曲率的几何约束与BAO实验

Geometrical Constraint on Curvature with BAO experiments

Masahiro Takada, Olivier Dore

摘要:

空间曲率($K$或$Ω_K$)是各向同性和均匀宇宙的最基本参数之一,与早期宇宙的物理学有着密切的联系。结合通过重子声学振荡(BAO)实验测量的径向和角直径距离,使我们能够明确地约束曲率。该方法主要基于度规理论,但对结构形成理论的敏感性较低,而不是BAO标度的存在,并且不受任何暗能量模型的影响。在本文中,我们估计了一个最好的精度约束的曲率与BAO实验。我们表明,一个全天空,宇宙方差有限的星系调查,覆盖宇宙$z> 4$,使精确的曲率测定的精度为$σ(Ω_K)\simeq 10^{-3}$。当我们假设一个暗能量模型--无论是宇宙学常数还是$(w_0,w_a)$模型--它都可以达到$σ(Ω_K)\simeq \mbox{a few}\times 10^{-4}$的精度。这些预测需要一个高的星系采样密度,并降低了几个因素的调查与有限的数密度的$\sim 10^{-3}(h/{\rm Mpc})^3$。

英文摘要:

The spatial curvature ($K$ or $Ω_K$) is one of the most fundamental parameters of an isotropic and homogeneous universe and has a close link to the physics of the early Universe. Combining the radial and angular diameter distances measured via the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) experiments allows us to unambiguously constrain the curvature. The method is primarily based on the metric theory, but is less sensitive to the theory of structure formation other than the existence of the BAO scale and is free of any model of dark energy. In this paper, we estimate a best achievable accuracy of constraining the curvature with the BAO experiments. We show that an all-sky, cosmic-variance-limited galaxy survey covering the Universe up to $z> 4$ enables a precise determination of the curvature to an accuracy of $σ(Ω_K)\simeq 10^{-3}$. When we assume a model of dark energy - either the cosmological constant or the $(w_0,w_a)$ model - it can achieve a precision of $σ(Ω_K)\simeq \mbox{a few}\times 10^{-4}$. These forecasts require a high sampling density of galaxies, and are degraded by up to a factor of a few for a survey with a finite number density of $\sim 10^{-3}(h/{\rm Mpc})^3$.
