Modified gravity At background level - degenerate with LCDM. At perturbation level - richer physics, such as scale-dependent growth Need to study the cosmological structure formation to break the degeneracy See Fabian’s talk Cross- Correlations 08/025/08 COSMO 08

Reconstructing G_eff and gamma Fiducial model 08/025/08 COSMO 08
Summary Tomographic surveys can provide powerful constraints on possible deviation from GR; Results depends on the choice of fiducial model and parameterization; Need to further study using non-parametric methods, such as principle component analysis (PCA) (in process). 08/025/08 COSMO 08
