The growth factor parametrization versus numerical solutions in flat and non-flat dark energy models

preprint2020arXivOpen access

Abstract

In the present investigation we use observational data of fσ8 f σ_ {8} to determine observational constraints in the plane (Ωm0,σ8)(Ω_{m0},σ_{8}) using two different methods: the growth factor parametrization and the numerical solutions method for density contrast, δmδ_{m}. We verified the correspondence between both methods for three models of accelerated expansion: the ΛCDMΛCDM model, the w0waCDM w_{0}w_{a} CDM model and the running cosmological constant RCCRCC model. In all case we consider also curvature as free parameter. The study of this correspondence is important because the growth factor parametrization method is frequently used to discriminate between competitive models. Our results we allow us to determine that there is a good correspondence between the observational constrains using both methods. We also test the power of the fσ8 fσ_ {8} data to constraints the curvature parameter within the ΛCDM ΛCDM model. For this we use a non-parametric reconstruction using Gaussian processes. Our results show that the fσ8 fσ_ {8} data with the current precision level does not allow to distinguish between a flat and non-flat universe.
