Cosmology Basics

We see photons today from last scattering surface when the universe was just 400,000 years old The temperature of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is very nearly the same in all directions.

Horizon Problem Hubble Radius =c/H (Distance light travels as the Universe doubles in size) at t=400,000 years How are these two spots correlated with one another?

Horizon Problem: Take 2 Distance Time Distance between 2 spots in CMB t = 400,000 yrs Hubble Radius

Horizon Problem: Take 2 Distance Time Distance between 2 spots in CMB t = 400,000 yrs Hubble Radius

Horizon Problem: Take 2 Distance Time Distance between 2 spots in CMB t = 400,000 yrs Hubble Radius

Horizon Problem: Take 2 Distance Time Distance between 2 spots in CMB t = 400,000 yrs Hubble Radius These distances are called “outside the horizon”

Comoving Horizon  is called the comoving horizon. For particles which move at the speed of light ds 2 =0, so dx=dt/a. Integrating up to time t gives the total comoving distance traveled by light since the beginning of expansion. Exercise: Compute  in a matter dominated and radiation dominated universe

Hubble Radius Can rewrite  as integral over comoving Hubble radius (aH) -1, roughly the comoving distance light can travel as the universe expands by a factor of 2.

Horizon Problem: Take 3 Compare comoving Cosmological Scales with comoving Hubble Radius These scales entered the horizon after recombination, too late to have equilibrated

Hubble Radius Can rewrite  as integral over comoving Hubble radius (aH) -1, roughly the comoving distance light can travel as the universe expands by a factor of 2. The horizon can be large even if the Hubble radius is small: e.g. if most of the contribution to  came from early times.

Inflation in terms of Comoving Distances Cosmological scales outside the horizon

Distance Time Distance between 2 spots in CMB t = 400,000 yrs Hubble Radius Inflation Inflation in terms of Physical Distances

Early Dark Energy Inflation correspond to an epoch in which the comoving Hubble radius decreases. Inflation is an epoch early in which dark energy dominated the universe. This early dark energy has a density ~ times larger than late dark energy.

Typically model inflation with scalar field Require: ρP Simplest models are single- field slow-roll models

Perturbations to the FRW metric

Seeds of Structure Quantum mechanical fluctuations generated during inflation Perturbations freeze out when distances get larger than horizon Evolution when perturbations re-enter horizon Distortions in Space-Time

Coherent picture of formation of structure in the universe Quantum Mechanical Fluctuations during Inflation Perturbation Growth: Pressure vs. Gravity t ~100,000 years Matter perturbations grow into non- linear structures observed today Photons freestream: Inhomogeneities turn into anisotropies  m,  r,  b, f

Now determine the evolution of perturbations when they re-enter the horizon.

CMB Acoustic Oscillations Pressure of radiation acts against clumping If a region gets overdense, pressure acts to reduce the density: restoring force

Before recombination, electrons and photons are tightly coupled: equations reduce to Displacement of a string Temperature perturbation very similar to … CMB Acoustic Oscillations

Why peaks and troughs?  Vibrating String: Characteristic frequencies because ends are tied down  Temperature in the Universe: Small scale modes begin oascillating earlier than large scale modes

with In Fourier space, this becomes CMB Acoustic Oscillations Forced Harmonic Oscillator

Peaks at: Peaks show up at angular scale CMB Acoustic Oscillations

Peaks at: Peaks show up at angular scale The Universe is Flat! CMB Acoustic Oscillations

Peaks at: Peaks show up at angular scale In flat models, peak locations determine one combination of parameters CMB Acoustic Oscillations

Constraints in Degeneracy Direction come from peak heights Much more difficult to pin down – especially when combining experiments – as sensitive calibration is required

with Immediately see: lower ω (e.g. with more baryons) -> greater odd/even peak disparity. CMB Acoustic Oscillations

Reducing the matter density brings the epoch of equality closer to recombination Forcing term larger when potentials decay During the radiation era, potentials decay, leading to a larger anisotropy at first peak

Forcing term larger when potentials decay During the radiation era, potentials decay, leading to a larger anisotropy at first peak Reducing the matter density brings the epoch of equality closer to recombination

CMB Constraints on Baryonic and Dark Matter Densities Some movement from WMAP (gray contours) to Planck (red) but … bottom line is: strong evidence for non- baryonic dark matter

