摘要:

宇宙的加速膨胀仍然是现代宇宙学中的核心开放问题。尽管ΛCDM模型能成功描述广泛观测,但暗能量的物理本质仍未知,推动了对替代引力理论的研究。其中,f(R)模型是广义相对论的有力扩展,能再现ΛCDM-like背景演化而无需引入显式暗能量成分。然而,它们可能在宇宙结构增长上引起偏差,可通过敏感于宇宙扰动的观测者测试。本文利用弱引力透镜约束几种可行的f(R)引力模型。我们分析其对物质功率谱以及收敛和宇宙shear功率谱的影响。我们的分析在贝叶斯框架内使用Cobaya代码及其修改的引力扩展MGCobaya进行,该方法能产生一致的理论预测并将其与当前弱引力透镜和CMB透镜数据进行比较。我们发现标准宇宙学参数对所有考虑的模型保持一致,这与它们的背景退化一致。然而,我们获得了非平凡且模型依赖的约束,针对几种f(R)理论的特征参数。

英文摘要:

The accelerated expansion of the Universe remains one of the central open problems in modern cosmology. While the $Λ$CDM model successfully describes a wide range of observations, the physical nature of dark energy is still unknown, motivating the study of alternative theories of gravity. Among these, $f(R)$ models provide a well-established extension of General Relativity, capable of reproducing a $Λ$CDM-like background evolution without introducing an explicit dark energy component. However, they can induce deviations in the growth of cosmic structures, making them testable through observables sensitive to cosmological perturbations. In this work, we use weak gravitational lensing to constrain several viable $f(R)$ gravity models. We analyze their impact on the matter power spectrum, as well as on the convergence and cosmic shear power spectra. Our analysis is carried out within a Bayesian framework using the \textit{Cobaya} code and its modified gravity extension, \textit{MGCobaya}, which enables consistent theoretical predictions and their comparison with current weak lensing and CMB lensing data. We find that standard cosmological parameters remain consistent with the $Λ$CDM scenario for all models considered, as expected from their background degeneracy. Nevertheless, we obtain non-trivial and model-dependent constraints on the characteristic parameters of several $f(R)$ theories.
