We find possible cosmological models of the Polynomial Affine Gravity described by connections that are either compatible or not with a metric. When possible, we compare them with those of General Relativity. We show that the set of…

We consider the cosmologies that arise in a subclass of f(R) gravity with f(R)=R+\mu ^{2n+2}/(-R)^{n} and -1<n<0 in the metric (as opposed to the Palatini) variational approach to deriving the gravitational field equations. The calculations…

We discuss some aspects of cosmology in metric-affine theories of gravity where metric and affine connection are independent variables. Such constructions, apart from the usual energy-momentum tensor, have an additional source, that of…

We investigate the evolution of linear perturbations in the Symmetric Teleparallel Gravity, namely $f(Q)$ gravity, for which we design the $f(Q)$ function to match specific expansion histories. We consider different evolutions of the…

We consider the cosmology derived from $f(T,B)$ gravity where $T$ is the torsion scalar and $B=\frac{2}{e}\partial_{\mu}(e T^{\mu})$ a boundary term. In particular we discuss how it is possible to recover, under the same standard, the…
