Exploring the stability of f(Q) cosmology near general relativity limit with different connections
read the original abstract
In this work, we study cosmological spacetime configurations in $f(Q)$ gravity with nonvanishing symmetric teleparallel connections. It is known that the spatially flat, homogeneous and isotropic connections can be classified into three sets. Focusing on two of those, we explore the stability of cosmological background evolution near the general relativity regime across radiation, matter, dark energy, and geometric dark energy dominated eras. Our results show that for the standard connection set 1 the general relativity regime can be realized in two ways and both exhibit stable behavior throughout all evolutionary epochs. Conversely, for the alternative connection set 2 the trivial general relativity limit is stable, while the nontrivial option exhibits stability during the radiation era and marginal stability during the matter era, but for the dark energy and geometric dark energy eras our results are inconclusive. Furthermore, we discuss the general conditions on the function $f(Q)$ that physically viable models should obey, and point out that for a generic $f(Q)$ the alternative connection sets 2 and 3 are prone to trigger a sudden singularity. This can happen even near the otherwise good looking general relativity regime, as we demonstrate by an explicit numerical example. Hence the alternative configurations could be problematic already on the background level.

3-dimensional charged black holes in $f({Q})$ gravity
New exact charged black hole solutions in (2+1)D f(Q) gravity with cubic form yield a novel AdS solution without GR counterpart, with multiple horizons, stable thermodynamics, and stable photon orbits.

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

Static plane symmetric solutions in $f(Q)$ gravity
f(Q) gravity yields Taub-de Sitter-like plane symmetric vacuum solutions, and quadratic models support isotropic slabs where maximum pressure is offset from the center with thickness and pressure increasing for negative α.

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

Dynamical analysis of the covariant $f(Q)$ gravity models
Power-law and logarithmic coupling models in covariant f(Q) gravity reproduce radiation, matter, and dark energy eras through dynamical systems analysis of critical points and their stability.

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