We study quasi-static perturbations in a cosmological background in the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati (DGP) braneworld model. We identify the Vainshtein radius at which the non-linear interactions of the brane bending mode become important in a cosmological background. The Vainshtein radius in the early universe is much smaller than the one in the Minkowski background, but in a self-accelerating universe it is the same as the Minkowski background. Our result shows that the perturbative approach is applicable beyond the Vainshtein radius for weak gravity by taking into account the second order effects of the brane bending mode. The linearised cosmological perturbations are shown to be smoothly matched to the solutions inside the Vainshtein radius. We emphasize the importance of imposing a regularity condition in the bulk by solving the 5D perturbations and we highlight the problem of ad hoc assumptions on the bulk gravity that lead to different conclusions.

  1. A Master Equation for Screening in Luminal Horndeski Gravity

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A master screening equation is derived for luminal Horndeski gravity that recovers Vainshtein and Chameleon mechanisms and introduces Phaedrus screening with screening radius scaling linearly with source mass.

  2. Studying spherical collapse and its implications in the Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity theory

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    In EiBI gravity, spherical collapse yields lower linear thresholds, higher turnaround and virial overdensities, and modestly smaller turnaround radii than in ΛCDM, with effects increasing with the coupling κ̂_BI.

  3. Studying spherical collapse and its implications in the Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity theory

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    In EiBI gravity, spherical collapse needs regularized density profiles to handle singular gradient terms, yielding a lower linear collapse threshold, higher turnaround and virial overdensities, and slightly smaller tu...
