Venice 2013 Bug or feature? Evolution in time: standard candles Conclusion: SNIa are dimmer than expected in a matter universe ! BUT: -Dependence on progenitors? -Contamination? -Environment? -Host galaxy? -Dust? -Lensing? -Unknowns? Ordinary matter
Venice 2013 Cosmological explanation Evolution in time: standard candles There is however a simple cosmological solution If H(z) in the past is smaller (i.e. acceleration), then r(z) is larger: larger distances (for a fixed redshift) make dimmer supernovae a(t) time Local Hubble law Global Hubble law now
Venice 2013 Cosmological constant acceleration, in GR, can only occur if pressure is large and negative Properties: dominant dark, weakly clustered with large negative pressure Einstein 1917

Time view We know so little about the evolution of the universe! We assumed for many years that there were just matter and radiation Venice 2013 matter DE radiation Shall we repeat our mistake and think that there is just a Λ ? BBN CMB
L = crossover scale: 5D gravity dominates at low energy/late times/large scales 4D gravity recovered at high energy/early times/small scales 5D Minkowski bulk: infinite volume extra dimension gravity leakage brane An example of Modified Gravity: DGP (Dvali, Gabadadze, Porrati 2000) Venice 2013

Venice 2013 The past ten years of dark energy models
First found by Horndeski in 1975 rediscovered by Deffayet et al. in 2011 no ghosts, no classical instabilities it modifies gravity! it includes f(R), Brans-Dicke, k-essence, Galileons, etc etc etc The most general 4D scalar field theory with second order equation of motion A quintessential scalar field Saõ Paulo 2013
Venice 2013 The next ten years of DE research Combine observations of background, linear and non-linear perturbations to reconstruct as much as possible the Horndeski model … or, even better, rule it out!
Modified Gravity at the linear level Every Horndeski model is characterized at linear scales by the two observable functions De Felice et al. 2011; L.A. et al.,arXiv: , 2012 Venice 2013

Generality of the Yukawa correction Every Horndeski model induces at linear level, on sub-Hubble scales, a Newton-Yukawa potential where both α and λ depend on space and time Every consistent modification of gravity based on a scalar field must generate this gravitational potential Venice 2013

Euclid’s challenge Growth of matter fluctuations C. Di Porto & L.A Euclid error forecast Present error
IPMU Dark Energy Conference Euclid - Primary Science Goals IssueOur Targets Dark Energy Measure the DE equation of state parameters w0 and wa to a precision of 2% and 10%, respectively, using both expansion history and structure growth. Test of General Relativity Distinguish General Relativity from the simplest modified- gravity theories, by measuring the growth factor exponent γ with a precision of 2% Dark Matter Test the Cold Dark Matter paradigm for structure formation, and measure the sum of the neutrino masses to a precision better than 0.04eV when combined with Planck. The seeds of cosmic structures Improve by a factor of 20 the determination of the initial condition parameters compared to Planck alone. Summary: Euclid’s challenge
