Cosmological Signatures of Curvature-Coupled Dark Energy

Abdolali Banihashemi, Farbod Hassani, Alessandro Casalino +2

We study a curvature-coupled dark energy model that can modify cosmological evolution both before recombination and during the late-time accelerated era. The model belongs to the c…

The growth of density perturbations in the last 10 billion years from tomographic large-scale structure data

Carlos García-García, Jaime Ruiz Zapatero, David Alonso +5

In order to investigate the origin of the ongoing tension between the amplitude of matter fluctuations measured by weak lensing experiments at low redshifts and the value inferred…

Fully relativistic predictions in Horndeski gravity from standard Newtonian N-body simulations

Guilherme Brando, Kazuya Koyama, David Wands +3

The N-body gauge allows the introduction of relativistic effects in Newtonian cosmological simulations. Here we extend this framework to general Horndeski gravity theories, and inv…

Theoretical priors in scalar-tensor cosmologies: Shift-symmetric Horndeski models

Dina Traykova, Emilio Bellini, Pedro G. Ferreira +3

Attempts at constraining theories of late time accelerated expansion often assume broad priors for the parameters in their phenomenological description. Focusing on shift-symmetric…

Comparison of different approaches to the quasi-static approximation in Horndeski models

Francesco Pace, Richard Battye, Emilio Bellini +3

A quasi-static approximation (QSA) for modified gravity can be applied in a number of ways. We consider three different analytical formulations based on applying this approximation…

Theoretical priors in scalar-tensor cosmologies: Thawing quintessence

Carlos García-García, Emilio Bellini, Pedro G. Ferreira +2

The late time acceleration of the Universe can be characterized in terms of an extra, time dependent, component of the universe -- dark energy. The simplest proposal for dark energ…
