In this talkโฆ
What properties can we actually observe without having assumed a model first? Only ๐ป(๐ง) not ๐ค Only potentials ฮฆ, ฮจ, not e.g. DM growth rate
Can we measure properties of DE in a model-independent way? Not all, but can form null tests from data which can eliminate
model classes
Fundamental reason: dark degeneracy between dark matter and dark energy All cosmological probes are only sensitive to geodesics

In principle no way of measuring split between DE and DM
Only choice of parameterisation breaks degeneracy

So what?
Full constraints on particular models of course are perfectly fine Expensive and non-generic: how to anoint the particular
model? Initial conditions?
In practice, we use parameterisations which represent parts of model space Are they consistent? Do they say anything about my model? Do they allow us to unambiguously see the things my
model canโt do?

The Takeaway
In principle, we can reconstruct the evolution of the metric We cannot get the split between DE and DM without assuming
some class of models
Generically, DE models predict a change in the power law for ฮจ as a function of scale Different frameworks give you different scale dependence: could
potentially eliminate scalars completely
If I told you today that the background was inconsistent with ๐ค = โ1, what have you learned? If that happens, weโll have to be more sophisticated about
interpreting the data
