The unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity has long been elusive. Only recently have empirical predictions of various possible theories of quantum gravity been put to test, where a clear signal of quantum properties of gravity is still missing. The dawn of multi-messenger high-energy astrophysics has been tremendously beneficial, a...

In this work, we explore new constraints on phantom scalar field cosmologies with a scalar field employing early-time catalogs related to CMB measurements, along with the local standard observables, like Supernovae Type Ia (SNIa), H(z) measurements (Cosmick clocks), and Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) baselines. In particular, we studied a tracke...

Recent cosmological tensions, in particular, to infer the local value of the Hubble constant H 0, have developed new independent techniques to constrain cosmological parameters in several cosmologies. Moreover, even when the concordance Cosmological Constant Cold Dark Matter (ΛCDM) model has been well constrained with local observables, its physics...

Cosmology faces a pressing challenge with the Hubble constant (H0) tension, where the locally measured rate of the Universe’s expansion does not align with predictions from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) calibrated with ΛCDM model. Simultaneously, there is a growing tension involving the weighted amplitude of matter fluctuations, known as S8...

In this work, we derive the analytical form for a f(R) model that describes a perfect scalar field \(\phi \) by assuming the existence of a chameleon mechanism. Based on four statements, at the background and perturbative level, it is possible to relate the extra terms from this theory as a geometrical perfect fluid term, whose has been expressed a...

The open problems related to cosmological tensions in current times have opened new paths to study new probes to constrain cosmological parameters in standard and extended cosmologies, in particular, to determine at a local level the value of the Hubble constant $H_0$, through independent techniques. However, while standard Cosmological Constant Co...

In this paper, we revise the constraints on the f(Q) = Q/(8πG) − αln (Q/Q0), symmetric teleparallel model using local measurements and gravitational waves mock standard sirens. Using observational local SNIa and BAO data and energy conditions, the logarithmic f(Q) model is capable of explaining the cosmic late-time acceleration by geometrical means...

In the context of the Fab-Four theory of gravity in a Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker background, in this work we use the cosmography approach to study a particular self-tuning filter solution focused on a zero-curvature fixed point to study the H0 tension. In this scheme, the equations restrict the universe’s evolution to certain scenarios, in...

Teleparallel Gravity is a gauge theory where gravity is a manifestation of the torsion of space-time and its success relies on being a possible solution to some problems of General Relativity. In this essay we introduce the construction of the theory by defining its geometrical setup, and how we can build it as a gauge theory of translations locall...

f(T) cosmology has shown promise in explaining aspects of cosmic evolution. In this work, we analyze constraints on leading models of f(T) gravity in the context of the recently released Pantheon+ data set, together with comparisons with previous releases. We also consider other late time data sets including cosmic chronometers and baryonic acousti...

We study the production of primordial gravitational waves in the context of extended teleparallel gravity models and compare them to those of general relativity. Teleparallel gravity has been widely studied in the context of the late universe but not much in the early universe. Two sources of primordial gravitational waves are considered, vacuum fl...

Recently, it has been proposed that Hubble tension can be addressed in the $\Lambda$CDM model if the lookback time approach is considered on the redshift $z$ measured. From this interesting proposal, the lookback time evolution seems to match the observational values of the current Hubble parameter $H_0$ at any $z$. In this comment, we discuss that...

Teleparallel gravity has significantly increased in popularity in recent decades, bringing attention to Einstein’s other theory of gravity. In this Review, we give a comprehensive introduction to how teleparallel geometry is developed as a gauge theory of translations together with all the other properties of gauge field theory. We also related thi...

We consider the unified bulk viscous scenarios and constrain them using the Cosmic Microwave Background observations from Planck 2018 and the Pantheon sample from Type Ia Supernovae. Then we generate the luminosity distance measurements from ${\cal O}(10^3)$ mock Gravitational Wave Standard Sirens (GWSS) events for the proposed Einstein Telescope....

Cosmic Probes of Fundamental Physics take two primary forms: Very high energy particles (cosmic rays, neutrinos, and gamma rays) and gravitational waves. Already today, these probes give access to fundamental physics not available by any other means, helping elucidate the underlying theory that completes the Standard Model. The last decade has witn...

In this Article, we reconstruct the growth and evolution of the cosmic structure of the Universe using Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms for Gaussian processes.

The current cosmic time evolution of the Universe is described by the General Theory of Relativity when a cosmological principle is considered under a flat space time landscape. The set of known as Friedmann equations, contain the principles that lead to the construction of the standard ΛCDM model. However, the current state-of-art regarding these...

We explore the viability of three models in $f(T,B)$ gravity using data from recent surveys based on cosmic chronometers, the Pantheon data set, and baryonic acoustic oscillation data.

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected at high redshift can be used to trace the cosmic expansion history. However, the calibration of their luminosity distances is not an easy task in comparison to Type Ia Supernovae (SNeIa). To calibrate these data, correlations between their luminosity and other observed properties of GRBs need to be identified, and w...

The standard Λ Cold Dark Matter (ΛCDM) cosmological model provides a good description of a wide range of astrophysical and cosmological data.

In this paper we will list a few important goals that need to be addressed in the next decade, also taking into account the current discordances between the different cosmological probes, such as the disagreement in the value of the Hubble constant $H_0$, the $\sigma_8$--$S_8$ tension, and other less statistically significant anomalies. While these...

We show that there are various physical predictions in this model which require fine-tuning in...

General Relativity resembles a very elegant crystal glass: If we touch its principles, that is, its Lagrangian, there is a risk of breaking everything. Or, if we will, it is like a short blanket: Curing some problems creates new problems. This paper is devoted to bring to light the reasons why we pursue the possibility of a non-Lagrangian theory of...

We show that the gravitational waves measurements have raised the opportunity to measure H0 with dark sirens to within 2σ, the accuracy required to resolve the Hubble-Lema\^{i}tre tension.
