We carry out a multi-probe self-consistency test of the flat Lambda Cold Dark Matter ( Λ CDM) model with the aim of exploring potential causes of the reported tensions between high-and low-redshift cosmological observations. We divide the model into two theory regimes determined by the smooth background (geometry) and the evolution of matter density fluctuations (growth), each governed by an independent set of Λ CDM cosmological parameters. This extended model is constrained by a combination of weak gravitational lensing measurements from the Kilo-Degree Survey, galaxy clustering signatures extracted from Sloan Digital Sky Survey campaigns and the Six-Degree Field Galaxy Survey, and the angular baryon acoustic scale and the primordial scalar fluctuation power spectrum measured in Planck cosmic microwave background (CMB) data. For both the weak lensing data set individually and the combined probes, we find strong consistency between the geometry and growth parameters, as well as with the posterior of standard Λ CDM analysis. In the non-split analysis, for which one single set of parameters was used, tension in the amplitude of matter density fluctuations as measured by the parameter S 8 persists at around 3 σ , with a 1 . 5% constraint of S 8 = 0 . 776 + 0 . 016 − 0 . 008 for the combined probes. We also observe a less significant preference (at least 2 σ ) for higher values of the Hubble constant, H 0 = 70 . 5 + 0 . 7 − 1 . 5 kms − 1 Mpc − 1 , as well as for lower values of the total matter density parameter Ω m = 0 . 289 + 0 . 007 − 0 . 005 compared to the full Planck analysis. Including the subset of the CMB information in the probe combination enhances these di ff erences rather than alleviate them, which we link to the discrepancy between low and high multipoles in Planck data. Our geometry versus growth analysis does not yet yield clear signs regarding whether the origin of the discrepancies lies in Λ CDM structure growth or expansion history but holds promise as an insightful test for forthcoming, more powerful data.
