Time evolution of the local gravitational parameters and gravitational wave polarizations in a relativistic MOND theory

Abstract

The recently proposed Skordis-Złośnik theory is the first relativistic MOND theory that can recover the success of the standard $\Lambda$CDM model at matching observations of the cosmic microwave background. This paper aims to revisit the Newtonian and MOND approximations and the gravitational wave analysis of the theory. For the local gravitational parameters, we show that one could obtain both time-varying effective Newtonian gravitational \textit{constant} $G_{\text{N}}$ and time-varying characteristic MOND acceleration scale $a_{\text{MOND}}$, by relaxing the static assumption extensively adopted in the literature. Specially, we successfully demonstrate how to reproduce the redshift dependence of $a_{\text{MOND}}$ observed in the \textit{Magneticum} cold dark matter simulations. For the gravitational waves, we show that there are only two tensor polarizations, and reconfirm that its speed is equal to the speed of light.
