abstract

Over the last years some interest has been gathered by $f(Q)$ theories, which are new candidates to replace Einstein's prescription for gravity. The non-metricity tensor $Q$ allows to put forward the assumption of a free torsionless connection and, consequently, new degrees of freedom in the action are taken into account. This work focuses on a class of $f(Q)$ theories, characterized by the presence of a general power-law term which adds up to the standard (linear in) $Q$ term in the action, and on new cosmological scenarios arising from them. Using the Markov chain Montecarlo method we carry out statistical tests relying upon background data such as Type Ia Supernovae luminosities and direct Hubble data (from cosmic clocks), along with Cosmic Microwave Background shift and Baryon Acoustic Oscillations data. This allows us to perform a multifaceted comparison between these new cosmologies and the (concordance) $\Lambda$CDM setup. We conclude that, at the current precision level, the best fits of our $f(Q)$ models correspond to values of their specific parameters which make them hardly distinguishable from our General Relativity "\'echantillon", that is $\Lambda$CDM.

  1. Degenerate and connection-dependent cosmological sectors in f(Q,C) gravity

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Connection field equations force a degenerate f(R)-equivalent sector of f(Q,C) cosmology in which three geometric connections coincide, and only nonzero integration constants make the connections physically distinct.

  2. Alleviating the Hubble Tension with Smooth Sign-Switching Dark Energy: Full CMB Constraints with DESI and PantheonPlus

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Smooth ECDM dark energy remains compatible with Planck+ACT+SPT, DESI DR2 and Pantheon+/SH0ES while alleviating the Hubble tension through a controlled late-time density transition.

  3. Observational constraints on 3-forms dark energy

    astro-ph.CO 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Fitting a Gaussian-potential 3-form dark-energy model to Planck, DESI, Pantheon+, Cepheid and DES data shifts H0 up by only ~0.4 km/s/Mpc and yields a weak statistical preference over ΛCDM.

  4. Cosmographic analysis of sign-switching dark energy

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    New sign-switching dark energy models with ladder, smooth-step and error-function profiles are introduced and compared, with continuous transitions shown to convert the Lambda_sCDM sudden singularity into a milder w-s...

  5. Three-form dark energy: constraints and multi-probe comparison with $\Lambda$CDM

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Three-form dark energy with Gaussian potential is fitted to multi-probe cosmological data and shows mild statistical preference over ΛCDM only in heavily tensioned dataset combinations.

  6. Dynamical Dark Energy or Modified Gravity? Signatures in Gravitational Wave Propagation

    gr-qc 2025-09 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Reconstructing the dark energy density from DESI BAO and DESyr5 supernovae, then recasting it as f(Q) gravity, predicts a low-redshift gravitational wave damping ν≈0.18 (≳2σ from GR) only for the DESyr5 dataset.
