Backreaction: directions of progress

Abstract: Homogeneous and isotropic cosmological models with ordinary matter and gravity predict slower expansion and shorter distances than observed. It is possible that this failure is due the known breakdown of homogeneity and isotropy related to structure formation, rather than new fundamental physics. We review this backreaction conjecture, concentrating on topics on which there has been progress as well as open issues.

“…This advantage is clearly explained by Räsänen (2010Räsänen ( , 2011: in the framework of the so-called Newtonian cosmology, as opposed to GR, the backreaction effects are reduced to boundary terms vanishing in the case of the standard periodic boundary conditions. It is stressed by Räsänen (2010Räsänen ( , 2011 that Newtonian gravity does not represent the weak field limit of GR.…”

“…of density perturbations can potentially affect the background expansion of the Universe in a process called "back-reaction" (Räsänen 2011). However, since general back-reaction models preserve statistical homogeneity and isotropy, they cannot be constrained by our analysis.…”
