ΛCDM Tensions: Localising Missing Physics through Consistency Checks
arxiv(2024)
摘要
ΛCDM tensions are by definition model dependent; one sees anomalies
through the prism of ΛCDM. Thus, progress towards tension resolution
necessitates checking the consistency of the ΛCDM model to localise
missing physics either in redshift or scale. Since the Universe is dynamical
and redshift is a proxy for time, it is imperative to first perform consistency
checks involving redshift, then consistency checks involving scale, as the next
steps to settle the “systematics versus new physics" debate and foster
informed model building. We present a review of the hierarchy of assumptions
underlying the ΛCDM cosmological model and comment on whether relaxing
them can address the tensions. We focus on the lowest lying fruit of
identifying missing physics through the identification of redshift dependent
ΛCDM model fitting parameters. We highlight recent progress made on
S_8:= σ_8 √(Ω_ m/0.3) tension and elucidate how similar
progress can be made on H_0 tension. Our discussions indicate that H_0
tension, equivalently a redshift dependent H_0, and a redshift dependent
S_8 imply a problem with background ΛCDM cosmology.
