DGP的N体模拟与引力理论

N-Body Simulations of DGP and Degravitation Theories

Justin Khoury, Mark Wyman

摘要:

我们进行N体模拟的理论与无限体积额外的维度,如Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati(DGP)模型及其高维推广,其中4D重力是由大质量引力子介导的。这些引力子的纵向模式介导了一个额外的标量力,我们将其建模为对泊松方程的密度相关修改。这增强了引力聚集,特别是在经历了温和的非线性处理的尺度上。虽然Smith等人的标准非线性拟合算法在非线性尺度上高估了这种功率增强,但我们提出了一个修改后的拟合公式,该公式非常适合我们的功率谱。由于在星系偏置的不确定性,我们的结果是一致的精确功率谱测定星系红移调查,即使是引力子康普顿波长小至300兆秒差距。我们的模型是足够普遍的,我们希望它能捕捉到广泛的一类相关的高维引力场景的现象。

英文摘要:

We perform N-body simulations of theories with infinite-volume extra dimensions, such as the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati (DGP) model and its higher-dimensional generalizations, where 4D gravity is mediated by massive gravitons. The longitudinal mode of these gravitons mediates an extra scalar force, which we model as a density-dependent modification to the Poisson equation. This enhances gravitational clustering, particularly on scales that have undergone mild nonlinear processing. While the standard non-linear fitting algorithm of Smith et al. overestimates this power enhancement on non-linear scales, we present a modified fitting formula that offers a remarkably good fit to our power spectra. Due to the uncertainty in galaxy bias, our results are consistent with precision power spectrum determinations from galaxy redshift surveys, even for graviton Compton wavelengths as small as 300 Mpc. Our model is sufficiently general that we expect it to capture the phenomenology of a wide class of related higher-dimensional gravity scenarios.
