We investigate in detail the vector contributions to the Lagrangian of Lambda(3) massive gravity in the decoupling limit, the less explored sector of this theory, with the main aim to study the stability of maximally symmetric self-accelerating solutions. Around self-accelerating configurations, vector degrees of freedom become strongly coupled since their kinetic terms vanish; their dynamics is controlled by contributions to the Lagrangian that arise at higher orders in perturbations. Even in the decoupling limit, the vector Lagrangian contains an infinite number of terms. We develop a systematic method to determine in a covariant way the vector Lagrangian at each order in perturbations, fully manifesting the symmetries of the system. We show that, around self-accelerating solutions, the structure of higher order p-form Galileons arise, avoiding the emergence of a sixth ghost Boulware-Deser mode. However, a careful analysis of the corresponding Hamiltonian shows that there are directions along which the Hamiltonian is unbounded from below, signaling an instability that can be interpreted as one of the available fifth modes behaving as a ghost. Hence, we conclude that self-accelerating configurations in the decoupling limit of Lambda(3) massive gravity are generically unstable. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.87.064029

Gravitational-wave cosmological distances in scalar-tensor theories of gravity

Gianmassimo Tasinato, Alice Garoffolo, Daniele Bertacca, Sabino Matarrese

Summary: The propagation of high-frequency gravitational waves in scalar-tensor theories of gravity was analyzed to examine properties of cosmological distances inferred from GW measurements. The study found modifications in both the luminosity and angular distances for GW as compared to General Relativity, with implications for gravitational lensing and time-delays between lensed GW and photons in multimessenger events. The Etherington reciprocity law was proven valid for a perturbed universe within a scalar-tensor framework, showing that lensed GW and their lensed electromagnetic counterparts arrive simultaneously, in line with causality constraints.

Summary: This paper studies the predictions of two modified gravity models beyond linear redshift distortions using N-body simulations and mock galaxy catalogs, finding promising power for testing GR. A major challenge for the future is to create realistic mock galaxy catalogs for both GR and alternative models to fully utilize the statistic power of the DESI survey and understand the impact of systematic effects.

A New Consistency Test for ?CDM Cosmology Using Galaxy Surveys

Jinglan Zheng, Gong-Bo Zhao, Yuting Wang, Xiaoyong Mu, Ruiyang Zhao, Weibing Zhang, Shuo Yuan, David Bacon, Kazuya Koyama

Summary: A new consistency test is proposed to validate the ?CDM cosmology using baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO) and redshift space distortion (RSD) measurements. The test compares the predicted peak position of f sigma (8)(z) based on BAO observables with the peak position offered by RSD measurements. The test is demonstrated using simulated data from the DESI galaxy survey and is argued to complement existing methods and be less susceptible to systematics in RSD analysis.

Furthermore, the implementation of massive neutrinos in COLA simulations and the ability to handle effective field theory of dark energy and modified gravity models are validated through experiments.

Numerical simulations of stochastic inflation using importance sampling

Joseph H. P. Jackson, Hooshyar Assadullahi, Kazuya Koyama, Vincent Vernin, David Wands

Summary: This article demonstrates the usage of importance sampling for reconstructing the statistics of rare cosmological fluctuations in stochastic inflation. The authors developed a publicly available package, PYFPT, that addresses the first-passage time problem of generic one-dimensional Langevin processes and its relation to curvature perturbation. The proposed method is applied to quadratic inflation and benchmarked against semi-analytical results, showing excellent agreement within the estimated statistical error. The computation time is relatively fast and can achieve low probability values compared to the observable universe. The study also investigates the impact of large-field boundaries on the tail of the probability distribution and demonstrates that non-perturbative deviations from Gaussianity are not always of the simple exponential type.

Gravitational wave interactions in Λ3 models of dark energy

A. Emir Gumrukcuoglu, Kazuya Koyama

Summary: We argue that cubic order interactions between scalar and tensor gravitons play crucial roles in the decay of gravitational waves and the gradient instabilities of scalar perturbations. However, the existence of an infinite number of higher order interactions in generic Λ³ models makes it difficult to predict the fate of these instabilities.

Imprints of cosmological tensions in reconstructed gravity

Summary: This study explores modifications of the standard cold dark matter cosmological model and identifies the necessary features for alternative theories to alleviate tensions between cosmological datasets. The results provide important constraints on modified gravity models and suggest that late-time dynamical dark energy and modifications of gravity may not offer a solution to certain tensions.

Studying large-scale structure probes of modified gravity with COLA

Bartolomeo Fiorini, Kazuya Koyama, Albert Izard

Summary: This study investigates the effects of two Modified Gravity (MG) theories on large-scale structure and validates the accuracy of fast approximate COLA simulations in predicting these effects. The results show that using the first three even multipoles of the redshift space power spectrum is sufficient to reproduce the influence of MG theories on the real space power spectrum. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of considering non-linear contributions and suggests that the effects of MG theories on the bispectrum and voids can be dominated by non-linear galaxy bias.

Non-perturbative non-Gaussianity and primordial black holes

A. D. Gow, H. Assadullahi, J. H. P. Jackson, K. Koyama, V. Vennin, D. Wands

Summary: We propose a non-perturbative method to calculate the abundance of primordial black holes based on an arbitrary one-point probability distribution function for the primordial curvature perturbation, P(zeta). This method is essential for considering non-Gaussianities that cannot be treated using conventional perturbative expansions. By relating zeta to a Gaussian field through equating cumulative distribution functions, we can determine the full statistics of the density field. We demonstrate that the intermediate regime, rather than the far tail, is responsible for the enhanced formation of primordial black holes, and show that non-Gaussianity significantly affects the shape of the primordial black hole mass distribution.

Revisiting Vainshtein screening for fast N-body simulations

Guilherme Brando, Kazuya Koyama, Hans A. Winther

Summary: We revisit and extend a method proposed by R. Scoccimarro to incorporate the Vainshtein screening mechanism in N-body simulations, allowing for the study of Horndeski theories that evade the speed limit on gravitational waves. The method computes a scale-dependent gravitational coupling that accounts for the screening of the fifth-force, significantly reducing computational time and complexity compared to solving the full equation of motion. By implementing this method in a COmoving Lagrangian Approximation (COLA) code and comparing it with full N-body simulations, we validate its accuracy and find high agreement for the prediction of the boost function, a crucial quantity for beyond-ACDM models.

Principal reconstructed modes of dark energy and gravity

Marco Raveri, Levon Pogosian, Matteo Martinelli, Kazuya Koyama, Alessandra Silvestri, Gong -Bo Zhao

Summary: In this paper, a non-parametric reconstruction method is presented to determine three time-dependent functions in the cosmological model. The data constraints on the structure of these functions and their eigenmodes are analyzed. The results show that the combination of all data can constrain 15 combined eigenmodes of the three functions and explain the tensions between datasets.

CMB μT cross correlations as a probe of primordial black hole scenarios

Ogan Ozsoy, Gianmassimo Tasinato

Summary: This study proposes a new method to probe inflationary models of primordial black hole (PBH) production by analyzing the characteristics of the primordial power spectrum profile, specifically focusing on the dip and surrounding scales. The research shows that the properties of PBH scenarios can be quantitatively studied by cross correlating CMB mu-distortions and temperature fluctuations, which may be tested in the next generation of CMB experiments.
