Measurements of the linear growth factor $D$ at different redshifts $z$ are key to distinguish among cosmological models. One can estimate the derivative $dD(z)/d\ln(1+z)$ from redshift space measurements of the 3D anisotropic galaxy…

The bulk motion of galaxies induced by the growth of cosmic structure offers a rare opportunity to test the validity of general relativity across cosmological scales. However, modified gravity can be degenerate in its effect with the…
