2 Cosmic acceleration Many independent data sets indicate the expansion of the Universe is accelerating Standard cosmology requires 70% of unknown dark energy

3 Dark energy v Dark gravity Cosmological constant is the simplest candidate but the theoretical prediction is more than 50 orders of magnitude larger than the observed values Most embarrassing observation in physics Standard model of cosmology is based on GR but we have never tested GR on cosmological scales cf. precession of perihelion dark planet v GR

4 Is cosmology probing breakdown of GR on large scales?

7 Examples of modified gravity models Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati braneworld model gravity leaks into 5D on larges scales and the Universe self-accelerates without cosmological constant f(r) gravity there is no cosmological constant at low energies yet the expansion of the universe can accelerate It is extremely difficult to construct a consistent theory

8 General picture Largest scales gravity is modified so that the universe accelerates without dark energy Large scale structure scales gravity is still modified by a fifth force from scalar graviton 1 H 0 r * GR Modified gravity Scalar tensor Small scales (solar system) GR is recovered

9 How do we test gravity in cosmology? Newton potential Ψ controls dynamics of non relativistic particles Space curvature Φ also deflects lights In GR there is a special relation between the two Ψ=Φ dynamical mass = lensing mass in GR

19 General picture Largest scales gravity is modified so that the universe accelerates without dark energy Large scale structure scales gravity is still modified by a fifth force from scalar graviton model independent tests of GR Small scales (solar system) 1 H 0 r * GR Linear scales Modified gravity Scalar tensor GR is recovered Clifton, Ferreira, Padilla & Skordis Phys. Rept. 513 (2012) 1

20 How to recover GR on small scales? On non-liner scales, the fifth force must be screened by some mechanisms Joyce, Jain, Khoury & Trodden arxiv: Chameleon mechanism The mass of a scalar mode becomes large in dense regions Khoury & Weltman Phys. Rev. Lett. 93 (2004) Vainshtein mechanism Non-liner derivative self-interactions becomes large in a dense region first discovered in the context of massive gravity models, which have attracted renewed interest recently also appears naturally in braneworld models

21 Behaviour of gravity There regimes of gravity GR Scalar tensor In most models, the scalar mode obeys non-linear equations describing the transition from the scalar tensor theory on large scales to GR on small scales g / cm, g / cm, 10 g / cm Understandings of non-linear clustering require N-body simulations where the non-linear scalar equation needs to be solved ρ ρ ρ crit galaxy solar 3

22 N-body simulations GR superposition of forces Fr () = m f ( r r) i i i i Modified gravity models the non-linear nature of the scalar field equation implies that the superposition rule does not hold It is required to solve the non-linear scalar equation directly on a mesh a computational challenge! The breakdown of the superposition rule has interesting consequences

23 N-body Simulations Multi-level adaptive mesh refinement solve Poisson equation using a linear Gauss-Seidel relaxation add a scalar field solver using a non-linear Gauss Seidel relaxation ECOSMOG Li, Zhao, Teyssier, KK JCAP1201 (2012) 051 MG-GADGET Puchwein, Baldi, Springel MNRAS (2013) ISIS Llinares, Mota, Winther arxiv:

24 Where to test GR GR is recovered in high dense regions (we consider the chameleon mechanism here) GR is restored in massive dark matter halos Scalar tensor GR Environmental effects Even if dark matter halo itself is small, if it happens to live near massive halos, GR is recovered Using simulations, we can develop criteria to identify the places where GR is not recovered Zhao, Li, KK Phy. Rev. Lett. 107 (2011)

25 Creating a screening map It is essential to find places where GR is not recovered Small galaxies in underdense regions SDSS galaxies within 200 Mpc Cabre, Vikram, Zhao, Jain, KK JCAP 1207 (2012) 034 (we consider the chameleon mechanism here) GR is recovered

26 Tests of gravity on small scales dwarf galaxies in voids strong modified gravity effects Galaxies are brighter Pulsers pulsate faster Various other tests Jain & VanderPlas JCAP 1110 (2011) 032 Hui, Nicolis & Stubbs Phys. Rev. D80 (2009) Davis et.al. Phys. Rev. D85 (2012) Jain et.al. ApJ 779 (2013) 39 Vikram et.al. JCAP1308 (2013) 020 (we consider the chameleon mechanism here)

27 Constraints on chameleon gravity Jain et.al Interaction range of the extra force that modifies GR in the cosmological background GR Non-linear regime is powerful for constraining chameleon gravity Astrophysical tests could give better constraints than the solar system tests and can be done by piggybacking ongoing surveys

28 Summary In the next decade, we may be able to detect the failure of GR on cosmological scales Linear scales model independent tests of gravity SUMIRE Non-linear scales novel astrophysical tests of gravity (in a model dependent way) EUCLID It is required to develop theoretical models from fundamental theory
