abstract

We investigate the impact on cosmological observables of $f(Q)$-gravity, a specific class of modified gravity models in which gravity is described by the non-metricity scalar, $Q$. In particular we focus on a specific model which is indistinguishable from the $\Lambda$-cold-dark-matter ($\Lambda$CDM) model at the background level, while showing peculiar and measurable signatures at linear perturbation level. These are attributed to a time-dependent Planck mass and are regulated by a single dimensionless parameter, $\alpha$. In comparison to the $\Lambda$CDM model, we find for positive values of $\alpha$ a suppressed matter power spectrum and lensing effect on the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation (CMB) angular power spectrum and an enhanced integrated-Sachs-Wolfe tail of CMB temperature anisotropies. The opposite behaviors are present when the $\alpha$ parameter is negative. We also investigate the modified Gravitational Waves (GWs) propagation and show the prediction of the GWs luminosity distance compared to the standard electromagnetic one. Finally, we infer the accuracy on the free parameter of the model with standard sirens at future GWs detectors.

  1. Atomic clocks and gravitational waves as probes of non-metricity

    gr-qc 2026-01 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    The paper claims existing gravitational-wave data already bound Weyl non-metricity, α²ω̄0<10⁻⁶⁹ GeV, via backreaction of a Planck-scale Weyl field, but a dropped kinetic term numerically exceeds the assumed sensitivity.

  2. Constraints on Logarithmic Model Extensions of Symmetric Teleparallel Gravity

    astro-ph.CO 2025-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Two new logarithmic f(Q) gravity models fit current cosmological data and predict contrasting, testable deviations in the effective gravitational coupling and gravitational-wave damping.

  3. Decoupling perturbations from background in $f(Q)$ gravity: the square-root correction and the impact on the $\sigma_8$ tension

    astro-ph.CO 2025-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A sqrt(Q) correction in f(Q) gravity suppresses structure growth without altering the expansion history; fitted to RSD/DESI data it can bring sigma8 into agreement with Planck, at the cost of a sigma8-M degeneracy.

  4. 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.

  5. Analysing Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays' Anisotropy in $\boldsymbol{f(R, T)}$ Gravity Theory

    astro-ph.HE 2024-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Under f(R,T) gravity models, the predicted dipole anisotropy of diffusive UHECRs is lower than under ΛCDM, and with tuned magnetic field and source distance both fit Pierre Auger data.
