Abstract. The post-Newtonian formalism is developed for hybrid f(R)-gravity. The model is tested in the weak field regime of the . Using - representation of hybrid f(R)-gravity we impose restrictions on the pa- rameters of the and show that hybrid f(R)-gravity is not ruled out by the observations in the weak field limit.

1 Introduction The (GR) is the universally recognized theory of gravity. It successfully describes a huge range of scales and gravitational regimes. Together with , they represent two pillars of . Unfortunately, some phenomena cannot be explained completely in frameworks of these two approaches. Already in 1930s the problem of galactic curves arose [1]. Moreover, the accelerated expansion of the (i.e., “dark ”) has been found from cosmological observations recently [2] and we still can not merge gravity with quantum . So it becomes obvious that the GR should be modified. One way to expand GR is adding the corrections in terms of the Ricci scalar R to the Einstein-Hilbert [3, 4]. Such approach underlies f(R)-gravity. The family of f(R)-gravity is divided into two classes: metric f(R)-gravity and Palatini f(R)-gravity [5]. In the metric f(R)-gravity the Ricci scalar R depends only on metric gµν, whereas in the Palatini approach the Ricci scalar R depends on the metric and on the ˆ α independent affine connection Γβγ. Both of two classes have some unsolved problems at the . The metric f(R)-gravity can explain well the accelerated expansion of the Universe, but fails in the Solar System or vice versa [5, 6]. The Palatini f(R)-gravity perfectly describes both of the Solar System and accelerated expansion but such models may lead to undesired gradient instabilities as has been shown by studies of cosmological perturbations [7]. The hybrid metric-Palatini f(R)-gravity is a new approach in f(R)-gravity which unites metric and Palatini theories but lacks their shortcomings [8]. The main task of hybrid f(R)- gravity is explanation of and Dark by changing only the geometry of a - without the introduction of new unknown in the theory. Some important results have already been achieved [9]. This theory allow to reproduce the rotation curve of [10] and the galactic cluster without assuming huge amounts of [9]. Also an interesting aspect of this theory is the possibility to generate long-range

without entering into conflict with local tests of gravity and without invoking any kind of screening (which would however require that at the present time the cosmological evolution reduces to the GR)[9]. However, any theory should be verifiable. And gravitational model should satisfy the observational data in the Solar System. The main tool for testing theories of gravity in the Solar System is the so-called post-Newtonian formalism (PPN) [11]. Parameterized post-Newtonian formalism was originally developed to compare various metric theories with each other and GR [11]. The post-Newtonian limit is established in the framework of the asymptotically flat space-time background and small . of matter would obey the hydrodynamics equations for the perfect fluid. Distinctions between GR and other theories of gravity are reflected via the set of 10 post-Newtonian parameters. Each parameter is responsible for its effect. Also all these parameters have been measured in different experiments. So comparing the PPN parameters which are predicted by the theory with experimental values of these parameters it is possible to impose restrictions on parame- ters of the model in the weak field regime. The structure of the paper is the following. In Section 2 we describe briefly the hybrid f(R)-gravity; in the Section 3 we represent the main ideas of the post-Newtonian formalism; the Section 4 is devoted to developing of PPN formalism for hybrid f(R)-gravity models; and in the Section 5 we impose restrictions on the hybrid f(R)-gravity using the Solar System data. The Section 6 contains conclusions. Throughout this paper the Greek indices (µ,ν,...) run over 0,1,2,3 in the signature ( ,+,+,+). All calculations are performed in the system h¯ = k = c = 1, − b but the of is present in the equations for easy understanding of the text.

2 Hybrid f(R)-gravity The hybrid f(R)-gravity is the theory which unites two approaches of f(R)-gravity: metric and Palatini. The gravitational action of hybrid f(R)-gravity also consists of two parts [8]:

c4 S = S + S = d4x √ g[R + f (R)], (1) grav metric Palatini G − 16π

where c is the , G is the Newtonian , gµν is the metric, R and R are the metric and the Palatini respectively. Drawing an analogy between the scalar-tensor theories and the higher order theories of gravity, it is possible to represent hybrid f(R)-gravity as a scalar-tensor theory [9]:

c4 3 S = d4x √ g (1 + φ)R + ∂ φ∂µ φ V(φ) , (2) grav 16πG − 2φ µ −   where φ ia the scalar field and V(φ) is the scalar potential. In such case, the field equations have the order [9]: 8πG 1 1 3 (1 + φ)R = (T g T)+ g (V(φ)+∇ ∇α φ)+∇ ∇ φ ∂ ∂ φ µν c4 µν − 2 µν 2 µν α µ ν − 2φ µ ν 1 φ[2V(φ) (1 + φ)Vφ ] 8πG ∇ ∇µ φ ∂ φ∂µ φ − = φT (3) µ − 2φ µ − 3 − 3c4 In some , considering a theory like R + f (R) means that all the positive results of GR are represented by the Einstein-Hilbert part of the action R, while the further “gravitational budget” is endowed in the metric-affine f (R) component [9].

