The completed SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey:
  geometry and growth from the anisotropic void-galaxy correlation function in
  the luminous red galaxy sample
  We present an analysis of the anisotropic redshift-space void-galaxy
correlation in configuration space using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey extended
Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) Data Release 16 luminous red
galaxy (LRG) sample. This sample consists of LRGs between redshifts 0.6 and
1.0, combined with the high redshift $z>0.6$ tail of the Baryon Oscillation
Spectroscopic Survey Data Release 12 CMASS sample. We use a reconstruction
method to undo redshift-space distortion (RSD) effects from the galaxy field
before applying a watershed void-finding algorithm to remove bias from the void
selection. We then perform a joint fit to the multipole moments of the
correlation function for the growth rate $f\sigma_8$ and the geometrical
distance ratio $D_M/D_H$, finding $f\sigma_8(z_\mathrm{eff})=0.356\pm0.079$ and
$D_M/D_H(z_\mathrm{eff})=0.868\pm0.017$ at the effective redshift
$z_\mathrm{eff}=0.69$ of the sample. The posterior parameter degeneracies are
orthogonal to those from galaxy clustering analyses applied to the same data,
and the constraint achieved on $D_M/D_H$ is significantly tighter. In
combination with the consensus galaxy BAO and full-shape analyses of the same
sample, we obtain $f\sigma_8=0.447\pm0.039$, $D_M/r_d=17.48\pm0.23$ and
$D_H/r_d=20.10\pm0.34$. These values are in good agreement with the
$\Lambda$CDM model predictions and represent reductions in the uncertainties of
$13\%$, $23\%$ and $28\%$ respectively compared to the combined results from
galaxy clustering, or an overall reduction of 55\% in the allowed volume of
parameter space.
