A new parametric observational study of $f(Q,B)$ gravity with modified chaplygin gas
Abstract
In this work, we explore the cosmological dynamics of a modified gravity framework based on the function , where denotes the nonmetricity scalar and is the boundary term that relates to the Ricci scalar. The matter sector is modeled using the Modified Chaplygin Gas (MCG) with the equation of state , allowing the model to interpolate between early-time matter behavior and late-time cosmic acceleration. By deriving an analytical expression for the Hubble parameter , we perform a parameter estimation using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques in conjunction with the latest cosmological observations: Hubble parameter measurements, BAO data points, DESI DR2 BAO data and the Pantheon+ Type Ia supernovae compilation. The best-fit values are obtained as , , , and . The deceleration parameter transitions at redshift , while the present-day value is . The model yields an age of the Universe Gyr and a present EoS parameter , which reflects the late-time acceleration consistent with observational bounds. These results demonstrate that the MCG scenario within gravity provides a viable and observationally consistent framework for explaining the late-time accelerated expansion of the Universe.
