The $S_8$ tension between low-redshift galaxy surveys and the primary CMB signals a possible breakdown of the $\Lambda$CDM model. Recently differing results have been obtained using low-redshift galaxy surveys and the higher redshifts probed by CMB lensing, motivating a possible time-dependent modification to the growth of structure. We investigate a simple phenomenological model in which the growth of structure deviates from the $\Lambda$CDM prediction at late times, in particular as a simple function of the dark energy density. Fitting to galaxy lensing, CMB lensing, BAO, and Supernovae datasets, we find significant evidence - 2.5 - 3$\sigma$, depending on analysis choices - for a non-zero value of the parameter quantifying a deviation from $\Lambda$CDM. The preferred model, which has a slower growth of structure below $z\sim 1$, improves the joint fit to the data over $\Lambda$CDM. While the overall fit is improved, there is weak evidence for galaxy and CMB lensing favoring different changes in the growth of structure.

  1. KiDS-Legacy: The consistency test of the large-scale structure with Bernardeau-Nishimichi-Taruya transform

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    BNT k-cuts on KiDS-Legacy give S8=0.798±0.045 (theory covariance) with no nonlinear bias, while observed-data covariance produces a mild low-k preference for lower S8.

  2. Dark Matter with a Drag at Low Redshift

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    iDCDM adds two parameters to LambdaCDM so that dark matter decay produces late-time interacting radiation, yielding a distinctive low-redshift suppression of structure growth while leaving BBN and primary CMB unchanged.

  3. Modeling nonlinear scales for dynamical dark energy cosmologies with COLA

    astro-ph.CO 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    COLA-based hybrid emulator reproduces nonlinear power spectrum boosts in w0wa models to <2% error vs EuclidEmulator2 and produces <0.3σ shifts in LSST-like cosmic shear parameter constraints.

  4. The sound of dynamical dark energy and modified gravity

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Using CMB, SN, BAO and shear data, the work shows dynamical dark energy in MG models correlates with deviations from GR below z=2 at >95% CL, a link that holds for varying sound speed but vanishes for a cosmological constant.
