We present a new test of gravitational physics by comparing the growth rate of cosmic structure measured around voids with that measured around galaxies in the same large-scale structure dataset, the low-redshift 6-degree Field Galaxy Survey. By fitting a self-consistent Redshift Space Distortion model to the 2D galaxy-galaxy and void-galaxy correlation functions, we recover growth rate values f\sigma_8 = 0.42 \pm 0.06 and 0.39 \pm 0.11, respectively. The environmental-dependence of cosmological statistics can potentially discriminate between modified-gravity scenarios which modulate the growth rate as a function of scale or environment and test the underlying assumptions of homogeneity and isotropy.

  1. Cosmic voids evolution in modified gravity via hydrodynamics

    astro-ph.CO 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0

    Voids in luminal Galileon gravity are always unscreened, and a reality requirement on the fifth force rules out ~82% of the favored parameter space, yielding a redshift-dependent minimum void depth.

  2. Observational constraints on 3-forms dark energy

    astro-ph.CO 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0

    Fitting a Gaussian-potential 3-form dark-energy model to Planck, DESI, Pantheon+, Cepheid and DES data shifts H0 up by only ~0.4 km/s/Mpc and yields a weak statistical preference over ΛCDM.

  3. Cosmological tensions in Proca-Nuevo theory

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0

    Fitting a one-parameter vector-tensor dark energy model to CMB, BAO, and supernova data reduces the Hubble tension to about 1.5–2σ, but the preference over ΛCDM is weak and disappears once full perturbations are included.

  4. Impact of inhomogeneous curvature on growth rate measurements from magnitude fluctuations

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Full-GR simulations find that inhomogeneous curvature produces only sub-dominant systematic offsets in growth-rate measurements from magnitude fluctuations at z ≲ 0.2 relative to current statistical errors.
