Model selection for modified gravity.
In this article, we review model selection predictions for modified gravity scenarios as an explanation for the observed acceleration of the expansion history of the Universe. We present analytical procedures for calculating expected Bayesian evidence values in two cases: (i) that modified gravity is a simple parametrized extension of general relativity (GR; two nested models), such that a Baye...
متن کاملOn model selection forecasting, Dark Energy and modified gravity
Since Fisher’s work in the 1930s, there has been a method to calculate in advance how well a given experiment will be able to estimate model parameters. This ‘Fisher matrix’ approach has been invaluable in experimental design. In the same spirit, we present here a method to predict how well a given experiment can distinguish between different models, regardless of their parameters. From a Bayes...
متن کاملLocal stability criterion for self-gravitating disks in modified gravity
We study local stability of self-gravitating fluid and stellar disk in the context of modified gravity theories which predict a Yukawa-like term in the gravitational potential of a point mass. We investigate the effect of such a Yukawa-like term on the dynamics of self-gravitating disks. More specifically, we investigate the consequences of the presence of this term for the local stability of t...
متن کاملModified Gravity Theories: Distinguishing from ΛCDM Model
The method and probability of distinguishing between the Λ cold dark matter (ΛCDM) model and modified gravity are studied from future observations for the growth rate of cosmic structure (Euclid redshift survey). We compare the mock observational data to the theoretical cosmic growth rate by modified gravity models, including the extended Dvali–Gabadadze–Porrati (DGP) model, kinetic gravity bra...
متن کاملA New Model of Nonlocal Modified Gravity
In spite of the great successes of General Relativity (GR) it has not got the status of a complete theory of gravity. To modify GR there are motivations coming from its quantum aspects, string theory, astrophysics and cosmology. For example, cosmological solutions of GR contain Big Bang singularity, and Dark Energy as a cause for accelerated expansion of the Universe. This initial cosmological ...
