We investigate the growth index parameter \gamma and the time variation of the gravitational constant G_{eff} by using the currently available growth function f(z) data at different redshifts, with and without scaling to the fiducial…

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,…

To better distinguish the nature of $H_0$ and $S_8$ tensions, it is necessary to separate the effects of expansion and the growth of structure. The growth index $\gamma$ was identified as the most important parameter that characterizes the…

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…

A probability of distinguishing between $\Lambda$CDM model and modified gravity is studied by using the future observations for the growth rate of cosmic structure (Euclid redshift survey). Adopting extended DGP model, Kinetic Gravity…

We study the linear growth of matter perturbations in the DGP model with the growth index $\gamma$ as a function of redshift. At the linear approximation: $\gamma(z)\approx\gamma_0+\gamma_0^\prime z $, we find that, for…

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…
