abstract

In the non-relativistic theory of gravitation recently proposed by Horava, the Hamiltonian constraint is not a local equation satisfied at each spatial point but an equation integrated over a whole space. The global Hamiltonian constraint is less restrictive than its local version, and allows a richer set of solutions than in general relativity. We show that a component which behaves like pressureless dust emerges as an "integration constant" of dynamical equations and momentum constraint equations. Consequently, classical solutions to the infrared limit of Horava-Lifshitz gravity can mimic general relativity plus cold dark matter.

Anisotropic quantum universe in Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity

gr-qc · 2025-05-22 · conditional · novelty 6.0

In the small-universe limit of Horava-Lifshitz gravity, the Wheeler-DeWitt equation separates and the anisotropy wave functions become normalizable harmonic-oscillator states, predicting small initial anisotropies set by the coupling g_B.
