Abstract
We systematically assess several limiting cases of modified gravity, where particular theoretical or observational conditions hold. This framework includes the well known scalar-tensor gravity and No Slip Gravity and No Run Gravity, and we extend it to three new limits: only Run, Only Light, and Only Growth Gravities. These limits give simplifications that allow deeper understanding of modified gravity, including demonstration that gravitational effects on light and matter can have opposite signs in their deviation from general relativity. We also show observational predictions for the different cosmic structure growth rates fσ8 and the ratio of gravitational wave standard siren luminosity to photon standard candle luminosity distance relations, defining a new statistic DG that emphasizes their complementarity and ability to distinguish models.
