一类Palatini f(R)引力的宇宙学约束

Cosmographic constraints on a class of Palatini f(R) gravity

N. Pires, J. Santos, J. S. Alcaniz

摘要:

修正引力,被称为$f(R)$引力,目前已被应用于宇宙学作为暗能量的现实替代品。对于这种引力,宇宙的膨胀可能会加速,而只包含重子和冷暗物质。本研究的目的是将宇宙学的限制放在帕拉蒂尼方法中的$f(R)=R - α/R^n$形式的理论类上。虽然在最近的文献中进行了广泛的讨论,并面临着几个观测数据集,宇宙学测试确实是不确定的真正信号的$n$在这类理论。这对于确定这类理论实际上代表了对广义相对论的哪种修正(红外或高能)是特别重要的。我们揭示了这个问题,通过检查这些理论的减速参数$q(z)$的演变。我们发现,对于一个大范围的$α$,模型的基础上$f(R) = R - α/R^{n}$重力在Palatini方法只能有积极的值为$n$,从而放置在这一类的重力广泛的限制。

英文摘要:

Modified gravity, known as $f(R)$ gravity, has presently been applied to Cosmology as a realistic alternative to dark energy. For this kind of gravity the expansion of the Universe may accelerate while containing only baryonic and cold dark matter. The aim of the present investigation is to place cosmographic constraints on the class of theories of the form $f(R)=R - α/R^n$ within the Palatini approach. Although extensively discussed in recent literature and confronted with several observational data sets, cosmological tests are indeed inconclusive about the true signal of $n$ in this class of theories. This is particularly important to define which kind of corrections (infra-red or high-energy) to general relativity this class of theory indeed represent. We shed some light on this question by examining the evolution of the deceleration parameter $q(z)$ for these theories. We find that for a large range of $α$, models based on $f(R) = R - α/R^{n}$ gravity in the Palatini approach can only have positive values for $n$, placing thus a broad restriction on this class of gravity.
