Galileon引力模型中的线性扰动

Linear perturbations in Galileon gravity models

Alexandre Barreira, Baojiu Li, Carlton Baugh, Silvia Pascoli

摘要:

本文研究了线性微扰体系中Galileon修正引力模型的宇宙学。我们用两种不同的方法导出了完全协变和规范不变的扰动场方程,得到了一致的结果,并用修改后的{ \tt CAMB}程序求解了它们.我们发现,除了修改的背景膨胀的历史,从而改变了宇宙微波背景(CMB)的功率谱的声学峰的位置,伽利略场可以从早期强烈集群,并导致外尔引力势增长,而不是衰减,在后期。这通过修正的积分萨克斯-沃尔夫效应在低$l$ CMB功率谱中留下了清晰的特征,强烈增强了物质密度扰动的线性增长,并对其他宇宙学信号如弱透镜和密度波动的功率谱做出了独特的预测。准静态近似的工作相当不错,从小到近地平线尺度。我们表明,Galileon模型显示了丰富的现象,由于大的参数空间和模型预测的Galileon参数的敏感依赖。我们的研究结果表明,一些Galileon模型已经排除了目前的数据和未来更高的意义星系聚类,ISW和透镜测量将放置强有力的约束Galileon重力。

英文摘要:

We study the cosmology of Galileon modified gravity models in the linear perturbation regime. We derive the fully covariant and gauge invariant perturbed field equations using two different methods, which give consistent results, and solve them using a modified version of the {\tt CAMB} code. We find that, in addition to modifying the background expansion history and therefore shifting the positions of the acoustic peaks in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectrum, the Galileon field can cluster strongly from early times, and causes the Weyl gravitational potential to grow, rather than decay, at late times. This leaves clear signatures in the low-$l$ CMB power spectrum through the modified integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect, strongly enhances the linear growth of matter density perturbations and makes distinctive predictions for other cosmological signals such as weak lensing and the power spectrum of density fluctuations. The quasi-static approximation is shown to work quite well from small to the near-horizon scales. We demonstrate that Galileon models display a rich phenomenology due to the large parameter space and the sensitive dependence of the model predictions on the Galileon parameters. Our results show that some Galileon models are already ruled out by present data and that future higher significance galaxy clustering, ISW and lensing measurements will place strong constraints on Galileon gravity.
