The observed accelerated expansion of the Universe may be explained by dark energy or the breakdown of general relativity (GR) on cosmological scales. When the latter case, a modified gravity scenario, is considered, it is often assumed…

The large-scale structure growth index $\gamma$ provides a consistency test of the standard cosmology and is a potential indicator of modified gravity. We investigate the constraints on $\gamma$ from next-generation spectroscopic surveys,…

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…
