat space. Used nonlocal gravity dynamics can change background topology. To solve the corresponding eqations of motion, we first look for a solution of the eigenvalue problem $\Box (R -4Λ) = q\ (R - 4Λ) .$ We also discuss possible extension of this model with nonlocal operator symmetric under $\Box \longleftrightarrow \Box^{-1}$ and its connection with another interesting nonlocal gravity model.

Variations of Infinite Derivative Modified Gravity

We consider nonlocal modified Einstein gravity without matter, where nonlocal term has the form $P(R) F(\Box) Q(R)$. For this model, in this paper we give the derivation of the equations of motion in detail. This is not an easy task and presented derivation should be useful to a researcher who wants to investigate nonlocal gravity. Also, we present the second variation of the related Einstein-Hilbert modified action and basics of gravity perturbations.

On Nonlocal Modified Gravity and its Cosmological Solutions

During hundred years of General Relativity (GR), many significant gravitational phenomena have been predicted and discovered. General Relativity is still the best theory of gravity. Nevertheless, some (quantum) theoretical and (astrophysical and cosmological) phenomenological difficulties of modern gravity have been motivation to search more general theory of gravity than GR. As a result, many modifications of GR have been considered. One of promising recent investigations is Nonlocal Modified Gravity. In this article we present a brief review of some nonlocal gravity models with their cosmological solutions, in which nonlocality is expressed by an analytic function of the d'Alembert-Beltrami operator $\Box$. Some new results are also presented.

Cosmological solutions in modified gravity with monomial nonlocality

We consider cosmological properties of modified gravity with nonlocal term $ R^p\mathcal{F}(\Box)R^q$ in its Lagrangian. Equations of motion are presented. For the flat FLRW metric, and some particular values of natural numbers $p$ and $q$ cosmological solutions of the form $a(t)= C e^{- \frac γ{12}t^2}$ are found.

Some Cosmological Solutions of a Nonlocal Modified Gravity

We consider nonlocal modification of the Einstein theory of gravity in framework of the pseudo-Riemannian geometry. The nonlocal term has the form $\mathcal{H}(R) \mathcal{F}(\Box)\mathcal {G}(R)$, where $\mathcal{H}$ and $\mathcal{G}$ are differentiable functions of the scalar curvature $R,$ and $ \mathcal{F}(\Box)= \displaystyle \sum_{n =0}^{\infty} f_{n}\Box^{n}$ is an analytic function of the d'Alambert operator $\Box .$ Using calculus of variations of the action functional, we derived the corresponding equations of motion. The variation of action is induced by variation of the gravitational field, which is the metric tensor $g_{μν}$. Cosmological solutions are found for the case when the Ricci scalar $R$ is constant.

A New Model of Nonlocal Modified Gravity

We consider a new modified gravity model with nonlocal term of the form $R^{-1} \mathcal{F}(\Box) R. $ This kind of nonlocality is motivated by investigation of applicability of a few unusual ansätze to obtain some exact cosmological solutions. In particular, we find attractive and useful quadratic ansatz $\Box R = q R^{2}.$

On Modified Gravity

We consider some aspects of nonlocal modified gravity, where nonlocality is of the type $R \mathcal{F}(\Box) R$. In particular, using ansatz of the form $\Box R = c R^γ,$ we find a few $R(t)$ solutions for the spatially flat FLRW metric. There are singular and nonsingular bounce solutions. For late cosmic time, scalar curvature R(t) is in low regime and scale factor a(t) is decelerated. R (t) = 0 satisfies all equations when k = -1.
