Large-scale galaxy correlations as a test for dark energy
We have shown earlier that, contrary to popular belief, Einstein--de Sitter (E--deS) models can still fit the {\sl WMAP} data on the cosmic microwave background provided one adopts a low Hubble constant and relaxes the usual assumption that the primordial density perturbation is scale-free.

| description | We have shown earlier that, contrary to popular belief, Einstein--de Sitter (E--deS) models can still fit the {\sl WMAP} data on the cosmic microwave background provided one adopts a low Hubble constant and relaxes the usual assumption that the primordial density perturbation is scale-free. The recent {\sl SDSS} measurement of the large-scale correlation function of luminous red galaxies at $z \sim 0.35$ has however provided a new constraint by detecting a `baryon acoustic peak'. Our best-fit E--deS models do possess a baryonic feature at a similar physical scale as the best-fit $\Lambda$CDM concordance model, but do not fit the new observations as well as the latter. In particular the shape of the correlation function in the range $\sim 10-100 h^{-1}$ Mpc cannot be reproduced properly without violating the CMB angular power spectrum in the multipole range $l \sim 100-1000$. Thus, the combination of the CMB fluctuations and the shape of the correlation function up to $\sim 100 h^{-1}$Mpc, if confirmed, does seem to require dark energy for a homogeneous cosmological model based on (adiabatic) inflationary perturbations. |
