Title: ”Testing gravity with large scale structure”

Abstract: Upcoming cosmological surveys, including DESI, Euclid, Rubin LSST and Roman and Simons Observatory and CMB-S4 will provide a wealth of information about the large-scale structure of the universe. We discuss ways in which galaxy and galaxy cluster data can be used to test theories of gravity, and how a combination of analytical techniques, N-body simulations and novel statistics, can be used to efficiently predict and spotlight the cosmological signatures of gravity theories beyond GR.
