Abstract
We study the phenomenology of a class of minimally modified gravity theories called f(mathcal {H}) theories, in which the usual general relativistic Hamiltonian constraint is replaced by a free function of it. After reviewing the construction of the theory and a consistent matter coupling, we analyze the dynamics of cosmology at the levels of both background and perturbations, and present a concrete example of the theory with a 3-parameter family of the function f. Finally, we compare this example model to Planck data as well as some later-time probes, showing that such a realization of f(mathcal {H}) theories fits the data significantly better than the standard Lambda CDM model, in particular by modifying gravity at intermediate redshifts, zsimeq 743.