Growth of Structure: Gravitational Instability Fundamental equation governing overdensity in a matter-dominated universe when scales are within horizon: Define overdensity:

Growth of Structure: Gravitational Instability Example 1: No expansion (H=0,energy density constant)  Two modes: growing and decaying  Growing mode is exponential (the more matter there is, the stronger is the gravitational force)

Gravitational Instability in an Expanding Universe Example 2: Matter density equal to the critical density in an expanding universe. Exercise : Show that, in this universe, a=(t/t 0 ) 2/3 so H=2/(3t) The coefficient of the 3rd term is then 3H 2 /2, so

Gravitational Instability in an Expanding Universe Insert solution of the form: δ~t p Collect terms: Quadratic formula yields: Growing mode: δ~a. Dilution due to expansion counters attraction due to overdensity. Result: power law growth instead of exponential growth

Argument for Dark Matter Perturbations have grown by (at most) a factor of 1000 since recombination. If this map accurately reflected the level of inhomogeneity at recombination, over- densities today should be less than 10%. I.e. we should not exist

MOdified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) (Milgrom 1983): Acceleration due to gravity (v 2 /r for circular orbit) New,fundamental scale For a point mass

This leads to a simple prediction So MOND predicts When the acceleration scale is fixed from rotation curves, this is a zero-parameter prediction!

… which has been verified* (Tully- Fisher Law) McGaugh 2011 * but see Gnedin ( ), Foreman & Scott ( )

MOND does a good job doing what it was constructed to do Fit Rotation Curves of many galaxies w/ only one free parameter (instead of 3 used in CDM). McGaugh

Making MOND Serious  MOND is not a covariant theory that can be used to make predictions for cosmology  Challenge the implicit assumption of General Relativity that the metric in the Einstein-Hilbert action is the same as the metric that couples to matter  Allow  Scalar-Tensor model is defined by dynamics S[Φ]

Bekenstein & Milgrom 1984 There is a new fundamental mass scale in the Lagrangian Making MOND Serious Same scale used for quintessence or any other approach to acceleration!

Making MOND Serious  Scalar-Tensor models give same light deflection prediction as GR. Exercise: Prove this.  Far from the center of galaxies, signal should fall of as 1/R 2. Exercise: Prove this.

 Scalar-Tensor Models fail because of lensing constraints  Add a vector field (to get more lensing w/o dark matter) to get TeVeS (Bekenstein 2004)  Relation between 2 metrics now more complex Breaks theorem about light deflection  We can now do cosmology: is there enough clustering w/o dark matter? Making MOND Serious

Inhomogeneities in TeVeS Perturb all fields: (metric, matter, radiation) + (scalar field, vector field) E.g., the perturbed metric is where a depends on time only and the two potentials depend on space and time. TeVeS Standard Growth

Scorecard for Modified Gravity  Appears to do at least as well as DM on small scales  Two coincidences/succe sses: (i) requires same scale as MG models that drive acceleration (ii) fix to get lensing also enhances growth of structure  Problems on large scales persist

Neutrinos affect large scale structure Recall This fraction of the total density does not participate in collapse on scales smaller than the freestreaming scale At the relevant time, this scale is 0.02 Mpc -1 for a 1 eV ; power on scales smaller than this is suppressed.

Even for a small neutrino mass, get large impact on structure: power spectrum is excellent probe of neutrino mass Neutrinos affect large scale structure

Zhao et al Neutrinos affect large scale structure

I. Stunning Agreement with a wide variety of observations CMB Temperature CMB Polarization Galaxy clustering Supernovae Lensing of CMB[!] Gravitational Lensing

II. Requires New Physics  Non-Baryonic Dark Matter (SUSY?)  Inflation (Grand Unified Theory?)  Dark Energy (Cosmological Constant?)  Right-Handed Neutrinos (Grand Unified Theory?)

