Some random questions
What do we know about Dark Energy?
Are the results observation dependent?
Are they parametrization (theoretical prior) dependent?
So, what next?
A bit of history
Universe is accelerating at present
Governing equations (aa

3 ρ− ka2
aa = −4πG
3 (ρ+ 3p)
Ordinary matter satisfying Strong Energy Condition (ρ+ 3p) ≥ 0cannot supply the effective “anti-gravity” required for acceleration
Who governs this expansion history ?

Modified gravity models
∗ Einstein’s theory is not directly tested in cosmological scales.∗ Modify the gravity sector rather than the matter sector.
Brans-Dicke theory: G as a VEV of a geometric field, needvastly different values for solar system and cosmic scales
f(R) gravity: R in the action replaced by f(R), [e.g. R − µR ],
no unique choice
DGP model: Extra dimensional effects at large scale, fails toproduce small scale results
No unique candidate
Dark energy parametrizations
Observationally we probe two parameters of dark energy:
Density parameter (ΩDE) (by probing ΩM)
Equation of State (EOS) parameter (wDE)
Proposal
Instead of proposing individual models, can we parametrize darkenergy and constrain models from observations by constrainingthose parameters?
Parametrization of Hubble parameter
r(x) = H2(x)H2
0= Ω0
mx3 + A0 + A1x + A2x

with x = 1 + z ; Ω0m + A0 + A1 + A2 = 1 ; ρ0
c = 3H20
ρ = ρ0c
(A0 + A1x + A2x
2)
For A0 6= 0,A1 = 0 = A2 =⇒ ΛCDM
Either A1 6= 0 or A2 6= 0 =⇒ Dynamical dark energy
Parametrization of EOS
• CPL Parametrization
Fits a wide range of scalar field dark energy models including thesupergravity-inspired SUGRA dark energy models.
w(a) = w0 + wa(1− a)
= w0 + waz
1 + z
ρDE ∝ a−3(1+w0+wa)e−3wa(1−a)
Two parameter description: w0 = EOS at present , wa = itsvariation w.r.t. scale factor (or redshift).
For w0 ≥ −1,wa > 0 : dark energy is non-phantomthroughout
Otherwise, may show phantom behavior at some point
• SS Parametrization
Useful for slow-roll ‘thawing’ class of scalar field models having acanonical kinetic energy term.Motivation : to look for a unique dark energy evolution for scalarfield models that are constrained to evolve close to Λ.
w(a) = (1 + w0)×[√1 + (Ω−1

One model parameter: w0 = EOS at present
Rest is taken care of by the general cosmological parameterΩDE = dark energy density today.
• GCG Parametrization
p = − cρα
w(a) = − AA+(1−A)a−3(1+α) ; A = c
ρ1+αGCG
Two model parameters e.g A and α, with w(0) = −AFor (1 + α) > 0, w(a) behaves like a dust in the past andevolves towards negative values and becomes w = −1 in theasymptotic future. =⇒ ‘tracker/freezer’ behavior
For (1 + α) < 0, w(a) is frozen to w = −1 in the past and itslowly evolves towards higher values and eventually behaveslike a dust in the future. =⇒ ‘thawing’ behavior
Restricted to 0 < A < 1 only since for A > 1 singularityappears at finite past =⇒ non-phantom only

Integrated Sachs-Wolfe Effect
Some CMB anisotropies may be induced by passing through a timevarying gravitational potential
linear regime: integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect

If phantom is forbidden by theoretical prior (GCG):
The parameters stay close to the values obtained in ΛCDMmodel analysis.H0 is not that degenerate with dark energy equation of statefor CMB.
If phantom is NOT forbidden by theoretical prior (CPL+SS):
Better fit to the CMB data comes with a large value of H0
⇒ agrees better with the HST data (better total χ2)But background cosmological parameter space (e.g., Ωm −H0)is dragged s.t. best-fit base model and that from Planckbecomes 2σ away.H0 becomes highly degenerate with dark energy EOS for CMBonly measurements.

Show consistency between CMB and non-CMB dataBut they have marginally worse likelihood than otherparametrizations.CMB and non-CMB observations are separately sensitive tothe two model parameters but the joint constraint is consistentwith w = −1.
If phantom is NOT forbidden by theoretical prior (CPL+SS):
CMB data: the non-phantom equation of states stays at theedge of 2σ region.Non-CMB data: non-phantom behavior favored for everyparametrization considered.

Combined CMB + non-CMB data
Mean w and error bar depends on the parametrization.
SS and GCG parametrization: the nature of dark energy isbest constrained at high redshifts
CPL parametrization: the best constraints come in theredshift range of ≈ 0.2− 0.3
Just as aside...
Similar results by Novosyadlyj et.al. (JCAP): for datasetPlanck+HST+BAO+SNLS3 ΛCDM is outside 2σ confidenceregime, for dataset WMAP-9+HST+BAO+SNLS3 ΛCDM is1σ away from best fit.
PAN-STARRS1 shows tension with ΛCDM at 2.4σ with aconstant EOS (Rest et.al., 1310.3828)
Conclusion
Constraints on w and hence the nature of dark energy that weinfer from cosmological observation depends crucially on thechoice of the underlying parametrization of the EOS.
Can the apparent tension between CMB and non-CMB databe attributed to unknown systematics?
Unlikely!
Can it be due to different analysis of HST data (Riess vsEfsthathiou)?
Maybe
Can it be due to lack of a better theory/parametrization ofthe dark energy equation of state?
Most likely yes
Can a non-parametric reconstruction of w for the totaldataset help to infer about the correct nature of dark energy(or, Λ) without any priors on the form of w?
