Cosmological perturbations through a non-singular ghost-condensate/Galileon bounce

Journal Article Battarra, Lorenzo ; Koehn, Michael ; Lehners, Jean-Luc ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We study the propagation of super-horizon cosmological perturbations in a non-singular bounce spacetime. The model we consider combines a ghost condensate with a Galileon term in order to induce a ghost-free bounce. Our calculation is performed in harmonic gauge, which ensures that the linearized equations of motion remain well-defined and non-singular throughout. We find that, despite the fact that near the bounce the speed of sound becomes imaginary, super-horizon curvature perturbations remain essentially constant across the bounce. In fact, we show that there is a time close to the bounce where curvature perturbations of all wavelengths are required to bemore »« less

Matter bispectrum in cubic Galileon cosmologies

Journal Article Bartolo, Nicola ; Bellini, Emilio ; Matarrese, Sabino ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

In this paper we obtain the bispectrum of dark matter density perturbations in the frame of covariant cubic Galileon theories. This result is obtained by means of a semi-analytic approach to second-order perturbations in Galileon cosmologies, assuming Gaussian initial conditions. In particular, we show that, even in the presence of large deviations of the linear growth-rate w.r.t. the ΛCDM one, at the bispectrum level such deviations are reduced to a few percent.

Nonlinear structure formation in the cubic Galileon gravity model

Journal Article Barreira, Alexandre ; Li, Baojiu ; Hellwing, Wojciech A. ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We model the linear and nonlinear growth of large scale structure in the Cubic Galileon gravity model, by running a suite of N-body cosmological simulations using the ECOSMOG code. Our simulations include the Vainshtein screening effect, which reconciles the Cubic Galileon model with local tests of gravity. In the linear regime, the amplitude of the matter power spectrum increases by ∼ 20% with respect to the standard ΛCDM model today. The modified expansion rate accounts for ∼ 15% of this enhancement, while the fifth force is responsible for only ∼ 5%. This is because the effective unscreened gravitational strength deviatesmore »« less

Testing a generalized cubic Galileon gravity model with the Coma Cluster

Journal Article Terukina, Ayumu ; Yamamoto, Kazuhiro ; Okabe, Nobuhiro ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We obtain a constraint on the parameters of a generalized cubic Galileon gravity model exhibiting the Vainshtein mechanism by using multi-wavelength observations of the Coma Cluster. The generalized cubic Galileon model is characterized by three parameters of the turning scale associated with the Vainshtein mechanism, and the amplitude of modifying a gravitational potential and a lensing potential. X-ray and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) observations of the intra-cluster medium are sensitive to the gravitational potential, while the weak-lensing (WL) measurement is specified by the lensing potential. A joint fit of a complementary multi-wavelength dataset of X-ray, SZ and WL measurements enables us tomore »« less

Quantum corrections for the cubic Galileon in the covariant language

Journal Article Saltas, Ippocratis D. ; Vitagliano, Vincenzo - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We present for the first time an explicit exposition of quantum corrections within the cubic Galileon theory including the effect of quantum gravity, in a background- and gauge-invariant manner, employing the field-reparametrisation approach of the covariant effective action at 1-loop. We show that the consideration of gravitational effects in combination with the non-linear derivative structure of the theory reveals new interactions at the perturbative level, which manifest themselves as higher-operators in the associated effective action, which' relevance is controlled by appropriate ratios of the cosmological vacuum and the Galileon mass scale. The significance and concept of the covariant approach inmore »« less
