Matter power spectrum in f(R) gravity with massive neutrinos
Abstract
The effect of massive neutrinos on matter power spectrum is discussed in the context of f(R) gravity. It is shown that the anomalous growth of density fluctuations on small scales due to the scalaron force can be compensated by free streaming of neutrinos. As a result, models which predict observable deviation of the equation-of-state parameter w from w=-1 can be reconciled with observations of matter clustering if the total neutrino mass is O(0.5 ).
