Cosmological observations are beginning to reach a level of precision that allow us to test some of the most fundamental assumptions in our working model of the Universe. One such an assumption is that gravity is governed by the General Theory of Relativity. In this review we discuss how one might go about extending General Relativity and how such extensions can be described in a unified way on large scales. This allows us to describe the impact of modified gravity on the growth and morphology of the large scale structure of the Universe. On smaller scales we explore the physics of gravitational screening and how it might manifest itself in galaxies, clusters and, more generally, in the cosmic web. We then analyze the current constraints from large scale structure and conclude by discussing the future prospects of the field in light of the plethora of surveys currently being planned.

  1. Fragility of stealth solutions in mimetic gravity

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Stealth solutions in mimetic gravity decouple from background dynamics on the lambda=0 branch but impose an infinite hierarchy of constraints on perturbations, rendering the screening limit non-uniform and pathological.

  2. Tests of general relativity at the fourth post-Newtonian order with GW230627 and GW250114

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Bayesian analysis of GW230627 and GW250114 finds no deviation from GR at 4PN and 4.5PN orders, setting the first empirical baseline with 90% intervals of order O(1)-O(10).

  3. A Master Equation for Screening in Luminal Horndeski Gravity

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A master screening equation is derived for luminal Horndeski gravity that recovers Vainshtein and Chameleon mechanisms and introduces Phaedrus screening with screening radius scaling linearly with source mass.

  4. How deep can a cosmic void be? Voids-informed theoretical bounds in Galileon gravity

    astro-ph.CO 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Galileon models must obey a void-depth limit tied to expansion history to avoid force breakdowns, excluding ~60% of a linear parameterization's space by z less than or equal to 10.

  5. Diagnostic Consistency Tests of the Concordance Cosmology

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A framework combining derivatives of angular diameter distance with line-of-sight expansion rate enables model-independent tests of FLRW consistency and yields a nonparametric estimator for the cosmic density field in...

  6. Synergy between the gravitational potential decay rate and other structure growth probes in testing gravity

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 conditional novelty 5.0

    Combining gravitational-potential decay-rate (DR) data with Σ8 and fσ8 growth measurements tightens modified-gravity parameter constraints by ~1.5–2×, with all results consistent with general relativity.

  7. A note on methods for computing the critical curve of Kerr-like black holes

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Bardeen's definition of black hole critical curves deviates from de Vries and Grenzebach definitions in homogeneous plasma by contracting with increasing density, contrary to prior expectations.

  8. Low-redshift constraints on structure growth from CMB lensing tomography

    astro-ph.CO 2025-10 conditional novelty 5.0

    Low-redshift galaxy clustering and CMB lensing tomography with hybrid effective field theory gives S8=0.79±0.06, consistent with Planck, while data alone prefer Ωm=0.245±0.024.

  9. Tests of General Relativity with GW230529: a neutron star merging with a lower mass-gap compact object

    gr-qc 2024-06 conditional novelty 5.0

    Parameterized inspiral tests on GW230529 find consistency with GR, with |δφ̂_{-2}| ≲ 8×10^{-5} and ℓ_GB ≲ 0.51 M_⊙ in ESGB theories.

  10. Tests of General Relativity with Binary Black Holes from the second LIGO-Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog

    gr-qc 2020-10 accept novelty 5.0

    No evidence for deviations from general relativity is found in LIGO-Virgo binary black hole events, with improved constraints on waveform parameters, graviton mass, and ringdown properties.

  11. Galaxy formation in modified gravity -- II. galaxy halo connection and assembly bias

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Simulations in f(R) gravity show that environment density in the HOD model reduces assembly bias effects to 2-3% at z≲0.5 in both ΛCDM and modified gravity.

  12. Synergy between the gravitational potential decay rate and other structure growth probes in testing gravity

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Tomographic DR data added to Σ8 + fσ8 tightens phenomenological MG parameters (μ0, Σ0, η0) and EFT α coefficients by factors of 1.5–2.

  13. EFT of Dark Energy with Cosmic Chronometers: Reconstructing Background EFT Functions

    astro-ph.CO 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Reconstruction of EFT background functions from cosmic chronometer Hubble data allows model-independent tests of dark energy evolution in scalar-tensor theories.
