Constraining DGP Gravity from Observational Data
arXiv:0907.4860 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.79.103527
Abstract
The accelerating expansion of our universe at present could be driven by an unknown energy component (Dark Energy) or a modification of general relativity (Modified Gravity). In this note we revisit the constraints on a phenomenological model which interpolates between the pure \LambdaCDM model and the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati (DGP) braneworld model with an additional parameter α. Combining the cosmic microwave background (CMB), baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) and type Ia supernovae (SNIa), as well as some high-redshift observations, such as the gamma-ray bursts (GRB) and the measurements of linear growth factors (LGF), we obtain the tight constraint on the parameter α=0.254\pm0.153 (68% C.L.), which implies that the flat DGP model is incompatible with the current observations, while the pure \LambdaCDM model still fits the data very well. Finally, we simulate the future measurements with higher precisions and find that the constraint on αcan be improved by a factor two, when compared to the present constraints.
