Growth of matter perturbations for realistic $F(R)$ models    [PDF]

Antonio Jesús López-Revelles
Two different realistic $F(R)$ modified gravity models are considered in the framework of the Friedmann-Lemetre-Robertson-Walker universe. The parameters of these two models are adjusted to reach coherence with the most recent and accurate observations of the current universe. A study of the growth of matter density perturbations is done, and several parametrizations of the growth index are developed for both models. The ansatz for the growth index given by $\gamma = \gamma_0 + \gamma_1 z/(1+z)$ seems to be the best parametrization for the two models considered. Finally, the values obtained for $\gamma_0$ and $\gamma_1$ can be used in order to characterize these two models and to differentiate them from others such as the Hu-Sawicki model.
