Generalized symmetrons are models that have qualitatively similar features to the archetypal symmetron, but have barely been studied. In this article, we investigate for what parameter values the fifth forces induced by disformally coupling generalized symmetrons can provide an explanation for the difference between baryonic and lens masses of galaxies. While it is known that the standard symmetron struggles with providing an alternative source for the lensing otherwise attributed to particle dark matter, we show that some generalized symmetron models are more suitable for complying with existing constraints on disformal couplings. This motivates future studies of these only little explored models.

  1. Fullshape power spectrum for the Symmetron modified gravity model

    astro-ph.CO 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Applying the fkPT approximation to the Symmetron model yields a full-shape power spectrum within 1% of full kernels, and an MCMC pipeline recovers ΛCDM parameters from EZMocks.
