In the framework of Macroscopic gravity (MG), a covariant averaging procedure, this noncommutativity gives averaged field equations with an additional correction term known as back-reaction. It is important to explore whether such a term, even if known to be small, may or may not cause any systematic effect for precision cosmology. In this work, we explore the application of the MG formalism to an almost Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) model. Namely, we find solutions to the field equations of MG taking the averaged universe to be almost-FLRW modeled using a linearly perturbed FLRW metric. We study several solutions with different functional forms of the metric perturbations including plane-wave ansatzes. We find that back-reaction terms are present not only at the background level but also at the perturbed level, reflecting the nonlinear nature of the averaging process. Thus the averaging effect can extend to both the expansion and the growth of structure in the universe.</p>","PeriodicalId":583,"journal":{"name":"Gravitation and Cosmology","volume":"29 2","pages":"110 - 120"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4423050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We consider a test particle as a luminous object, otherwise, if it is not, we assume that a luminous source is attached to it, which has neither mass nor volume. We calculate the relative velocities in special metrics: the Minkowski metric, the test particle and observer at rest in an arbitrary stationary metric, a uniform gravitational field, a rotating reference frame, the Schwarzschild metric, a Kerr-type metrics, and the spatially homogeneous and isotropic Robertson–Walker space-time of the standard cosmological model. In the last case, it leads to a remarkable cosmological consequence that the resulting, so-called, <i>kinetic</i> recession velocity of an astronomical object is always subluminal even for large redshifts of order one or more, so that it does not violate the fundamental physical principle of <i>causality</i>.

One particle is situated at rest near a static, generally speaking, distorted black hole. If another particle (say, coming from infinity) collides with it, the collision energy <span>(E_{textrm{c.m.}})</span> in the center of mass frame grows unboundedly (the BSW effect). The force required to keep such a particle near a black hole diverges for nonextremal horizons but remains finite and nonzero for an extremal one and vanishes in the horizon limit for ultraextremal black holes.
