Portsmouth 2008 Can we detect traces of modified gravity at background linear level ? non-linear { } Modified gravity

Portsmouth 2008 What is gravity ? A universal force in 4D mediated by a massless tensor field What is modified gravity ? What is modified gravity ? A non-universal force in nD mediated by (possibly massive) tensor, vector and scalar fields

Portsmouth 2008 Cosmology and modified gravity in laboratory in the solar system at astrophysical scales at cosmological scales } very limited time/space/energy scales; only baryons complicated by non-linear/non- gravitational effects unlimited scales; mostly linear processes; baryons, dark matter, dark energy !

Portsmouth 2008 f(R) models are simple and self-contained (no need of potentials) easy to produce acceleration (first inflationary model) high-energy corrections to gravity likely to introduce higher- order terms particular case of scalar-tensor and extra-dimensional theory eg higher order corrections Let’s start with one of the simplest MG model: f(R) Simplest MG (II): f(R)

Portsmouth 2008 Is this already ruled out by local gravity? is a scalar-tensor theory with Brans-Dicke parameter ω=0 or a coupled dark energy model with coupling β=1/2 (on a local minimum) α λ

Portsmouth 2008 Probing gravity with weak lensing In General Relativity, lensing is caused by the “lensing potential” and this is related to the matter perturbations via Poisson’s equation. Therefore the lensing signal depends on two modified gravity functions and in the growth function in the WL power spectrum {
