A trium test on beyond ΛCDM triggering parameters

Abstract

AbstractWe performed a Bayesian study on three beyond ΛCDM phenomenological triggering parameters, the growth indexγ, the dark energy equation of state parameterωand the lensing deviation from the GR prediction parameter Σ, using the latest cosmological geometric, growth and lensing probes, all in a consistent implementation within the modified gravity cosmological solver code MGCLASS. We find, when we combined all our probes, i.e. the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the baryonic acoustic oscilation (BAO), the growth measurementsfσ8and the 3×2pt joint analysis of weak lensing and galaxy clustering in photometric redshift surveys, assuming flat space, constraints compatible with general relativity and ΛCDM withω= -1.025 ± 0.045, and Σ = 0.992 ± 0.022 at the 68% level, whileγ= 0.633±0.044 is still within ∼ 2σfrom the ΛCDM value ofγ∼ 0.55, and that when Σ is considered as constant; whileγℓ= -0.025 ±0.045 when the lensing parameter is parameterised as function of a lensing index, introduced for the first time in this work, as Σ(z) = Ωm(z)γℓ.
