CHAPTER 1
The Hoyle-Narli kar Theory
of Gravitation
1. I n t rod uction
Th e success of Maxwell's e qu a tion s ha s l ed to
electrod ynamics being n orma lly for mul a te d in te rms of fi elds
that hav e de g rees of f!eedom independent of the par tic l es i n
th em .
However, Gauss sugg ested t h at a n a c t ion-a t-a - di s t an ce
t heory in which the action trav e lled at a fi n it e v e loci ty
mi g ht b e p o s sible.
This idea was develo pe d by ~h eel er and
Fe ynman ( 4 , 2 ) who derived their t h eory from a n action-p ri ncip l e
that involved only direct int e r a ctions between p airs o f particl e s.
A
f e ature of this t h eory was tha t the 'p s eudo' -fie l ds
introduced ar e the half-ret a rded plus half- a dva nced f ie l ds
c l a cul a te d from ~he world-lin e s of the particl e s. However ,
W1ee ler a nd F eynman, and, in a different way , Hog a t th ( 3)
were ab le to s how that, provided certain c os molog ical
co nd itions were satis f ied, these fiel d s could comb ine t o
~ ive the observed field . Hoyle a n d Narlikar ( 4 ) extend e d the
tt1 eory to g eneral space - times a nd obtained simil a r t he or i es
for th e ir 'C' - field (5)and for the g ravit a tional f~ el d (G ).
It is with these t h eories t hat t h is c hapter is conc e r n e d .

and in the u s ual g eneral theory of re l at ivit y .
In the

The difficulty is simila r to that oc curring in

in an ex-oancling universe the retarded s olution o f the ab ove

advanced solution will be infinite by a ' b lu e - shift' eff e ct.
fhis i s unimp ortant in Newtoni an the6ry, s i n ce one i s fr ee

However, one i s

PERTURBA'I'IONS
--
Introduction
,____
~
Perturbations of a spatially isotropic and homogeneous expanding
universe have been investigated in a Newtonim approximation by
Bonnor( 1 ) and relativistically by Lifshitz( 2 ), Liftshitz and
K.halatnikov( 3 ) and Irvine(4).
Their method was to consider small
variations of the metric tensor.
This has the disadvantage that the
metric tensor is not a physically significant quantity, since one
cannot directly measure it, but only its second derivatives.
It is
thus not obvious what the physical interpretation of a given
perturbation of the metric is.
Indeed it need have no physical
significance at all, but merely correspond to a coordinate transformation.
Instead it seems preferable to deal in terms of
perturbations of the physically significant quantity, the curvature.

Notation
Space-time is represented as a four-dimensional Riemannian space
with metric tens or
gab
of signature +2.
Covariant differentiation
in this space is indicated by a semi-colon.
Square brackets around
indices indicate antisymmetrisation and round brackets symmetrisation.

In this universe we consider small perturbations of the motion
of the fluid and of the 1i/eyl tensor.
We n egl e ct pr oducts of small
g_uantities and perform derivatives with respect to the undisturb ed

Since all the quantities we are inte rested in with the

have unperturb ed value zero, we
avoid perturbations that merely repr e sent coordinate transformation

electromagnetic radiation is not completely absorbed it would predict
advanced solutions.
S imj_larly, if one accepted this theoI'Y, one would
expe c t retarded s olutions of the Einstein equations if and only if all
gravitational radiation emitted is eventually absorbed by other matter.
Clearly this is so for the steady-state universe since

However the expression
used for viscosity assumed that the mean free path of the atoms was
small compared to the scale o:f the disturbance.
Since the mean free
path oc: µ - 1a-:. .1.r-i1.. - 3 and the wavelength ~ (1 - 1 , the mE: 8.n free path will

Thus there will not be conwl c t e
absorption and the theory would not p r edi ct retardud solutions.
However this is slight ly academic sinc e gravitational radiation ha s no~
yet been detected, let a lone invest i gated to see whether it corresponds
to a retarded or advanced solution.

This is clea rly n ot a property p ossessed

negative energy density like t he 'C' field.
However ther e i s
a g r ave q u antum-mechanic a l difficulty associated with the

It has be e n s u g 6 e sted

these singul ariti es is a consequence of the high de gree o f
symme t ry of the Robertson-Walker models which restricts t he
expansion and contra ction so that they are purely radial ~nd
that more realistic models w~th fewer or no exa ct symmetri es
would not have a sing ularit y .
