Consistency of Cubic Galileon Cosmology: Model-Independent Bounds from Background Expansion and Perturbative Analyses

Blog Article

We revisit the cosmological Astragalus Root dynamics of the cubic Galileon model in light of the recently proposed model-independent analyses of the Pantheon supernova data.At the background level, it is shown to be compatible with data and preferred over standard quintessence models.Furthermore, the model is shown to be consistent with the trans-Planckian censorship conjecture (as well as other Swampland conjectures).

It is shown that for the given parametrization, the model fails to satisfy the bounds on the reconstructed growth index derived from the Pantheon data Sand Filter set at the level of linear perturbations.
