Although well motivated from theoretical arguments, the cosmological constant \emph{barrier}, i.e., the imposition that the equation-of-state parameter of dark energy ($\omega_x \equiv p_x/\rho_x$) is $\geq -1$, seems to introduce bias in…
Recent measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies by BOOMERANG and MAXIMA collaborations have tightened the observational constraints on theories of structure formation. They disagree with the predictions of…
It has been observed that the hint about dynamical dark energy in the DESI BAO observation might point to non-minimally coupled gravity. We report the first $3\sigma$ evidence for non-minimal coupling in a model-agnostic effective field…
