Cosmic distances can be measured using two complementary probes: Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia), serving as standard candles, and baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO), serving as standard rulers. The luminosity distance derived from supernovae…
Theoretical predictions from a modified theory of gravity with a nonminimal coupling between matter and curvature are compared to data from recent cosmological surveys. We use type Ia supernovae data from the Pantheon+ sample and the recent…

We perform a data-driven test of the FLRW metric and the flatness of the Universe, independently of any Dark Energy model, and in light of the latest DESI DR2 results. We use Pantheon+ and DESY5 SNIa data to reconstruct the distance…

Recent DESI data suggest that dark energy may be evolving and motivate the use of model-independent diagnostics such as $Om(z)$ and probes of the equation of state (EoS) of dark energy, $w(z)$. Traditional reconstructions of $w(z)$ rely on…
Baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) provide a robust standard ruler, and can be used to constrain the expansion history of the Universe at low redshift. Standard BAO analyses return a model-independent measurement of the expansion rate and…

In this study, we investigate a cosmological model involving a negative cosmological constant (AdS vacua in the dark energy sector). We consider a quintessence field on top of a negative cosmological constant and study its impact on…
Relaxing the conventional assumption of a minimal coupling between the dark matter (DM) and dark energy (DE) fields introduces significant changes in the predicted evolution of the Universe. Therefore, testing such a possibility constitutes…
We develop a framework for self-consistently extracting cosmological information from the clustering of tracers in redshift space, $\textit{without}$ relying on model-dependent templates to describe the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO)…
One of the algorithms typically used for fitting anisotropic Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO), $\alpha_{\perp}D_{M, \text{fid}}(z)/r_{d, \text{fid}}=D_{M}(z)/r_{d}$, provides an excellent fit as $z\Rightarrow 0$. Yet, at $ z_{\text{drag}}…

Anti-de Sitter vacuum, which correspond to a negative cosmological constant (CC), is theoretically important and well-motivated. However, whether it exists in reality or not has always been a controversial issue. In this paper, we perform…
