Consistency of the growth rate in different environments with the 6dF Galaxy Survey: measurement of the void-galaxy and galaxy-galaxy correlation functions
read the original abstract
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.

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