abstract

We present evidence for a suppressed growth rate of large-scale structure during the dark-energy dominated era. Modeling the growth rate of perturbations with the ``growth index'' $\gamma$, we find that current cosmological data strongly prefer a higher growth index than the value $\gamma=0.55$ predicted by general relativity in a flat $\Lambda$CDM cosmology. Both the cosmic microwave background data from Planck and the large-scale structure data from weak lensing, galaxy clustering, and cosmic velocities separately favor growth suppression. When combined, they yield $\gamma=0.633^{+0.025}_{-0.024}$, excluding $\gamma=0.55$ at a statistical significance of 3.7$\sigma$. The combination of $f\sigma_8$ and Planck measurements prefers an even higher growth index of $\gamma=0.639^{+0.024}_{-0.025}$, corresponding to a 4.2$\sigma$-tension with the concordance model. In Planck data, the suppressed growth rate offsets the preference for nonzero curvature and fits the data equally well as the latter model. A higher $\gamma$ leads to a higher matter fluctuation amplitude $S_8$ inferred from galaxy clustering and weak lensing measurements, and a lower $S_8$ from Planck data, effectively resolving the $S_8$ tension.

  1. Testing Scale-Dependent Suppression of Structure Growth in the Linear Regime

    astro-ph.CO 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A combined fit of galaxy-growth, supernova, and CMB data finds at most a weak 2.2σ hint for scale-dependent suppression of structure growth, with an inconclusive Bayes factor.

  2. Signatures of Modified Gravity on Linear Scales in a Dynamical Dark Energy Background

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Using Planck, DESI, supernovae, and redshift-space distortions, the authors infer that modified gravity, if present, must act only below ~30 Mpc and cannot modify the large scales previously considered.

  3. Little ado about everything II: an `emergent' dark energy from structure formation to rule cosmic tensions

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    An ensemble-averaged stochastic cosmology with a 'little ado' noise term produces an emergent dark energy that fits late-time data and claims to relieve the H0 and f sigma8 tensions.

  4. The DESI DR1/DR2 evidence for dynamical dark energy is biased by low-redshift supernovae

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The DESI dynamical dark energy preference drops below 2 sigma after correcting a 0.043 mag intercept discrepancy in the low-redshift supernovae of DESY5.

  5. Reconstructing the shape of the non-linear matter power spectrum using CMB lensing and cosmic shear

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A joint ACT DR6 + DES Y3 analysis reconstructs the non-linear matter power spectrum in five k-bins and finds marginal, roughly 2 sigma evidence for scale-dependent suppression that baryonic feedback or ultralight axio...

  6. The Hubble tension: A decade review

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    Pure early or late fixes to the Hubble tension are tightly constrained; remaining options are combined early-late interacting dark energy or new physics at the local-to-homogeneous transition.
