Covariant approach of perturbations in Lovelock type brane gravity

Abstract: We develop a covariant scheme to describe the dynamics of small perturbations on Lovelock type extended objects propagating in a flat Minkowski spacetime. The higher-dimensional analogue of the Jacobi equation in this theory becomes a wave type equation for a scalar field Φ. Whithin this framework, we analyse the stability of membranes with a de Sitter geometry where we find that the Jacobi equation specializes to a Klein-Gordon (KG) equation for Φ possessing a tachyonic mass. This shows that, to some extent, … Show more

“…Concerning the hypersurface embedding case, i = 1, the action (1) specializes to a functional depending linearly of the mean extrinsic curvature which has been discussed extensively in the relativistic context in the framework of the Lovelock type branes [22,23] whereas in the Euclidean context such functional has attracted lot of attention as being part of the geometrical prescription to study biological lipid membranes [25][26][27][28]. In such a case, R ij specializes to R so that, K (1) = 1 and the equations of motion (12) reduce to a single equation of second order in the derivatives of the fields, E (1) = R = 0.…”

“…As shown, this is a consequence of the invariance under reparametrizations of the action functional in this type of gravity. In each surface governed by this action, there is only one degree of freedom, corresponding to the breathing mode of the worldvolume so its nature is only geometric [14]. In this sense, it is expected that the Lagrangians, either L bulk or L surf reflect this fact, thereby encoding the same amount of dynamical content by describing the same degree of freedom.…”
