In this article, we investigate the cosmological viability of a modified symmetric teleparallel gravity model within the $f(Q)$ framework. We derive observational constraints on the model parameters by performing a Markov Chain Monte Carlo…
In teleparallel gravity and, in particular, in $F(T)$ teleparallel gravity, there is a challenge in determining an appropriate (co-)frame and its corresponding spin connection to describe the geometry. Very often, the "proper" frame, the…
Some aspects of two General Relativistic cosmological solutions, an exact $\Lambda$CDM-like cosmological solution $j=1$ ($j$ is cosmographic jerk parameter), and a specifically designed toy cosmological solution $j=1+3\varepsilon(q-1/2)$…
Given the remarkable success of the $\Lambda$CDM model in fitting various cosmological observations, a pertinent question in assessing the phenomenological viability of modified gravity theories is whether they can reproduce an exactly…
