Abstract

We study models of late-time cosmic acceleration in terms of scalar-tensor theories generalized to include a certain class of nonlinear derivative interaction of the scalar field. The nonlinear effect suppresses the scalar-mediated force at short distances to pass solar-system tests of gravity. It is found that the expansion history until today is almost indistinguishable from that of the {Lambda}CDM model or some (phantom) dark energy models, but the fate of the universe depends clearly on the model parameter. The growth index of matter density perturbations is computed to show that its past asymptotic value is given by 9/16, while the value today is as small as 0.4.

Constraints on scalar-tensor models of dark energy from observational and local gravity tests

Journal Article Tsujikawa, Shinji ; Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, Tokyo University of Science, 1-3, Kagurazaka, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 162-8601 ; Uddin, Kotub ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We construct a family of viable scalar-tensor models of dark energy (DE) which possess a phase of late-time acceleration preceded by a standard matter era, while at the same time satisfying the local gravity constraints (LGC). The coupling Q between the scalar field and the nonrelativistic matter in the Einstein frame is assumed to be constant in our scenario, which is a generalization of f(R) gravity theories corresponding to the coupling Q=-1/{radical}(6). We find that these models can be made compatible with local gravity constraints even when |Q| is of the order of unity through a chameleon mechanism, if themore »« less

FORECAST FOR THE PLANCK PRECISION ON THE TENSOR-TO-SCALAR RATIO AND OTHER COSMOLOGICAL PARAMETERS

Journal Article Burigana, C ; Gruppuso, A ; Mandolesi, N ; ... - Astrophysical Journal

The Planck satellite, successfully launched on 2009 May 14 to measure with unprecedented accuracy the primary cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies, is operating as expected. The Standard Model of the Universe ('concordance' model) provides the current realistic context to analyze the CMB and other cosmological/astrophysical data, inflation in the early universe being part of it. The Planck performance for the crucial primordial parameter r, the tensor-to-scalar ratio related to primordial B-mode polarization, will depend on the quality of data analysis and interpretation. The Ginzburg-Landau (G-L) approach to inflation allows us to take high benefit of the CMB data. The fourth-degreemore »« less

The growth of matter perturbations in some scalar-tensor DE models

Journal Article Gannouji, Radouane ; Polarski, David - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We consider asymptotically stable scalar-tensor dark energy (DE) models for which the equation of state parameter w{sub DE} tends to zero in the past. The viable models are of the phantom type today: however, this phantomness is milder than in general relativity if we take into account the varying gravitational constant when dealing with the SNIa data. We study further the growth of matter perturbations and we find a scaling behaviour on large redshifts which could provide an important constraint. In particular, the growth of matter perturbations on large redshifts in our scalar-tensor models is close to the standard behaviourmore »« less

String-inspired Gauss-Bonnet gravity reconstructed from the universe expansion history and yielding the transition from matter dominance to dark energy

Journal Article Cognola, Guido ; Zerbini, Sergio ; Elizalde, Emilio ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We consider scalar-Gauss-Bonnet and modified Gauss-Bonnet gravities and reconstruct these theories from the universe expansion history. In particular, we are able to construct versions of those theories (with and without ordinary matter), in which the matter-dominated era makes a transition to the cosmic acceleration epoch. In several of the cases under consideration, matter dominance and the deceleration-acceleration transition occur in the presence of matter only. The late-time acceleration epoch is described asymptotically by de Sitter space but may also correspond to an exact {lambda}CDM cosmology, having in both cases an effective equation of state parameter w close to -1.

Evolution of linear cosmological perturbations and its observational implications in Galileon-type modified gravity

Journal Article Kobayashi, Tsutomu ; Suzuki, Daichi ; Tashiro, Hiroyuki - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

A scalar-tensor theory of gravity can be made not only to account for the current cosmic acceleration, but also to satisfy solar-system and laboratory constraints, by introducing a nonlinear derivative interaction for the scalar field. Such an additional scalar degree of freedom is called 'Galileon'. The basic idea is inspired by the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati braneworld, but one can construct a ghost-free model that admits a self-accelerating solution. We perform a fully relativistic analysis of linear perturbations in Galileon cosmology. Although the Galileon model can mimic the background evolution of standard {Lambda}CDM cosmology, the behavior of perturbation is quite different. It ismore »« less
