The simplest i.e. the Abelian i.e. the commutative i.e. the integrable i.e. the flat and torsion-free i.e. the symmetric teleparallel affine connection has been considered in many recent works in the literature. Such an affine connection is characterised by the property that it can be vanished by a general coordinate transformation, by fixing the so called coincident gauge. This article focuses on the subtleties involved in the applications of the coincident gauge.

  1. Degrees of freedom of a quadratic scalar-nonmetricity theory

    gr-qc 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0

    In quadratic scalar-nonmetricity gravity, Hamiltonian analysis shows 10, 8, and 8 degrees of freedom for cases II, V, and VI, while linear cosmological perturbation theory sees only 10, 6, and 5, indicating hidden str...

  2. Physical nonviability of $f(\mathbb{Q})$ in the scalar-tensor representation

    gr-qc 2026-06 conditional novelty 4.0

    The scalar-tensor representation of f(Q) gravity reproduces the known ghost/strong-coupling obstruction, so the pathology is not an artifact of the original variables.

  3. Late-Time Cosmology and Structure Formation in Quadratic $f(Q)$ Gravity

    physics.gen-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Quadratic f(Q) gravity adds an H^4 term to the Friedmann equation and introduces a time-dependent G_eff that suppresses linear growth and halo abundance, offering a modified-gravity route to easing the S8 tension.

  4. 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

    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.

  5. Physical nonviability of $f(\mathbb{Q})$ in the scalar-tensor representation

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    f(Q) gravity exhibits pathological behavior in its scalar-tensor representation.
