We present constraints on Horndeski gravity from a combined analysis of cosmic shear, galaxy-galaxy lensing and galaxy clustering from $450,mathrm{deg}^2$ of the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS) and the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey. The Horndeski class of dark energy/modified gravity models includes the majority of universally coupled extensions to $Lambda$CDM with one scalar field in addition to the metric. We study the functions of time that fully describe the evolution of linear perturbations in Horndeski gravity. Our results are compatible throughout with a $Lambda$CDM model. By imposing gravitational wave constraints, we fix the tensor speed excess to zero and consider a subset of models including e.g. quintessence and $f(R)$ theories. Assuming proportionality of the Horndeski functions $alpha_B$ and $alpha_M$ (kinetic braiding and the Planck mass run rate, respectively) to the dark energy density fraction $Omega_{mathrm{DE}}(a) = 1 - Omega_{mathrm{m}}(a)$, we find for the proportionality coefficients $hat{alpha}_B = 0.20_{-0.33}^{+0.20} ,$ and $, hat{alpha}_M = 0.25_{-0.29}^{+0.19}$. Our value of $S_8 equiv sigma_8 sqrt{Omega_{mathrm{m}}/0.3}$ is in better agreement with the $Planck$ estimate when measured in the enlarged Horndeski parameter space than in a pure $Lambda$CDM scenario. In our joint three-probe analysis we report a downward shift of the $S_8$ best fit value from the $Planck$ measurement of $Delta S_8 = 0.016_{-0.046}^{+0.048}$ in Horndeski gravity, compared to $Delta S_8 = 0.059_{-0.039}^{+0.040}$ in $Lambda$CDM. Our constraints are robust to the modelling uncertainty of the non-linear matter power spectrum in Horndeski gravity. Our likelihood code for multi-probe analysis in both $Lambda$CDM and Horndeski gravity is publicly available at http://github.com/alessiospuriomancini/KiDSHorndeski .

We use large-scale cosmological observations to place constraints on the dark-matter pressure, sound speed and viscosity, and infer a limit on the mass of warm-dark-matter particles. Measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies
constrain the equation of state and sound speed of the dark matter at last scattering at the per mille level. Since the redshifting of collisionless particles universally implies that these quantities scale like $a^{-2}$ absent shell crossing, we infer that today $w_{rm (DM)}< 10^{-10.0}$, $c_{rm s,(DM)}^2 < 10^{-10.7}$ and $c_{rm vis, (DM)}^{2} < 10^{-10.3}$ at the $99%$ confidence level. This very general bound can be translated to model-dependent constraints on dark-matter models: for warm dark matter these constraints imply $m> 70$ eV, assuming it decoupled while relativistic around the same time as the neutrinos; for a cold relic, we show that $m>100$ eV. We separately constrain the properties of the DM fluid on linear scales at late times, and find upper bounds $c_{rm s, (DM)}^2<10^{-5.9}$, $c_{rm vis, (DM)}^{2} < 10^{-5.7}$, with no detection of non-dust properties for the DM.
This is the second paper in a series where we propose a method of indirectly measuring large scale structure using information from small scale perturbations. The idea is to build a quadratic estimator from small scale modes that provides a map of st
ructure on large scales. We demonstrated in the first paper that the quadratic estimator works well on a dark-matter-only N-body simulation at a snapshot of $z=0$. Here we generalize the theory to the case of a light cone halo catalog with a non-cubic region taken into consideration. We successfully apply the generalized version of the quadratic estimator to the light cone halo catalog based on an N-body simulation of volume $sim15.03,(h^{-1},rm Gpc)^3$. The most distant point in the light cone is at a redshift of $1.42$, indicating the applicability of our method to next generation of galaxy surveys.
The beyond-Horndeski gravity has recently been reformulated in the dark energy paradigm - which has been dubbed, Unified Dark Energy (UDE). The evolution equations for the given UDE appear to correspond to a non-conservative dark energy scenario, in
which the total energy-momentum tensor is not conserved. We investigate both the background cosmology and, the large-scale imprint of the UDE by probing the angular power spectrum of galaxy number counts, on ultra-large scales; taking care to include the full relativistic corrections in the observed overdensity. The background evolution shows that only an effective mass smaller than the Planck mass is needed in the early universe in order for predictions in the given theory to match current observational constraints. We found that the effective mass-evolution-rate parameter, which drives the evolution of the UDE, acts to enhance the observed power spectrum and, hence, relativistic effects (on ultra-large scales) by enlarging the UDE sound horizon. Conversely, both the (beyond) Horndeski parameter and the kineticity act to diminish the observed power spectrum, by decreasing the UDE sound horizon. Our results show that, in a universe with UDE, a multi-tracer analysis will be needed to detect the relativistic effects in the large-scale structure. In the light of a multi-tracer analysis, the various relativistic effects hold the potential to distinguish different gravity models. Moreover, while the Doppler effect will remain significant at all epochs and, thus can not be ignored, the integrated Sachs-Wolfe, the time-delay and the potential (difference) effects, respectively, will only become significant at epochs near z=3 and beyond, and may be neglected at late epochs. In the same vein, the Doppler effect alone can serve as an effective cosmological probe for the large-scale structure or gravity models, in the angular power spectrum - at all z.
The discovery of the electromagnetic counterpart to GW170817 severely constrains the tensor mode propagation speed, eliminating a large model space of Horndeski theory. We use the cosmic microwave background data from Planck and the joint analysis of
the BICEP2/Keck Array and Planck, galaxy clustering data from the SDSS LRG survey, BOSS baryon acoustic oscillation data, and redshift space distortion measurements to place constraints on the remaining Horndeski parameters. We evolve the Horndeski parameters as power laws with both the amplitude and power law index free. We find a 95% CL upper bound on the present-day coefficient of the Hubble friction term in the cosmological propagation of gravitational waves is 2.38, whereas General Relativity gives 2 at all times. While an enhanced friction suppresses the amplitude of the reionization bump of the primordial B-mode power spectrum at $ell < 10$, our result limits the suppression to be less than 0.8%. This constraint is primarily due to the scalar integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect in temperature fluctuations at low multipoles.
We compare analytical computations with numerical simulations for dark-matter clustering, in general relativity and in the normal branch of DGP gravity (nDGP). Our analytical frameword is the Effective Field Theory of Large-Scale Structure (EFTofLSS)
, which we use to compute the one-loop dark-matter power spectrum, including the resummation of infrared bulk displacement effects. We compare this to a set of 20 COLA simulations at redshifts $z = 0$, $z=0.5$, and $z =1$, and fit the free parameter of the EFTofLSS, called the speed of sound, in both $Lambda$CDM and nDGP at each redshift. At one-loop at $z = 0$, the reach of the EFTofLSS is $k_{rm reach}approx 0.14 , h { rm Mpc^{-1}}$ for both $Lambda$CDM and nDGP. Along the way, we compare two different infrared resummation schemes and two different treatments of the time dependence of the perturbative expansion, concluding that they agree to approximately $1%$ over the scales of interest. Finally, we use the ratio of the COLA power spectra to make a precision measurement of the difference between the speeds of sound in $Lambda$CDM and nDGP, and verify that this is proportional to the modification of the linear coupling constant of the Poisson equation.
