宇宙学未来奇点的观测约束

Observational constraints on cosmological future singularities

Jose Beltran Jimenez, Ruth Lazkoz, Diego Saez-Gomez, Vincenzo Salzano

摘要:

在这项工作中,我们考虑一个家庭的宇宙模型具有未来的奇点。这种类型的宇宙演化是典型的暗能量模型,其状态方程违反了一些标准能量条件(例如零能量条件)。这种行为在文献中得到了广泛的研究,可能出现在具有幻影场的宇宙学、修正的引力理论或具有相互作用的暗物质/暗能量的模型中。我们简要地回顾这些宇宙学演化的物理后果测地线的完整性和潮汐力的分歧,以强调在何种情况下,在某些宇宙学量的奇点对应于实际的奇异时空。然后,我们介绍了几个唯象参数化的哈勃膨胀率模型不同的奇异性存在于文献中,并使用SN Ia,BAO和H(z)的数据来约束在未来多远的奇异性需要(根据一些合理的假设行为的哈勃因子)。我们表明,对于我们的家庭参数化,奇点时间的下限不能小于约1.2倍的宇宙年龄,粗略地说,这意味着约2.8 Gyrs从现在的时间。

英文摘要:

In this work we consider a family of cosmological models featuring future singularities. This type of cosmological evolution is typical of dark energy models with an equation of state violating some of the standard energy conditions (e.g. the null energy condition). Such kind of behavior, widely studied in the literature, may arise in cosmologies with phantom fields, theories of modified gravity or models with interacting dark matter/dark energy. We briefly review the physical consequences of these cosmological evolution regarding geodesic completeness and the divergence of tidal forces in order to emphasize under which circumstances the singularities in some cosmological quantities correspond to actual singular spacetimes. We then introduce several phenomenological parameterizations of the Hubble expansion rate to model different singularities existing in the literature and use SN Ia, BAO and H(z) data to constrain how far in the future the singularity needs to be (under some reasonable assumptions on the behaviour of the Hubble factor). We show that, for our family of parameterizations, the lower bound for the singularity time can not be smaller than about 1.2 times the age of the universe, what roughly speaking means about 2.8 Gyrs from the present time.