III. You need to come up with creative alternatives!  Modified Gravity to drive acceleration?  Modified Gravity instead of dark matter?  Moving beyond WIMPs?  Complexity in the Neutrino Sector?  …

Sterile neutrinos  Neff Sterile neutrinos as DM Asymmetric DM Modified Gravity for DE Other Alternatives

Majorana Mass: m L =m; m D =m R =0 Dirac Mass: m D =m; m L =m R =0 See-Saw Mechanism: m D =m; m R =M; m L =0 Alternatives: Light Sterile Neutrinos Standard See-Saw mechanism has M>>m. Explains why observed neutrino masses ( m 2 /M) are so small. But M could be small as well; in that case, sterile neutrinos might be observable, both in the Lab and in the cosmos

Sterile neutrinos can be produced via oscillations where the mixing angle needs to be computed in matter and the usual sin 2 (ΔEt) term averages to ½ since the interaction time is very fast Alternatives: Light Sterile Neutrinos

Sterile neutrinos can be the Dark Matter To be cold, need a mass M greater than ~ keV. Thermal production does not quite work, but there are other possibilities Alternatives: Light Sterile Neutrinos

Sterile neutrinos can be the Dark Matter To be cold, need a mass M greater than ~ keV. Thermal production does not quite work, but there are other possibilities … and we might have seen a signature of this over the past year Alternatives: Light Sterile Neutrinos

Alternative: Asymmetric Dark Matter Instead of annihilation freeze-out Abundance could be fixed by asymmetry

Alternative: Asymmetric Dark Matter Instead of annihilation freeze-out Abundance could be fixed by asymmetry Natural value is the same as baryon asymmetry  m DM ~5-10 eV

Perturbations to the FRW metric The scalar potentials typically satisfy Φ = - Ψ (but beware sign conventions) so we will use them interchangably.

During inflation,  fluctuates quantum mechanically around a smooth background The mean value of  is zero, but its variance is Get contributions from all scales equally if with n=1 (scale-invariant spectrum)

Inflation predicts … Two regions with the scalar field taking the same value at slightly different times have relative potential But The last equality following from the equations of motion

Leading to … RMS fluctuations in the scalar field are roughly equal to the Hubble rate, and the Friedmann equation tells us that H 2 ~GV Each Fourier mode is associated with  [the value of  when k exits the horizon].

Equation of motion for a scalar field in an expanding Universe Inflation: Scalar Field Slow roll approximation sets dφ/dt=-V’/3H Since H is very large, V~H 2 m Pl 2 is also large, typically of order (10 16 GeV) 4, much larger than the dark energy today

Super-horizon Transfer Function Growth function + Nonlinearities Earlier than a EQ, most of the energy density is relativistic; afterwards non-relativistic

Gravitational Potential Poisson’s Equation: In Fourier space, this becomes: So the gravitational potential remains constant! Delicate balance between attraction due to gravitational instability and dilution due to expansion. Only if all the energy is in non-relativistic matter. Dark energy or massive neutrinos lead to potential decay.

Matter Power Spectrum Poisson says: So the power spectrum of matter (which measures the density squared) scales as: Valid on large scales which entered the horizon at late times when the universe was matter dominated.

Sub-horizon modes oscillate and decay in the radiation-dominated era Newton’s equations - with radiation as the source - reduce to with analytic solution Here using η as time variable

Expect less power on small scales For scales that enter the horizon well before equality, So, we expect the transfer function to fall off as

Shape of the Matter Power Spectrum The turnover scale is the one that enters the horizon at the epoch of matter-radiation equality: Therefore, measuring the shape of the power spectrum will give a precise estimate of  m Log since structure grows slightly during radiation era when potential decays Large scales Small scales

Turnover scale sensitive to the matter density

Inhomogeneities in TeVeS Skordis 2006 Skordis, Mota, Ferreira, & Boehm 2006 Dodelson & Liguori 2006 Perturb all fields: (metric, matter, radiation) + (scalar field, vector field) E.g., the perturbed metric is where a depends on time only and the two potentials depend on space and time.

Inhomogeneities in TeVeS Other fields are perturbed in the standard way; only the vector perturbation is subtle. Constraint leaves only 3 DOF’s. Two of these decouple from scalar perturbations, so we need track only the longitudinal component defined via:

Inhomogeneities in TeVeS For large K, no growing mode: vector follows particular solution. For small K, growing mode comes to dominate. Particular soln Large K Small K

Inhomogeneities in TeVeS This drives difference in the two gravitational potentials … Small K Large K

Inhomogeneities in TeVeS Small K Large K Standard Growth … which leads to enhanced growth in matter perturbations!
