We propose a new class of $f(R)$ theory where its Weyl gauge symmetry is broken in the primordial era of the universe. This symmetry forces one to adopt a new scalar field, namely a Weyl field and a gauge vector boson. Furthermore, an…

We investigate some FLRW cosmological models in the context of Metric-Affine $F(R,Q)$ gravity, as proposed in [arXiv:1205.52666]. Here, $R$ and $Q$ are the curvature and nonmetricity scalars using non-special connections, respectively. We…

In this article, we propose an anisotropic Bianchi-I type cosmological model in non-conservative Unimodular Gravity ($\mathrm{NUG}$). We show that simply using the Bianchi-I type metric does not resolve a striking characteristic of the…
The cosmological principle is a cornerstone of the standard cosmological model. However, recent observations suggest potential deviations from this assumption, hinting at a small anisotropic expansion. Such an expansion can arise from…
Gravitational instabilities in a magnetized Friedman - Robertson - Walker (FRW) Universe, in which the magnetic field was assumed to be too weak to destroy the isotropy of the model, are known and have been studied in the past. Accordingly,…
In the macroscopic gravity approach to the averaging problem in cosmology, the Einstein field equations on cosmological scales are modified by appropriate gravitational correlation terms. We study the averaging problem within the class of…
We investigate scalar-field cosmologies in the Bianchi V spacetime using a dynamical-systems framework. Motivated by representative $\alpha$-attractor potentials - the E-model and T-model - we apply averaging theorems and amplitude--phase…
Despite having the somewhat successful description of accelerated cosmology, the early evolution of the universe always challenges mankind. Our promising approach lies in a new class of symmetric teleparallel theory of gravity named $f(Q)$,…
Primordial non-Gaussianities of the scalar(tensor)-tensor-tensor type supporting a non-trivial squeezed component are known to induce anisotropies in the stochastic gravitational wave background. We derive the explicit form of such…

It is well-known that spacetime averaging is an operation that does not commute with building the Einstein tensor. In the framework of Macroscopic gravity (MG), a covariant averaging procedure, this non-commutativity gives averaged field…
