Tests of Gravity with Galaxy Clusters

Abstract

Changes in the law of gravity have far-reaching implications for the formation and evolution of galaxy clusters, and appear as peculiar signatures in their mass-observable relations, structural properties, internal dynamics, and abundance. We review the outstanding progress made in recent years towards constraining deviations from General Relativity with galaxy clusters, and give an overview of the yet untapped information becoming accessible with forthcoming surveys that will map large portions of the sky in great detail and unprecedented depth.
