The distribution of galaxies provides an ideal laboratory to test for deviations from General Relativity. In particular, redshift-space distortions are commonly used to constrain modifications to the Poisson equation, which governs the strength of dark matter clustering. Here, we show that these constraints rely on the validity of the weak equivalence principle, which has never been tested for the dark matter component. Relaxing this restrictive assumption leads to modifications in the growth of structure that are fully degenerate with modifications induced by the Poisson equation. This in turns strongly degrades the constraining power of redshift-space distortions. Such degeneracies can however be broken and tight constraints on modified gravity can be recovered by measuring gravitational redshift from the galaxy distribution, an effect that will be detectable by the coming generation of large-scale structure surveys.

  1. Nonlinear Relativistic Effects on Cosmological Redshift Drift

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 8.0 of 10

    Second-order relativistic effects on redshift drift are computed, showing distortions appear only at this order with enhanced nonlinear bispectrum contributions at low redshift and large momenta.

  2. Nonlinear Relativistic Effects on Cosmological Redshift Drift

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Second-order relativistic corrections to the redshift drift are derived; the dominant sub-Hubble term is the squared radial velocity gradient, producing a bispectrum that can exceed the squared power spectrum at low z.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    kSZ measurements constrain the gravitational acceleration between galaxy halos to follow g ∝ 1/r^{2.1±0.3}, consistent with Newtonian gravity in ΛCDM.
