We point out that the physics at the extreme IR---cosmology---might provide tests of the physics of the extreme UV---the Weak Gravity Conjecture. The current discrepancies in the determination of $H_0$ may hint at a modification of…
In present paper, we search the existence of dark energy scalar field models within in $f(R, T)$ gravity theory established by Harko et al. (Phys. Rev. D 84, 024020, 2011) in a flat FRW universe. The correspondence between scalar field…
