Gravity with Explicit Diffeomorphism Breaking
arXiv:2104.05879 · doi:10.3390/sym13040660
Abstract
Modified theories of gravity that explicitly break diffeomorphism invariance have been used for over a decade to explore open issues related to quantum gravity, dark energy, and dark matter. At the same time, the Standard-Model Extension (SME) has been widely used as a phenomenological framework in investigations of spacetime symmetry breaking. Until recently, it was thought that the SME was suitable only for theories with spontaneous spacetime symmetry breaking due to consistency conditions stemming from the Bianchi identities. However, it has recently been shown that, particularly with matter couplings included, the consistency conditions can also be satisfied in theories with explicit breaking. An overview of how this is achieved is presented, and two examples are examined. The first is massive gravity, which includes a nondynamical background tensor. The second is a model based on a low-energy limit of Ho\v rava gravity, where spacetime has a physically preferred foliation. In both cases, bounds on matter--gravity interactions that explicitly break diffeomorphisms are obtained using the SME.
