We study the effects of dark energy (DE) anisotropic stress on features of the matter power spectrum (PS). We employ the Parametrized Post-Friedmannian (PPF) formalism to emulate an effective DE, and model its anisotropic stress properties through a two-parameter equation that governs its overall amplitude ($g_0$) and transition scale ($c_g$). For the background cosmology, we consider different equations of state to model DE including a constant $w_0$ parameter, and models that provide thawing (CPL) and freezing (nCPL) behaviors. We first constrain these parameters by using the Pantheon, BAO, $H_0$ and CMB Planck data. Then, we analyze the role played by these parameters in the linear PS. In order for the anisotropic stress not to provoke deviations larger than $10%$ and $5%$ with respect to the $Lambda$CDM PS at $k sim 0.01 ,h/text{Mpc}$, the parameters have to be in the range $-0.30< g_0 < 0.32$, $0 leq c_g^2 < 0.01$ and $-0.15 < g_0 < 0.16$, $0 leq c_g^2 < 0.01$, respectively. Additionally, we compute the leading nonlinear corrections to the PS using standard perturbation theory in real and redshift space, showing that the differences with respect to the $Lambda$CDM are enhanced, especially for the quadrupole and hexadecapole RSD multipoles.

One of the main goal of large-scale structure surveys is to test the consistency of General Relativity at cosmological scales. In the $Lambda$CDM model of cosmology, the relations between the fields describing the geometry and the content of our Univ erse are uniquely determined. In particular, the two gravitational potentials -- that describe the spatial and temporal fluctuations in the geometry -- are equal. Whereas large classes of dark energy models preserve this equality, theories of modified gravity generally create a difference between the potentials, known as anisotropic stress. Even though measuring this anisotropic stress is one of the key goals of large-scale structure surveys, there are currently no methods able to measure it directly. Current methods all rely on measurements of galaxy peculiar velocities (through redshift-space distortions), from which the time component of the metric is inferred, assuming that dark matter follows geodesics. If this is not the case, all the proposed tests fail to measure the anisotropic stress. In this letter, we propose a novel test which directly measures anisotropic stress, without relying on any assumption about the unknown dark matter. Our method uses relativistic effects in the galaxy number counts to provide a direct measurement of the time component of the metric. By comparing this with lensing observations our test provides a direct measurement of the anisotropic stress.

The effective anisotropic stress or gravitational slip $eta=-Phi/Psi$ is a key variable in the characterisation of the physical origin of the dark energy, as it allows to test for a non-minimal coupling of the dark sector to gravity in the Jordan fra me. It is however important to use a fully model-independent approach when measuring $eta$ to avoid introducing a theoretical bias into the results. In this paper we forecast the precision with which future large surveys can determine $eta$ in a way that only relies on directly observable quantities. In particular, we do not assume anything concerning the initial spectrum of perturbations, nor on its evolution outside the observed redshift range, nor on the galaxy bias. We first leave $eta$ free to vary in space and time and then we model it as suggested in Horndeski models of dark energy. Among our results, we find that a future large scale lensing and clustering survey can constrain $eta$ to within 10% if $k$-independent, and to within 60% or better at $k=0.1 h/$Mpc if it is restricted to follow the Horndeski model.
Neutral hydrogen (HI) intensity mapping is a promising technique to probe the large-scale structure of the Universe, improving our understanding on the late-time accelerated expansion. In this work, we first scrutinize how an alternative cosmology, i nteracting Dark Energy, can affect the 21-cm angular power spectrum relative to the concordance $Lambda$CDM model. We re-derive the 21-cm brightness temperature fluctuation in the context of such interaction and uncover an extra new contribution. Then we estimate the noise level of three upcoming HI intensity mapping surveys, BINGO, SKA1-MID Band$,$1 and Band$,$2, respectively, and employ a Fisher matrix approach to forecast their constraints on the interacting Dark Energy model. We find that while $textit{Planck},$ 2018 maintains its dominion over early-Universe parameter constraints, BINGO and SKA1-MID Band$,$2 put complementary bounding to the latest CMB measurements on dark energy equation of state $w$, the interacting strength $lambda_i$ and the reduced Hubble constant $h$, and SKA1-MID Band$,$1 even outperforms $textit{Planck},$ 2018 in these late-Universe parameter constraints. The expected minimum uncertainties are given by SKA1-MID Band$,$1+$textit{Planck},$: $sim 0.35%$ on $w$, $sim 0.27%$ on $h$, $sim 0.61%$ on HI bias $b_{rm HI}$, and an absolute uncertainty of about $3times10^{-4}$ ($7times10^{-4}$) on $lambda_{1}$ ($lambda_{2}$). Moreover, we quantify the effect of increasing redshift bins and inclusion of redshift-space distortions in updating the constraints. Our results indicate a bright prospect for HI intensity mapping surveys in constraining interacting Dark Energy, whether on their own or further by a joint analysis with other measurements.
Positivity bounds - constraints on any low-energy effective field theory imposed by the fundamental axioms of unitarity, causality and locality in the UV - have recently been used to constrain scalar-tensor theories of dark energy. However, the coupl ing to matter fields has so far played a limited role. We show that demanding positivity when including interactions with standard matter fields leads to further constraints on the dark energy parameter space. We demonstrate how implementing these bounds as theoretical priors affects cosmological parameter constraints and explicitly illustrate the impact on a specific Effective Field Theory for dark energy. We also show in this model that the existence of a standard UV completion requires that gravitational waves must travel superluminally on cosmological backgrounds.
Using the Reduced Relativistic Gas (RRG) model, we analytically determine the matter power spectrum for Warm Dark Matter (WDM) on small scales, $k>1 htext{/Mpc}$. The RRG is a simplified model for the ideal relativistic gas, but very accurate in the cosmological context. In another work, we have shown that, for typical allowed masses for dark matter particles, $m>5 text{keV}$, the higher order multipoles, $ell>2$, in the Einstein-Boltzmann system of equations are negligible on scales $k<10 htext{/Mpc}$. Hence, we can follow the perturbations of WDM using the ideal fluid framework, with equation of state and sound speed of perturbations given by the RRG model. We derive a Meszaros like equation for WDM and solve it analytically in radiation, matter and dark energy dominated eras. Joining these solutions, we get an expression that determines the value of WDM perturbations as a function of redshift and wavenumber. Then we construct the matter power spectrum and transfer function of WDM on small scales and compare it to some results coming from Lyman-$alpha$ forest observations. Besides being a clear and pedagogical analytical development to understand the evolution of WDM perturbations, our power spectrum results are consistent with the observations considered and the other determinations of the degree of warmness of dark matter particles.
