Abstract

Considering the dark energy/gravity landscape if next generation surveys of galaxies, cosmic microwave background radiation, and gravitational waves do not find clear modifications of gravity such as running Planck mass or gravitational slip, we develop No Run Gravity as a counterexample to the conclusion that this would imply general relativity with an expansion history described by an equation of state w(z). No Run Gravity is a cubic Horndeski theory with a constant Planck mass, no gravitational slip, and no modification of gravitational waves, but a rich phenomenology beyond w(z). We calculate the evolution of gravitational strength, sound speed, and cosmic growth within the theory and project sensitivities for upcoming DESI redshift space distortion data.
