The cosmic expansion history tests the dynamics of the global evolution of the universe and its energy density contents, while the cosmic growth history tests the evolution of the inhomogeneous part of the energy density. Precision comparison of the two histories can distinguish the nature of the physics responsible for the accelerating cosmic expansion: an additional smooth component - dark energy - or a modification of the gravitational field equations. With the aid of a new fitting formula for linear perturbation growth accurate to 0.05-0.2%, we separate out the growth dependence on the expansion history and introduce a new growth index parameter \gamma that quantifies the gravitational modification.

  1. A cosmology-to-ringdown EFT consistency map for scalar-tensor gravity

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    An EFT consistency map transports cosmology-conditioned posteriors from scalar-tensor FLRW backgrounds to black-hole quasinormal-mode kernels, showing tensor-speed effects fall below ringdown detectability while other...

  2. Evidence for deviation in gravitational light deflection from general relativity at cosmological scales with KiDS-Legacy and CMB lensing

    astro-ph.CO 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0

    KiDS-Legacy weak lensing plus CMB data yields a 3 sigma deviation in light deflection from GR in a Lambda CDM background, with the signal driven by large-scale CMB lensing amplitudes.

  3. Alleviating the Hubble Tension Using $\Lambda$sCDM Model: A Coupled Dark Energy - Dark Matter Interaction

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    The ΛsCDM model with coupled dark sectors reduces the Hubble tension to 1.2σ via late-time expansion changes while keeping the early-universe sound horizon nearly unchanged.

  4. Joint Curvature and Growth Rate measurements with Supernova Peculiar Velocities and the CMB

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    SN peculiar velocities plus Planck CMB data give joint constraints on σ8, γ, and Ωk, with hints of positive curvature (Ωk ≈ -0.01) at 2-3σ and γ values consistent with GR.

  5. Alleviating the Hubble Tension Using $\Lambda$sCDM Model: A Coupled Dark Energy - Dark Matter Interaction

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    The ΛsCDM interacting dark sector model reduces the Hubble tension to 1.2σ via late-time energy transfer from dark matter to dark energy while leaving the sound horizon nearly unchanged.
