用未来的层析观测检验广义相对论

Cosmological Tests of General Relativity with Future Tomographic Surveys

Gong-Bo Zhao, Levon Pogosian, Alessandra Silvestri, Joel Zylberberg

摘要:

未来的弱透镜巡天将绘制出物质扰动和引力势的演化图,从而在宇宙尺度上对广义相对论进行新的检验。他们将探讨物质超密度,局部曲率和牛顿势之间的关系。这些关系可以在其他引力理论中或通过大质量中微子或外来暗能量流体的影响进行修改。我们引入两个函数的时间和规模占任何这样的修改的线性制度。我们使用主成分分析,找到这些功能的宇宙学数据将约束的本征模。约束模式的数量给出了一个独立于模型的预测,即有多少描述偏离广义相对论的参数可以被约束,以及$w(z)$。模式的尺度和时间依赖性告诉我们哪些理论模型将得到更好的检验。

英文摘要:

Future weak lensing surveys will map the evolution of matter perturbations and gravitational potentials, yielding a new test of general relativity on cosmic scales. They will probe the relations between matter overdensities, local curvature, and the Newtonian potential. These relations can be modified in alternative gravity theories or by the effects of massive neutrinos or exotic dark energy fluids. We introduce two functions of time and scale which account for any such modifications in the linear regime. We use a principal component analysis to find the eigenmodes of these functions that cosmological data will constrain. The number of constrained modes gives a model-independent forecast of how many parameters describing deviations from general relativity could be constrained, along with $w(z)$. The modes' scale and time dependence tell us which theoretical models will be better tested.
