In this paper, we study a spatially homogeneous and isotropic FLRW cosmological model in framework of the symmetric teleparallel $f(Q)$ gravity proposed by Jimenez et al. (Physical Review D 98.4 (2018): 044048), where the non-metricity $Q$…

Cosmology has entered a precision era in which discrepancies between independent datasets, most notably the $H_0$ and $S_8$ tensions, have become robust and statistically significant. These tensions are no longer isolated anomalies but…

We explore the role of the affine connection in $f(Q)$ gravity, a modified theory where gravity is governed by non-metricity within the symmetric teleparallel framework. Although the connection is constrained to be flat and torsionless, it…

Recently the teleparallel Lagrangian density described by the torsion scalar T has been extended to a function of T. The $f(T)$ modified teleparallel gravity has been proposed as the natural gravitational alternative for dark energy to…

The assumption of a flat Universe that follows the cosmological principle, i.e., that the universe is statistically homogeneous and isotropic at large scales, comprises one of the core foundations of the standard cosmological model --…

We study a minimal modified gravity scenario in the symmetric teleparallel (non-metricity) formulation, focusing on an inverse non-metricity term with $f(Q)=Q+M^4 Q^{-1}$. The model does not introduce additional free parameters relative to…
