Probing cosmic acceleration beyond the equation of state: Distinguishing between dark energy and modified gravity models

Probing cosmic acceleration beyond the equation of state: Distinguishing between dark energy and modified gravity models

If general relativity is the correct theory of physics on large scales, then there is a differential equation that relates the Hubble expansion function, inferred from measurements of angular diameter distance and luminosity distance, to the growth rate of large scale structure. For a dark energy fluid without couplings or …
