Abstract

We propose an analytic procedure that allows to determine quantitatively the deviation in the behavior of cosmological perturbations between a given f(R) modified gravity model and a ΛCDM reference model. Our method allows to study structure formation in these models from the largest scales, of the order of the Hubble horizon, down to scales deeply inside the Hubble radius, without employing the so-called “quasi-static” approximation. Although we restrict our analysis here to linear perturbations, our technique is completely general and can be extended to any perturbative order.
