On the degeneracy between $f{\sigma }_8$ tension and its Gaussian process forecasting

Abstract

In this paper we reconstruct the growth and evolution of the cosmic structure of the Universe using Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithms for Gaussian processes [1]. We estimate the difference between the reconstructions that are calculated through a maximization of the kernel hyperparameters and those that are obtained with a complete exploration of the parameter space. We find that the difference between these two approaches is of the order of $1\%$. Furthermore, we compare our results with those obtained by Planck Collaboration 2018 assuming a $\Lambda$CDM model and we do not find a statistically significant difference in the redshift range were the reconstructions of $f{\sigma }_8$ have been made.
