Reconstructing the expansion history of the Universe from type Ia supernovae data, we fit the growth rate measurements and put model-independent constraints on some key cosmological parameters, namely, $\Omega_\mathrm{m},\gamma$, and…

Strong gravitational lensing time-delay measurements, together with the distance sum rule (DSR), offer a model-independent approach to probe the geometry and expansion of the universe without relying on a fiducial cosmological model. In…

In the late 1990's, observations of 93 Type Ia supernovae were analysed in the framework of the FLRW cosmology assuming these to be `standard(isable) candles'. It was thus inferred that the Hubble expansion rate is accelerating as if driven…

In this paper, we considered the study of Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) model in the framework of $f(Q,T)$ gravity, an extension of symmetric teleparallel gravity, recently defined by Y. Xu et al. \cite{Xu}. The non-linear model…
