One specific property of the LCDM model is that the way
structures are growing as a function of time is scale-independent. In
this talk, I will show how to construct a null test to probe this
property in a model-independent way. For this, I will combine different
observables, namely the quadrupole and hexadecapole of the galaxy number
counts, and the Doppler magnification dipole. This last observable is
obtained by cross-correlating galaxy number counts with the cosmic
convergence. I will show that deviations in the scale-independence of a
few percents can be detected with a survey like SKA.
