超大尺度修正重力的观测特征

Observational signatures of modified gravity on ultra-large scales

Tessa Baker, Philip Bull

摘要:

像欧几里德和SKA这样的未来实验的超大型调查将很快使我们能够访问接近哈勃尺度的微扰模式,波数为$k \sim \mathcal{H}$。如果修正后的引力理论是宇宙加速的原因,那么哈勃尺度就是偏离广义相对论(GR)的自然状态。然而,迄今为止的大多数研究都集中在视界下准静态区域的替代引力理论的后果上。在本文中,我们研究如何修改的引力场方程影响周围的哈勃尺度扰动。我们选择功能的形式来表示通用的尺度依赖的行为的重力理论,修改GR在长波长,并研究由此产生的偏差的超大规模相对论观测量从他们的GR行为。我们发现,除非对场方程进行剧烈修改,否则这些都很小。然而,偏差的角度依赖性和红移演化是高度参数化和测量依赖的,因此如果它们可以被测量,它们可能是修正引力现象学的丰富来源。

英文摘要:

Extremely large surveys with future experiments like Euclid and the SKA will soon allow us to access perturbation modes close to the Hubble scale, with wavenumbers $k \sim \mathcal{H}$. If a modified gravity theory is responsible for cosmic acceleration, the Hubble scale is a natural regime for deviations from General Relativity (GR) to become manifest. The majority of studies to date have concentrated on the consequences of alternative gravity theories for the subhorizon, quasi-static regime, however. In this paper we investigate how modifications to the gravitational field equations affect perturbations around the Hubble scale. We choose functional forms to represent the generic scale-dependent behaviour of gravity theories that modify GR at long wavelengths, and study the resulting deviations of ultra large-scale relativistic observables from their GR behaviour. We find that these are small unless modifications to the field equations are drastic. The angular dependence and redshift evolution of the deviations is highly parameterisation- and survey-dependent, however, and so they are possibly a rich source of modified gravity phenomenology if they can be measured.
