  • Astrophysical Tests of Modified Gravity

    Astrophysical Tests of Modified Gravity

    University of Cambridge Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics Astrophysical Tests of Modified Gravity Jeremy Aaron Sakstein This thesis is submitted to the University of Cambridge for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Downing College Cambridge, United Kingdom March 2014 Ph.D. Dissertation, March 2014 Jeremy Aaron Sakstein Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics & Downing College University of Cambridge, United Kingdom This thesis is dedicated to my mother, Laura Sakstein, who unequivocally supported and aided me throughout my entire academic career, which ultimately led to the completion of this thesis. Abstract Einstein’s theory of general relativity has been the accepted theory of gravity for nearly a century but how well have we really tested it? The laws of gravity have been probed in our solar system to extremely high precision using several different tests and general relativity has passed each one with flying colours. Despite this, there are still some mysteries it cannot account for, one of which being the recently discovered acceleration of the universe and this has prompted a theoretical study of modified theories of gravity that can self-accelerate on large scales. Indeed, the next decade will be an exciting era where several satellites will probe the structure of gravity on cosmological scales and put these theoretical predictions to the test. Despite this, one must still worry about the behaviour of gravity on smaller scales and the vast majority of these theories are rendered cosmologically uninteresting when confronted with solar system tests of gravity. This has motivated the study of theories that differ from general relativity on large scales but include screening mechanisms which act to hide any modifications in our own solar system.
