修正引力的宇宙学暗示?

Cosmological Hints of Modified Gravity ?

Eleonora Di Valentino, Alessandro Melchiorri, Joseph Silk

摘要:

最近普朗克卫星对宇宙微波背景温度和偏振各向异性的测量为$Λ$ CDM宇宙学模型提供了令人印象深刻的证实。然而,已经发现了与$Λ$ CDM轻微偏离的有趣提示,包括$95 \%$ c.l.优先考虑“修正重力”结构形成方案。在本文中,我们确认了普朗克2015年数据的修改重力方案的偏好,发现修改重力解决了所谓的$A_{lens}$异常的CMB角谱,并限制物质密度波动的振幅$σ_8=0.815_{-0.048}^{+0.032}$,更好地符合弱透镜约束。此外,我们发现$τ=0.059\pm0.020$的再电离光学深度值较低(与标准方案中获得的$τ= 0.079 \pm 0.017$值相比),更符合最近的光学和紫外数据。我们检查这个结果的稳定性,考虑可能的简并与其他参数,包括中微子有效数,运行的光谱指数和原始氦的量。在约$95\%$ c.l.时仍存在改良重力的指示,如果$τ$的较低值被未来的宇宙学和天体物理学数据进一步证实,则可能变得更加重要。

英文摘要:

The recent measurements of Cosmic Microwave Background temperature and polarization anisotropies made by the Planck satellite have provided impressive confirmation of the $Λ$CDM cosmological model. However interesting hints of slight deviations from $Λ$CDM have been found, including a $95 \%$ c.l. preference for a "modified gravity" structure formation scenario. In this paper we confirm the preference for a modified gravity scenario from Planck 2015 data, find that modified gravity solves the so-called $A_{lens}$ anomaly in the CMB angular spectrum, and constrains the amplitude of matter density fluctuations to $σ_8=0.815_{-0.048}^{+0.032}$, in better agreement with weak lensing constraints. Moreover, we find a lower value for the reionization optical depth of $τ=0.059\pm0.020$ (to be compared with the value of $τ= 0.079 \pm 0.017$ obtained in the standard scenario), more consistent with recent optical and UV data. We check the stability of this result by considering possible degeneracies with other parameters, including the neutrino effective number, the running of the spectral index and the amount of primordial helium. The indication for modified gravity is still present at about $95\%$ c.l., and could become more significant if lower values of $τ$ were to be further confirmed by future cosmological and astrophysical data.
