The growth index $\gamma$ is a powerful trigger for detecting deviations from $\Lambda$CDM. However, its value is often determined by considering an asymptotic constant value that works for all redshift, or else following a chosen…

We propose a parametrization for the growth index of the linear matter perturbations, $\gamma(z)=\gamma_0+\frac{z}{1+z}\gamma_1$. The growth factor of the perturbations parameterized as $\Omega_m^{\gamma}$ is analyzed for both the $w$CDM…

Perturbative quantities, such as the growth rate ($f$) and index ($\gamma$), are powerful tools to distinguish different dark energy models or modified gravity theories even if they produce the same cosmic expansion history. In this work,…
