5 Key observables in cosmological science Angular diameter distance D A : Exploiting BAO as standard rulers which measure the angular diameter distance and expansion rate as a function of redshift. Radial distance H -1 : Exploiting redshift distortions as intrinsic anisotropy to decompose the radial distance represented by the inverse of Hubble rate as a function of redshift. Coherent motion G θ : The coherent motion, or flow, of galaxies can be statistically estimated from their effect on the clustering measurements of large redshift surveys, or through the measurement of redshift space distortions.

11 f(r) gravity Corrections are introduced in the Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian to modify the general relativity, which gets influential only low curvature, e.g. late time & not dense region. The corrections can be adjusted to generate the cosmic acceleration, Carroll, Duvvuri, Trodden, Turner (2004:CDTT) cosmic acceleration was discovered with f(r) = -a/r. Ruled out Two distinct branches of f(r) gravity was found depending on the sign of second order derivative of f(r) in terms of R, f RR = d 2 f/dr 2 < 0 f RR = d 2 f/dr 2 > 0 Unstable Stable The original proposal of CDTT is ruled out due to instability.

24 Structure formation of RSD The non-linear solution is derived from dδ m /dt + [(1+δ m )v m ]/a = 0 dv m /dt + Hv m + (v m )v m /a = - ψ/a φ fr - ψ fr = φ k 2 ψ= -3/2 H 02 Ω m δ m /a - 1/2 k 2 φ (1+w BD ) k 2 /a 2 φ = 3H 02 Ω m δ m /a - I(φ) P s (k,μ) = P gg (k) + 2μ 2 P g θ(k) + μ 4 P θθ (k) P s (k,μ) = [P gg (k) + ΔP gg + 2μ 2 P gθ (k) + ΔP g θ + μ 4 P θθ (k) + ΔP θθ + μ 2 A(k) + μ 4 B(k) + μ 6 C(k) +... ] exp[-(kμσ p ) 2 ]

43 Measured coherent motion Results from BOSS maps

44 Future constraints Expectation from DESI Einstein s gravity will be tested at cosmological scale in near future

45 Future work Invisible difference from LCDM model using BOSS then can we tell the difference in future??

46 Conclusion We succeed in measuring both distances and growth function simultaneously using RSD, and ready to test Einstein s gravity at cosmological scales through duality between distances and growth functions. We understand all systematics due to non-linear physics, and the perturbative description works fine the resolution of current experiment, at least two point correlation level. Now we face new challenge to meet the precision level of the high resolution experiment like DESI. We work out the Alcock-Paczynski effect on bispectra, and find that the combined constraint of power spectrum and bispectrum improves the detectability of growth function. We initiate new roadmap to accomplish this combination for the future experiment.
