Weak lensing and gravity theories
We present the theory of weak gravitational lensing in cosmologies with generalized gravity, described in the Lagrangian by a generic function depending on the Ricci scalar and a non-minimally coupled scalar field. We work out the generalized Poisson equations relating the dynamics of the fluctuating components to the two gauge invariant scalar gravitational potentials, fixing the new contribut...
متن کامل3D weak lensing: Modified theories of gravity
Weak lensing (WL) promises to be a particularly sensitive probe of both the growth of large-scale structure as well as the fundamental relation between matter density perturbations and metric perturbations, thus providing a powerful tool with which we may constrain modified theories of gravity (MG) on cosmological scales. Future deep, wide-field WL surveys will provide an unprecedented opportun...
متن کاملWeak lensing in scalar-tensor theories of gravity
This article investigates the signatures of various models of dark energy on weak gravitational lensing, including the complementarity of the linear and non-linear regimes. It investigates quintessence models and their extension to scalar-tensor gravity. The various effects induced by this simplest extension of general relativity are discussed. It is shown that, given the constraints in the Sol...

متن کاملConstraining Modified Gravity and Growth with Weak Lensing ⋆
The idea that we live in a Universe undergoing a period of acceleration is a new, yet strongly held, notion in cosmology. As this can, potentially, be explained with a modification to General Relativity we look at current cosmological data with the purpose of testing aspects of gravity. Firstly we constrain a phenomenological model (mDGP) motivated by a possible extra dimension. This is charact...
