The distribution of galaxies provides an ideal laboratory to test for deviations from General Relativity. In particular, redshift-space distortions are commonly used to constrain modifications to the Poisson equation, which governs the…
General Relativity (GR) is consistent with a wide range of experiments/observations from millimeter scales up to galactic scales and beyond. However, there are reasons to believe that GR may need to be modified because it includes…
Bimetric gravity can reproduce the accelerated expansion of the Universe, without a cosmological constant. However, the stability of these solutions to linear perturbations has been questioned, suggesting exponential growth of structure in…
Weak galaxy lensing surveys have consistently reported a lower amplitude for the matter fluctuation spectrum, as measured by the $S_8$ parameter, than expected in the $\Lambda{\rm CDM}$ cosmology favoured by $Planck$. However, the expansion…
We consider the growth of cosmological perturbations in modified gravity models where a scalar field mediates a non-universal Yukawa force between different matter species. The growth of the density contrast is altered for scales below the…
A class of well-behaved modified gravity models with long enough matter domination epoch and a late-time accelerated expansion is confronted with SNIa, CMB, SDSS, BAO and H(z) galaxy ages data, as well as current measurements of the linear…
We consider gravity mediated by non-metricity, with vanishing curvature and torsion. The gravitational action, including an arbitrary function of the non-metric scalar, is investigated in view of characterizing the dark energy effects. In…
In this paper, we investigate the existence of bulk viscous FLRW cosmological models in a recently proposed extended symmetric teleparallel gravity or $f\left( Q,T\right) $ gravity in which $Q$ is the non-metricity and $T$ is the trace of…
Constraints on the linear growth rate, $f\sigma_8$, using small scale redshift space distortion measurements have a significant statistical advantage over those made on large scales. However, these measurements need to carefully disentangle…
Two accelerating cosmological models are presented in symmetric teleparallel $f(Q)$ gravity, $Q$ be the non-metricity. The models are constructed based on the assumptions of two different functional forms of $f(Q)$ and a dynamically…
Recently the teleparallel Lagrangian density described by the torsion scalar T has been extended to a function of T. The $f(T)$ modified teleparallel gravity has been proposed as the natural gravitational alternative for dark energy to…
The study of cosmological perturbation theory in $f(T)$ gravity is a topic of great interest in teleparallel gravity since this is one of the simplest generalizations of the theory that modifies the teleparallel equivalent of general…
We proposed five $f(Q,T)$ models, which are an extension of symmetric teleparallel gravity, where $Q$ is the non-metricity and $T$ is the trace of the stress-energy tensor. By taking specific values of their parameters, these models have a…
We investigate the prospects for constraining alternative theories of gravity with a typical near-term low-budget 21 cm intensity mapping experiment. We derive the 21 cm brightness temperature perturbation consistently in linear theory…
We study the metric perturbations in the context of restricted $f(R)$ gravity, in which a parameter for deviation from the full diffeomorphisms of space-time is introduced. We demonstrate that one can choose the parameter to remove the…
