宇宙学反反应的梯度展开

A gradient expansion for cosmological backreaction

Kari Enqvist, Shaun Hotchkiss, Gerasimos Rigopoulos

摘要:

通过构造一个基于梯度展开的尘埃主导宇宙时间演化度规的近似,讨论了非线性结构形成的宇宙学逆反应问题。我们的度量开始作为一个平面的弗里德曼-罗伯逊-沃克状态描述的一个近尺度不变,高斯,幂律分布的扰动,并在时间上演变,直到非线性结构已经形成。在描述并试图控制这种方法的实现中的某些复杂性之后,这个度量就形成了宇宙的工作模型。我们数值计算了该模型中的平均标度因子的演变,从而反作用。我们认为,尽管它的局限性,这个模型是更现实的比以前的模型,面临的问题的反作用。我们发现,在这个模型中,逆反应的\emph{instantaneous}效应可以大到背景的$\sim10%$。这表明,正确理解逆反应的\emph{cumulative}效应对于精确的宇宙学和未来对暗区的任何探索都是至关重要的。

英文摘要:

We address the issue of cosmological backreaction from non-linear structure formation by constructing an approximation for the time evolved metric of a dust dominated universe based on a gradient expansion. Our metric begins as a perturbation of a flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker state described by a nearly scale invariant, Gaussian, power-law distribution, and evolves in time until non-linear structures have formed. After describing and attempting to control for certain complications in the implementation of this approach, this metric then forms a working model of the universe. We numerically calculate the evolution of the average scale factor in this model and hence the backreaction. We argue that, despite its limitations, this model is more realistic than previous models that have confronted the issue of backreaction. We find that the \emph{instantaneous} effects of backreaction in this model could be as large as $\sim10%$ of the background. This suggests that a proper understanding of the \emph{cumulative} effects of backreaction could be crucial for precision cosmology and any future exploration of the dark sector.
