Perturbations in Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi and Assisted Coupled Quintessence Cosmologies

Alexander Leithes

摘要:

在这篇论文中,我们研究了Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi(LTB)和辅助耦合精粹(ACQ)宇宙学中的线性微扰。首先,我们简要介绍宇宙学的标准模型。然后,我们介绍了宇宙学扰动理论(CPT)在线性阶的平坦的Friedmann-Robertson-Walker(FRW)宇宙学。接下来,我们研究Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi(LTB)背景时空的线性扰动。研究了扰动在规范变换下的变换行为,构造了LTB中的规范不变量。我们表明,使用微扰能量守恒方程,有一个保守的量在LTB是保守的所有尺度。然后,我们简要地延长我们的讨论勒梅特时空,并构建规范不变的扰动在这个扩展的LTB时空。我们还研究了FRW背景下辅助耦合quintessence模型中的线性扰动行为。我们提供了这类模型的完整的控制方程组,并解决了系统的数值。为此目的编写的代码,然后用于发展各种模型和参数值的增长函数,我们比较这些标准的$Λ$ CDM模型和当前和未来的观测范围。我们还研究了“小尺度近似”的适用性,通常用于计算增长函数的精华模型,在即将到来的实验,如SKA和欧几里得。我们发现,这些未来的调查的全部方程的结果偏离近似超过实验的不确定性。构造的数值代码,PYESSENCE,写在Python中解决系统的背景和扰动演化方程的辅助耦合的精髓,也进行了讨论。

英文摘要:

In this thesis we present research into linear perturbations in Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) and Assisted Coupled Quintessence (ACQ) Cosmologies. First we give a brief overview of the standard model of cosmology. We then introduce Cosmological Perturbation Theory (CPT) at linear order for a flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) cosmology. Next we study linear perturbations to a Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) background spacetime. Studying the transformation behaviour of the perturbations under gauge transformations, we construct gauge invariant quantities in LTB. We show, using the perturbed energy conservation equation, that there is a conserved quantity in LTB which is conserved on all scales. We then briefly extend our discussion to the Lemaitre spacetime, and construct gauge-invariant perturbations in this extension of LTB spacetime. We also study the behaviour of linear perturbations in assisted coupled quintessence models in a FRW background. We provide the full set of governing equations for this class of models, and solve the system numerically. The code written for this purpose is then used to evolve growth functions for various models and parameter values, and we compare these both to the standard $Λ$CDM model and to current and future observational bounds. We also examine the applicability of the "small scale approximation", often used to calculate growth functions in quintessence models, in light of upcoming experiments such as SKA and Euclid. We find the results of the full equations deviates from the approximation by more than the experimental uncertainty for these future surveys. The construction of the numerical code, PYESSENCE, written in Python to solve the system of background and perturbed evolution equations for assisted coupled quintessence, is also discussed.
