修正引力与物质双谱中大尺度结构的一致性关系

Consistency relations for large-scale structure in modified gravity and the matter bispectrum

Marco Crisostomi, Matthew Lewandowski, Filippo Vernizzi

摘要:

我们研究了传播单个标量自由度的最一般标量-张量理论中的大尺度结构的微扰理论,其中包括Horndeski理论和超越。我们利用暗能量的有效场论对参数空间进行建模。对于Horndeski理论,引力场和流体方程在坐标和场的时间相关变换的组合下是不变的。这种对称性使得我们可以构建一种物理绝热模式,将微扰理论的内核固定在压缩极限,并确保最初在广义相对论中推导出的大尺度结构的著名相容性关系在修正引力中也成立。相反,对于Horndeski以外的理论,人们通常不能构造这样的绝热模式。这使得微扰理论的核在压缩极限下发生了修正,从而使得对大尺度结构的相容关系不再成立。然而,我们表明,压缩极限的修改只依赖于线性理论。我们通过计算物质双谱来研究这种违反的观测后果。在压缩极限下,当考虑不同示踪剂之间的互相关时,预期效果最大。此外,个别贡献的1-loop物质功率谱不取消在红外限制的动量积分,修改非线性尺度上的功率谱。

英文摘要:

We study perturbation theory for large-scale structure in the most general scalar-tensor theories propagating a single scalar degree of freedom, which include Horndeski theories and beyond. We model the parameter space using the effective field theory of dark energy. For Horndeski theories, the gravitational field and fluid equations are invariant under a combination of time-dependent transformations of the coordinates and fields. This symmetry allows one to construct a physical adiabatic mode which fixes the perturbation-theory kernels in the squeezed limit and ensures that the well-known consistency relations for large-scale structure, originally derived in general relativity, hold in modified gravity as well. For theories beyond Horndeski, instead, one generally cannot construct such an adiabatic mode. Because of this, the perturbation-theory kernels are modified in the squeezed limit and the consistency relations for large-scale structure do not hold. We show, however, that the modification of the squeezed limit depends only on the linear theory. We investigate the observational consequences of this violation by computing the matter bispectrum. In the squeezed limit, the largest effect is expected when considering the cross-correlation between different tracers. Moreover, the individual contributions to the 1-loop matter power spectrum do not cancel in the infrared limit of the momentum integral, modifying the power spectrum on non-linear scales.
