    Gravity waves in parity-violating Copernican universes

  • Original language description

    In recent work minimal theories allowing the variation of the cosmological constant, A, by means of a balancing torsion, have been proposed. It was found that such theories contain parity violating homogeneous and isotropic solutions, due to a torsion structure called the Cartan spiral staircase. Their dynamics are controlled by Euler and Pontryagin quasitopological terms in the action. Here we show that such theories predict a dramatically different picture for gravitational wave fluctuations in the parity violating branch. If the dynamics are ruled solely by the Euler-type term, then linear tensor mode perturbations are entirely undetermined, hinting at a new type of gauge invariance. The Pontryagin term not only permits for phenomenologically sounder background solutions (as found in previous literature), but for realistic propagation of gravitational wave modes. These have the general property that the right and left handed gravitational waves propagate with different speeds. More generally they imply modified dispersion relations for the graviton, with both parity violating and non-violating deformations, including an effective mass for both gravitational wave polarizations. We discuss the observational constraints and predictions of these theories.
