Cosmological Dynamics on a Novel $f(Q)$ Gravity Model with Recent DESI DR2 Observation
Abstract
In this article, we investigate the cosmological viability of a modified symmetric teleparallel gravity model within the framework. We derive observational constraints on the model parameters by performing a Markov Chain Monte Carlo analysis using a combined dataset consisting of cosmic chronometers, PantheonPlus SH0ES, and DESI BAO DR2. Our analysis yields the best-fit values for the model parameters and , along with the cosmological parameters at present: , , and , at 68\% CL. Furthermore, we examine the physical behavior of the model, focusing on the effective equation of state and deceleration parameter. Our findings indicate that the model experiences a transition from the early deceleration phase to the late-time cosmic acceleration, and the transition occurs at a redshift . We also analyse the diagnostic, which reflects a positive slope, supporting the behavior of the equation of state parameter in the quintessence region.
