Abstract
This article investigates the signatures of various models of dark energy on weak gravitational lensing, including the complementarity of the linear and nonlinear regimes. It investigates quintessence models and their extension to scalar-tensor gravity. The various effects induced by this simplest extension of general relativity are discussed. It is shown that, given the constraints in the Solar System, models such as a quadratic nonminimal coupling do not leave any signatures that can be detected while other models, such as a runaway dilaton, which include attraction toward general relativity, can let an imprint of about 10%.Keywords
