修正引力理论的参数化后弗里德曼框架:概念、形式主义和实例

The Parameterized Post-Friedmann Framework for Theories of Modified Gravity: Concepts, Formalism and Examples

Tessa Baker, Pedro G. Ferreira, Constantinos Skordis

摘要:

修正引力理论的统一框架将是解释即将到来的宇宙学数据洪流的重要工具。我们提出了这样一种形式主义,参数化后弗里德曼框架(PPF),参数化的宇宙学扰动理论的各种修改的重力模型。PPF能够处理来自新标量场、矢量场和张量场的自旋为0的自由度,这意味着它不限于仅基于宇宙学标量场的简单模型。保持直接的对应关系之间的参数化和基础空间的理论,这使我们能够建立一个“字典”的修改后的引力理论和它们的PPF对应。在本文中,我们描述了参数化的建设,并通过一些工作的例子,目前的文献证明其使用。我们指出如何将实现数值形式主义,使字典的修改重力可以对即将到来的观测。

英文摘要:

A unified framework for theories of modified gravity will be an essential tool for interpreting the forthcoming deluge of cosmological data. We present such a formalism, the Parameterized Post-Friedmann framework (PPF), which parameterizes the cosmological perturbation theory of a wide variety of modified gravity models. PPF is able to handle spin-0 degrees of freedom from new scalar, vector and tensor fields, meaning that it is not restricted to simple models based solely on cosmological scalar fields. A direct correspondence is maintained between the parameterization and the underlying space of theories, which allows us to build up a `dictionary' of modified gravity theories and their PPF correspondences. In this paper we describe the construction of the parameterization and demonstrate its use through a number of worked examples relevant to the current literature. We indicate how the formalism will be implemented numerically, so that the dictionary of modified gravity can be pitted against forthcoming observations.
