A comment : We should keep the constant- inthe inventory of possible solutions
to cosmic acceleration
Weyl, Cartan, and Lovelock showed different theorems that themost general curvature Einstein tensor is given by
Spacetime can have an intrinsic curvature without the need foran energy-momentum tensor justification
This is important to consider because:
1) It reopens the door to the search for perfect cancellationmechanisms for vacuum energy
2) Or also how vacuum energy gravitates?
3) Not anymore necessary to justify the value or the sign of theobserved

What kind of answers are we going to be able to provide fromthe Dark Energy equation of state approach?
The most decisive answer will be if the data can show conclusively thatDark Energy is not a cosmological constant
It will be possible from several combinations of experiments to excludesome proposed models, trackers or some SUGRA inspired models withfor w0=-0.8 and w1=0.3
A very suggestive but less decisive answer will be to show that theDark Energy parameters are those of a cosmological constant to a veryhigh level of precision (a few percent?)
In all cases, a burning question is to know if what is obtained from thedata is the equation of state of some dark energy cosmic fluid or a justa result obtained because we tried to force a dark energy model on thetop of a modified gravity model?

Probing cosmic acceleration beyond theequation of state: or also going further
using the equations of state Cosmic acceleration can be caused by:
1) An energy component in universe (e.g. dark energy, vacuum energy) 2) A modification to gravity at cosmological scales e.g. DGP, or higher-order invariants theories, or other MG models
An important step will be to distinguish between the 2 causes above: i.e. darkenergy or modified gravity
We were not interested in a particular model of modified gravity but ratherinterested in the ability to distinguish if we are in presence of one cause or theother.
The procedure will also answer the question of true or forced equation of state

Basic idea of the approach The cosmic acceleration affects cosmology in two ways:
1) It effects the expansion history of the universe 2) It effects the growth rate of large scale structure in the universe (the rate at which clusters and super
clusters of galaxies forms over the history of the universe)
The idea explored is that, for dark energy models, these two effects must be consistent one withanother because they are mathematically related by General Relativity equations
The idea has been discussed by our group and others groups as well (e.g. Lue, Scoccimarro, andStarkman,2004; Song 2005; MI, Upadhye, and Spergel 2005, Knox, Song, and Tyson, 2005) butthe challenge was to implement it using cosmological probes
We proposed a procedure to do that where the key step was to compare constraints on theexpansion and the growth using different and specific pairs of cosmological probes in order to
detect inconsistencies (MI, Upadhye, and Spergel, Phys.Rev. D74 (2006) 043513 , astro-ph/0507184)
The presence of significant inconsistencies between the expansion history and the growth ratecould be the indication of some problems with the underlying gravity theory
The proposed procedure detects such inconsistencies when they are present as we show

An example of modified gravity at cosmologicalscales: The Dvali, Gabadadze and Poratti model
(DGP model, 2000). The action for this 5-dimentional theory is given by
The idea is that our universe is a brane embedded in a 5D bulk
The first term describes the bulk while the 2 others are the usual 4D ones
The 2 different pre-factors in front of the bulk and the brane actions give rise to a characteristic lengthscale rc
At distance scales much smaller than this characteristic distance, we have the usual gravitational physics;On scales larger then rc, the full 5D physics is recovered
The result is that gravity is weakened at scales comparable to rc and the effect of the bulk causes cosmicacceleration.
Some of these models are consistent with current cosmological data and is a good example to use to testthe proposed procedure (note: we are not particularly interested in the viability of this model but only inusing it as an example to illustrate the procedure)

The consistency relation between the expansionhistory and the growth rate of large scale structure
For the standard FLRW model with k=0 and a Dark Energy component, the expansion history is expressed by the Hubble function and is given by
And the growth rate G(a=1/(1+z)) is given by integrating the ODE:
For Modified Gravity DGP models and k=0, the expansion history is given by
And the growth rate of function is given by
Equation (1) and (2) must be mathematically consistent one with another via General Relativity. Similarly, equation (3) and (4) must be consistentone with another via DGP theory
Our approach uses cosmological probes in order to detect inconsistencies between equations (1) and (2).

