We conduct a Markov Chain Monte Carlo study of the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati (DGP) self-accelerating braneworld scenario given the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy, supernovae and Hubble constant data by implementing an effective dark energy prescription for modified gravity into a standard Einstein-Boltzmann code. We find no way to alleviate the tension between distance measures and horizon scale growth in this model. Growth alterations due to perturbations propagating into the bulk appear as excess CMB anisotropy at the lowest multipoles. In a flat cosmology, the maximum likelihood DGP model is nominally a 5.3 sigma poorer fit than Lambda CDM. Curvature can reduce the tension between distance measures but only at the expense of exacerbating the problem with growth leading to a 4.8 sigma result that is dominated by the low multipole CMB temperature spectrum. While changing the initial conditions to reduce large scale power can flatten the temperature spectrum, this also suppresses the large angle polarization spectrum in violation of recent results from WMAP5. The failure of this model highlights the power of combining growth and distance measures in cosmology as a test of gravity on the largest scales.

We propose two improved parameterized form for the growth index of the linear matter perturbations: (I) $gamma(z)=gamma_0+(gamma_{infty}-gamma_0){zover z+1}$ and (II) $gamma(z)=gamma_0+gamma_1 frac{z}{z+1}+(gamma_{infty}-gamma_1-gamma_0)(frac{z}{z+1}
)^{alpha}$. With these forms of $gamma(z)$, we analyze the accuracy of the approximation the growth factor $f$ by $Omega^{gamma(z)}_m$ for both the $omega$CDM model and the DGP model. For the first improved parameterized form, we find that the approximation accuracy is enhanced at the high redshifts for both kinds of models, but it is not at the low redshifts. For the second improved parameterized form, it is found that $Omega^{gamma(z)}_m$ approximates the growth factor $f$ very well for all redshifts. For chosen $alpha$, the relative error is below 0.003% for the $Lambda$CDM model and 0.028% for the DGP model when $Omega_{m}=0.27$. Thus, the second improved parameterized form of $gamma(z)$ should be useful for the high precision constraint on the growth index of different models with the observational data. Moreover, we also show that $alpha$ depends on the equation of state $omega$ and the fractional energy density of matter $Omega_{m0}$, which may help us learn more information about dark energy and DGP models.
We perform a general test of the $Lambda{rm CDM}$ and $w {rm CDM}$ cosmological models by comparing constraints on the geometry of the expansion history to those on the growth of structure. Specifically, we split the total matter energy density, $Ome
ga_M$, and (for $w {rm CDM}$) dark energy equation of state, $w$, into two parameters each: one that captures the geometry, and another that captures the growth. We constrain our split models using current cosmological data, including type Ia supernovae, baryon acoustic oscillations, redshift space distortions, gravitational lensing, and cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies. We focus on two tasks: (i) constraining deviations from the standard model, captured by the parameters $DeltaOmega_M equiv Omega_M^{rm grow}-Omega_M^{rm geom}$ and $Delta w equiv w^{rm grow}-w^{rm geom}$, and (ii) investigating whether the $S_8$ tension between the CMB and weak lensing can be translated into a tension between geometry and growth, i.e. $DeltaOmega_M eq 0$, $Delta w eq 0$. In both the split $Lambda{rm CDM}$ and $w {rm CDM}$ cases, our results from combining all data are consistent with $DeltaOmega_M = 0$ and $Delta w = 0$. If we omit BAO/RSD data and constrain the split $w {rm CDM}$ cosmology, we find the data prefers $Delta w<0$ at $3.6sigma$ significance and $DeltaOmega_M>0$ at $4.2sigma$ evidence. We also find that for both CMB and weak lensing, $DeltaOmega_M$ and $S_8$ are correlated, with CMB showing a slightly stronger correlation. The general broadening of the contours in our extended model does alleviate the $S_8$ tension, but the allowed nonzero values of $DeltaOmega_M$ do not encompass the $S_8$ values that would point toward a mismatch between geometry and growth as the origin of the tension.
The dark energy plus cold dark matter ($Lambda$CDM) cosmological model has been a demonstrably successful framework for predicting and explaining the large-scale structure of Universe and its evolution with time. Yet on length scales smaller than $si
m 1$ Mpc and mass scales smaller than $sim 10^{11} M_{odot}$, the theory faces a number of challenges. For example, the observed cores of many dark-matter dominated galaxies are both less dense and less cuspy than naively predicted in $Lambda$CDM. The number of small galaxies and dwarf satellites in the Local Group is also far below the predicted count of low-mass dark matter halos and subhalos within similar volumes. These issues underlie the most well-documented problems with $Lambda$CDM: Cusp/Core, Missing Satellites, and Too-Big-to-Fail. The key question is whether a better understanding of baryon physics, dark matter physics, or both will be required to meet these challenges. Other anomalies, including the observed planar and orbital configurations of Local Group satellites and the tight baryonic/dark matter scaling relations obeyed by the galaxy population, have been less thoroughly explored in the context of $Lambda$CDM theory. Future surveys to discover faint, distant dwarf galaxies and to precisely measure their masses and density structure hold promising avenues for testing possible solutions to the small-scale challenges going forward. Observational programs to constrain or discover and characterize the number of truly dark low-mass halos are among the most important, and achievable, goals in this field over then next decade. These efforts will either further verify the $Lambda$CDM paradigm or demand a substantial revision in our understanding of the nature of dark matter.
We show that a class of solutions of minimal supergravity in five dimensions is given by lifts of three--dimensional Einstein--Weyl structures of hyper-CR type. We characterise this class as most general near--horizon limits of supersymmetric solutio
ns to the five--dimensional theory. In particular, we deduce that a compact spatial section of a horizon can only be a Berger sphere, a product metric on $S^1times S^2$ or a flat three-torus. We then consider the problem of reconstructing all supersymmetric solutions from a given near--horizon geometry. By exploiting the ellipticity of the linearised field equations we demonstrate that the moduli space of transverse infinitesimal deformations of a near--horizon geometry is finite--dimensional.
We consider the evolution of the vacuum energy in the DGP model according to the holographic principle under the assumption that the relation linking the IR and UV cut-offs still holds in this scenario. The model is studied when the IR cut-off is cho
sen to be the Hubble scale $H^{-1}$, the particle horizon $R_{rm ph}$ and the future event horizon $R_{rm eh}$, respectively. And the two branches of the DGP model are also taken into account. Through numerical analysis, we find that in the cases of $H^{-1}$ in the (+) branch and $R_{rm eh}$ in both branches, the vacuum energy can play the role of dark energy. Moreover, when considering the combination of the vacuum energy and the 5D gravity effect in both branches, the equation of state of the effective dark energy may cross -1, which may lead to the Big Rip singularity. Besides, we constrain the model with the Type Ia supernovae and baryon oscillation data and find that our model is consistent with current data within $1sigma$, and that the observations prefer either a pure holographic dark energy or a pure DGP model
