A recent analysis of the Supernova Ia data claims a 'marginal' ($\sim3\sigma$) evidence for a cosmic acceleration. This result has been complemented with a non-accelerating $R_{h}=ct$ cosmology, which was presented as a valid alternative to…
Any theory invoked to explain cosmic acceleration predicts consistency relations between the expansion history, structure growth, and all related observables. Currently there exist high-quality measurements of the expansion history from…

We present constraints on the cosmic growth history with recent cosmological data, allowing for deviations from Lambda CDM as might arise if cosmic acceleration is due to modifications to GR or inhomogeneous dark energy. We combine measures…
The accelerating expansion of the universe is the most surprising cosmological discovery in many decades, implying that the universe is dominated by some form of "dark energy" with exotic physical properties, or that Einstein's theory of…
Inferring high-fidelity constraints on the spatial curvature parameter, $\Omega_{\rm K}$, under as few assumptions as possible, is of fundamental importance in cosmology. We propose a method to non-parametrically infer $\Omega_{\rm K}$ from…