Dark Energy versus DGP model Hubble
diagrams and growth function
Supernova Hubble diagrams for several darkenergy and DGP models. Note that the LCDMmodel (red solid line) and the m=0.20 DGPmodel (blue dotted) have nearly identical Hubblediagrams, but different growth factors as shown inFig. 1b. The same is true of the SUGRA (greendashed) and m =0.27 DGP (black double dotted)models.
Growth factor of linear density perturbations forseveral dark energy and DGP models. Note thatthe growth factor in the m=0.27 DGP model issuppressed with respect to that in the LCDMmodel, which has the same m.

Procedure proposed to find an
inconsistency: A first basic check Assume that the true universe is described by a modified gravity model (for example, we used the DGP
model).
So in this case, the true expansion history and growth rate functions are those of a DGP model.
However, assume that the cosmological data are analyzed using dark energy models instead
Determine the effective Dark Energy model from the best fit to measurements of the expansion history
This gives a first effective Dark Energy parameter space I:
Determine the effective Dark Energy model from the best fit to measurements of the growth ratefunction
This gives a second effective Dark Energy parameter space II
Compare the two effective parameter spaces to look for inconsistencies
A significant inconsistency between the dark energy parameter spaces will be a signature of theunderlying modified gravity model

Implementing the procedure using simulatedcosmological observations form near future experiments
SN+CMB versus WL+CMB
We assume that the true cosmology is that of modified gravity DGP model and generateSupernova magnitudes, Weak Lensing convergence power spectrum, and CMB temperaturepower spectrum.
We determine the effective Dark Energy model from the best fit to the supernove data andthe CMB power spectrum (we use pairs including the CMB in order to break degeneraciesamong the model parameters). The pair [Supernova+CMB] probes the expansion history
This gives a first effective Dark Energy parameter space I: e.g.
We determine the effective Dark Energy model from the best fit to the weak lensingconvergence spectrum and the CMB power spectrum. The pair [Gravitational
Lensing+CMB] probes the growth.
This gives a second effective Dark Energy parameter space II
We compare the two effective dark energy parameter spaces to look for inconsistencieswithin the precision of the combinations of the cosmological probes used
A significant inconsistency between the dark energy parameter spaces will be a signature ofthe underlying modified gravity model

The significant difference (inconsistency) between the equations of state found using
these two combinations is a due to the DGP model and should be detectable by future
experiments.
In this simulated case, The inconsistency tells us that we are in presence of modified
gravity rather than GR+dark energy.
Results: Equations of state found using two different combinations of simulated datasets. Solid contours are for fits to the [Supernova + CMB] data combination, whiledashed contours are for fits to [Weak Lensing + CMB] data combination.(MI, Upadhye, and Spergel, Phys.Rev. D74 (2006) 043513 , astro-ph/0507184)

Distinguishing dark energy and modified gravity hasnow generated a lot of discussion and work in the field:
Also Robert Caldwell, Asantha Cooray, Alessandro Melchiorri, Mars 2007; KazuhiroYamamoto, David Parkinson, Takashi Hamana, Robert C. Nichol, Yasushi Suto, April2007; and others
Sheng Wang, Lam Hui, Morgan May, Zoltan Haiman, May 2007) where they applied thesame method we proposed but using some current data and and w instead.

Discussion, conclusion, and
future work The observed inconsistency in the figure is a consequence of our hypothesis that the true
cosmological model is a modified gravity DGP model.
Thus, the inconsistency constitute an observational detection of the assumed underlying modifiedgravity model or simply of problems with the underlying gravity theory
Note that we dont need to know the underlying model in order to detect any problems with thecurrent used theory
Finding two significantly different equations of state implies that these are not true EOSs butforced ones
Future work is needed in order to sharpen the test proposed, e.g.: To consider other dark energy models (with couplings, unusual sound speeds), To consider other modified gravity models in order to study the form of the inconsistencies To compare with inconsistencies due systematic effects in different data sets
The procedure is based on the comparison of measurements of the expansion history andmeasurements of the growth rate of large scale structure and shows that we can go beyond theequation of state analysis.
The procedure allows one to distinguish between some dark energy and modified gravity models.
Being able to distinguish between the two possibilities is and important step in the quest tounderstand cosmic acceleration
