In this work, we present a method for numerically solving the Friedmann equations of modified $f(\mathcal{G})$ gravity in the presence of pressureless matter. This method enables us to predict the redshift behaviour of the Hubble expansion…
Most of the information on our cosmos stems from either late-time observations or the imprint of early-time inhomogeneities on the cosmic microwave background. We explore to what extent early modifications of gravity, which become…
Quantum treatment of physical reference frame leads to the Ricci flow of quantum spacetime, which is a quite rigid framework to quantum and renormalization effect of gravity. The theory has a low characteristic energy scale described by a…
This thesis investigates late-time cosmic acceleration using modified gravity theories with a focus on $f(Q)$ gravity, as an alternative to the $\Lambda$CDM model. The standard cosmological model attributes the acceleration to a…
In this letter we investigate some consequences of considering our 4D observable universe as locally and isometrically embeded into a 5D spacetime, where gravity is described by a Brans-Dicke theory in vacuum. Once we impose the embeding…
We present a detailed investigation of the Rastall gravity extension of the standard $\Lambda$CDM model. We review the model for two simultaneous modifications of different nature in the Friedmann equation due to the Rastall gravity: the…
In this paper, we consider a gravitational action containing a combination of the Ricci scalar, $R$, and the topological Gauss--Bonnet term, $G$. Specifically, we study the cosmological features of a particular class of modified gravity…
We investigate the cosmological implications of an extended gravitational framework based on biconnection gravity, constructed from the Schr$\ddot{o}$dinger connection and its dual. In this approach, the difference between the two…

We analyze different claims on the role of the coupling constant lambda in so-called lambda-R models, a minimal generalization of general relativity inspired by Horava-Lifshitz gravity. The dimensionless parameter lambda appears in the…
In this letter, we investigate cosmology within the framework of modified $f(Q, L_m)$ gravity using the non-linear model $f(Q, L_m) = -Q + \alpha L_m^n + \beta$, where $\alpha$, $\beta$, and $n$ are free parameters. The modified Friedmann…
Not much by themselves, aparently. We try to reconstruct the scale factor $a(t)$ of the universe from the SNe Ia data, i.e. the luminosity distance $d_{L}(z)$, using only the cosmological principle and the assumption that gravitation is…
We present a novel approach for reconstructing the $f(Q)$ gravitational theory using parameterizations of the deceleration parameter or alternative options. This method enables the development of modified gravity scenarios that align with…
The standard procedure to explain the accelerated expansion of the Universe is to assume the existence of an exotic component with negative pressure, generically called dark energy. Here, we propose a new accelerating flat cosmology without…
We use the effective field theory of dark energy to explore the space of modified gravity models which are capable of driving the present cosmic acceleration. We identify five universal functions of cosmic time that are enough to describe a…
Knowing the late time evolution of the Universe and finding out the causes for this evolution are the important challenges of modern cosmology. In this work, we adopt a model-independent cosmographic approach and approximate the Hubble…

The fundamental nature and origin of dark energy are one of the premier mysteries of theoretical physics. In General Relativity Theory, the cosmological constant $\Lambda$ is the simplest explanation for dark energy. On the other hand, the…
In the last dozen years a wide and variegated mass of observational data revealed that the universe is now expanding at an accelerated rate. In the absence of a well-based theory to interpret the observations, cosmography provides…
As an important candidate gravity theory alternative to dark energy, a class of $f(R)$ modified gravity, which introduces a perturbation of the Ricci scalar $R$ in the Einstein-Hilbert action, has been extensively applied to cosmology to…
