Whereas many measurements in cosmology depend on the use of integrated distances or time, galaxies evolving passively on a time scale much longer than their age difference allow us to determine the expansion rate H(z) solely as a function…

The cosmic curvature ($\Omega_k$) is a fundamental parameter for cosmology. In this paper, we propose an improved model-independent method to constrain the cosmic curvature, which is geometrically related to the Hubble parameter $H(z)$ and…
