Inhomogeneous Hubble diagram from vector K-mouflage

Abstract

In this Letter we construct the Hubble diagram for a Universe where dark matter is universally charged under a dark non-linear electromagnetic force which features a screening mechanism of the K-mouflage type for repulsive forces. By resorting to the Newtonian approximation, we explicitly show that the cosmological evolution generates an inhomogeneous Hubble diagram that corresponds to a curvature dominated expansion at short distances and converges to the cosmological one of Λ\LambdaCDM. We discuss the potential impact of this inhomogeneous profile on the Hubble tension. For completeness, we explicitly show how the Newtonian approximation can be derived from an inhomogeneous relativistic Lema\^itre model.
