We explore an extension of the symmetric teleparallel gravity denoted the $f(Q)$ theory, by considering a function of the nonmetricity invariant $Q$ as the gravitational Lagrangian. Some interesting properties could be found in the $f(Q)$…

Einstein's celebrated theory of gravitation can be presented in three forms: general relativity, teleparallel gravity, and the rarely considered before symmetric teleparallel gravity. Extending the latter, we introduce a new class of…

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…

Symmetric teleparallel gravity and its $f(Q)$ extensions have emerged as promising alternatives to General Relativity (GR), yet the role of explicit geometry-matter couplings remains largely unexplored. In this work, we address this gap by…

We consider the teleparallel equivalent of Lovelock gravity and its natural extension, where the action is given by an arbitrary function $f(T_{_{L_1}}, T_{_{L_2}},\cdot \cdot \cdot , T_{_{L_n}})$ of the torsion invariants $T_{_{L_i}}$,…

A new cosmological theory is proposed in the theoretical framework of modified gravity theories which is based on a tachyonic field non-minimally coupled with a specific topological invariant constructed with third order contractions of the…

Assuming a spatially flat universe, we study the cosmological viability of an infrared corrected teleparallel gravity model, which accounts for late acceleration by weakening gravity at later times on cosmological distances. The theory does…
