Deriving Entangled Relativity
Abstract
Entangled Relativity is a non-linear reformulation of Einstein's theory that cannot be defined in the absence of matter fields. It recovers General Relativity without a cosmological constant in the weak matter density limit or whenever = T on-shell, and it is also more parsimonious in terms of fundamental constants and units. In this paper, we show that Entangled Relativity can be derived from a general f(R,) theory by imposing a single requirement: the theory must admit all solutions of General Relativity without a cosmological constant whenever = T ≠ 0 on-shell, though not necessarily only those solutions. An important consequence is that all vacuum solutions of General Relativity without a cosmological constant are limits of solutions of Entangled Relativity when the matter fields tend to zero. In addition, we introduce a broader class of theories featuring an intrinsic decoupling, which, however, do not generally admit the solutions of General Relativity.