3 Post-Newtonian formalism PPN is very effective testbed for the viability of gravitational theories in the weak field limit. According to the post-Newtonian approach the metric of any gravitational theory can be represented as a set of combinations of PPN parameters and PPN potentials. PPN potentials are universal for all theories whereas all distinctions are contained in PPN parameters [11]. The general post-Newtonian metric has the following form [11]: 1 1 1 g = 1 + 2 U 2β U2 +(2γ + 1 + α + ζ 2ξ) Φ 00 − c2 − c4 3 1 − c4 1 1 1 1 2(2β 3γ 1 ζ ξ) Φ + 2(1 + ζ ) Φ + 2(3γ + 3ζ 2ξ) Φ − − − − 2 − c4 2 3 c4 3 4 − c4 4 1 1 1 1 2ξ Φ (ζ 2ξ)A (α α α )w2U α wawbU − c4 W − c4 1 − − c4 1 − 2 − 3 − c4 2 ab 1 + (2α α )waU , c4 3 − 1 a 1 1 1 g = [4γ + 3 + α α + ζ 2ξ] U (1 + α ζ + 2ξ) W 0 j − 1 − 2 1 − 2c3 j − 2 2 − 1 c3 j 1 + [α 2α ]w U α wiU , 2c3 1 − 2 j − 2 ij 1 g = 1 + 2γ U δ , (4) ij c2 ij  where 2 ρ 3 ρv 3 2 ρU 3 U = Geff d r, Φ1 = Geff d r, Φ2 = Geff d r, r r r r r r  | − |  | − |  | − | 2 ρΠ 3 p 3 ρ[v(r r)] 3 Φ3 = Geff d r, Φ4 = Geff d r, A = Geff − d r, r r r r r r 3  | − |  | − |  | − | j j (5) 2 (r r) j (r r) (r r) 3 3 ΦW = Geffρρ − − − d rd r, r r 3  r r − r r   | − | | − | |  − | ρvj 3 ρv(r r)(r r)i 3 Uj = Geff d r, Wi = Geff − − d r r r r r 3  | − |  | − | are post-Newtonian potentials; post-Newtonian parameters are described in the Table 1 [11].

4 Hybrid f(R)-gravity in the weak field limit The hybrid f(R)-gravity can be represented as massive scalar-tensor theory [9]. It is known that such models does not allow a straightforward implementation of the post-Newtonian for- malism because the coefficients of modified post-Newtonian potentials in the post-Newtonian metric are not constants, but they have a spatial dependence [12]. However, there are two lim- its where PPN approximation can be applied to massive scalar-tensor theories: very massive (mϕ >> 1/r) and very light scalar field (mϕ << 1/r) [12]. We investigate only the second possibility in our consideration.

the analytical expressions of these parameters (19,22) and experimental data from Tab.1 we restrict the asymptotic value of the field far away from the local system φ0 and mass of the scalar field mϕ on the Fig.1. The constraints obtained from the γ are much more stringent than those obtained from the β. The considering limit of very light scalar field implies a small value of φ0. This fact could allow for the existence of a long-range scalar field able to modify the cosmological dynamics, but leaving unaffected the Solar System.

6 Conclusion In this we developed the post-Newtonian limit for hybrid metric-Palatini f(R)-gravity. On the example of this theory it was shown that in the limiting case mϕ << 1/r it is possible to apply post-Newtonian formalism to models with massive scalar field. We obtained values of 10 PPN parameters in this theory in the considered limit and proved that 8 PPN parameters are equal to zero α1 = α2 = α3 = ζ1 = ζ2 = ζ3 = ζ4 = ξ = 0. Using the experimental data from the Solar System (values of γ and β) the parameters of hybrid f(R)-gravity (φ0 and mϕ ) were constrained and the most stringent restrictions are imposed by the parameter γ. Thus, we showed that the hybrid f(R)-gravity satisfies the experiments in the Solar System in the case of very light scalar field. In the future, it is planned to study hybrid f(R)-gravity in the strong-field limit and compare it with observational data from binary .
