  3. THE MATTER/ENERGY CONTENT OF THE UNIVERSE ? ?

  4. WHERE DO WE GET THIS RESULT FROM? vacuum energy density ΩΛ geometry mass density Ωm

  5. Early astrophysical evidence of DM Zwicky 1933 Total cluster mass >> sum of masses of individual galaxies Coma cluster By using Newton/Einstein + virial theorem: GM = 3σ2R ≃100Σmgal

  6. The 1980's: X-ray emission NGC2300 group Hydra cluster GM(<r) ~ kBTXr (hydro-static eq.) gas temperature m ~ 0.25

  7. Dropping the dynamical equilibrium hypothesis. The 1990's: Gravitational lensing Weak lensing Strong lensing GM(<r) ~ αrc2 deflection angle m ~ 0.25

  18. THE MATTER/ENERGY CONTENT OF THE UNIVERSE ? ?

  19. The standard solution to DM Supersymmetry (beyond the SM) suggests a number of candidates: neutralinos, sneutrinos, gravitinos, axinos, ... but other candidates are axions, sterile neutrinos, “wimpzillas”, ... However: neither direct search (accelerators, energy recoil from nucleus hit) nor indirect search (gamma-ray, neutrino and anti-matter astronomy) has yet proved the existence of these particles.

  20. The standard solution to DE (I) Rμν - ½ gμνR = 8πG/c4 Tμν + Λ gμν/c2 The DE fluid: ρΛ = -pΛ/c2 = Λc2/8πG The vacuum energy density interpretation ρΛ → ρv pΛ → pv = -ρvc2 ρv~ 10-48GeV4

  21. Zoology of alternative gravities Einstein-Hilbert action: SEH=(16GN)-1 ∫ L (-g)1/2 d4x= (16GN)-1 ∫ (-g)1/2R d4x Can avoid DM & DE: metric theories L= f(R) where f is arbitrary (e.g. power laws, logarithms, etc.) additional fields scalar-tensor theories (introduced by Jordan 1955, Brans-Dicke 1961) TeVeS(Bekenstein 2004) STVG (Moffat 2006) (they have G and other constants varying with time) modification of the nature of the space-time geometry torsion ( not symmetric in : might be relevant for microphysics) non-symmetric metric g (e.g. Moffat: NGT nonsymmetric gravity theory1995, MSTG=metric skew tensor gravity 2005) generalized Riemann geometry (Weyl, who introduced the conformal transformations) additional symmetries Conformal gravity(Mennheim 2006) Can avoid DE only: from additional space-time dimension ofM-theory: brane cosmologies

  22. UNIFIED DARK MATTER MODELS Ltot= (-g)1/2[R + L(X,)] + Lmatter X = (-1/2)DD w=p/(2Xp'-p); p=L e.g. generalized Chaplygin gas p=- @ high density: DM @ low density: DE Effective spherical potential V(r) = (½) exp(-2) (1+l2/r2) - (½) E2 exp[-)] ds2=-exp(2)dt2+exp(2)dr2+r2d

  24. SIMULATION RESULTS X-ray surf. bright. evolution Temperature evolution 2 Mpc

  25. Conclusions By assuming GR, the astrophysical observations imply an overwhelming amount of DM + DE compared to ordinary matter. This conclusion rests on the understanding of the astrophysical sources, and the control of systematics.
