Instability of Static Semi-Closed Worlds in Generalized Galileon Theories

High Energy Physics - Theory 2017-07-26 v1

Abstract

We consider generalized Galileon theories within general relativity in four-dimensional space-time. We provide the argument showing that the generalized Galileons described by a wide class of Lagrangians do not admit stable, static, spherically symmetric semi-closed worlds. We also show that in a class of theories with p=ρp_{\perp} = - \rho (where pp_{\perp} is transverse pressure and ρ\rho is energy density), semi-closed worlds, if exist, would be observed as objects of negative mass.
