In this work, we investigate the MOdified Gravity (MOG) theory for dynamics of the universe and compare the results with the $\Lambda$CDM cosmology. We study the background cosmological properties of the MOG model and structure formation at…

We propose a new model of cosmology based on an anisotropic background and a specific $f(R)$ theory of gravity. It is shown that field equations of $f(R)$ gravity in a Bianchi type I background give rise to a modified Friedmann equation.…

We propose a novel model in the framework of $f(Q)$ gravity, which is a gravitational modification class arising from the incorporation of non-metricity. The model has General Relativity as a particular limit, it has the same number of free…

Recent cosmological observations indicate a $5\sigma$ discrepancy between the values of the Hubble constant $H_0$ derived from late and early universe probes. A further possible tension at the $\sim 3\sigma$ level arises from different…

Cosmological data from the cosmic microwave background (CMB), baryon acoustic oscillations, and Type Ia supernovae suggest that the component driving the accelerated expansion of the Universe may be dynamical at the $\sim 2.5$-$3\sigma$ CL.…

Planck-2015 data seem to favour a large value of the lensing amplitude parameter, $A_{\rm L}=1.22\pm0.10$, in CMB spectra. This result is in $2\sigma$ tension with the lensing reconstruction result, $A_{\rm L}^{\phi\phi}=0.95\pm0.04$. In…
