Abstract The unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity has long been elusive. Only recently have empirical predictions various possible theories gravity put to test, where a clear signal properties is still missing. dawn multi-messenger high-energy astrophysics tremendously beneficial, as it allows us study particles with much higher energies travelling longer distances than in terrestrial experiments, but more progress needed on several fronts. A thorough appraisal current...

A possible interaction between cold dark matter and energy, corresponding to a well-known interacting energy model discussed in the literature within context of resolving Hubble tension, has been investigated. We put constraints on it novel way, by creating new likelihoods with an analytical marginalization over parameter $H_0$, sound horizon $r_d$, supernova absolute magnitude $M_B$. Our aim is investigate impacts coupling model, $\xi$, equation state $w$ density $\Omega_{m,0}$. The...

The $H_0$ tension and the accompanying $r_d$ are a hot topic in current cosmology. In order to remove degeneracy between Hubble parameter sound horizon scale from Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) datasets, we redefine likelihood by marginalizing over $H_0 \cdot r_d$ then perform full Bayesian analysis for different models of dark energy (DE). We find that our uncalibrated early or late physics {datasets cannot} constrain DE properly without further assumptions. By adding type IA supernova...

We study the two-body problem in context of both dark energy and post-Newtonian modifications. In this unified framework, we demonstrate that plays role a critical period with T Λ = 2 π / c √Λ ≈ 60 Gyr. also show ratio between orbital periods naturally emerges from Kretschmann scalar, which is quadratic curvature invariant characterizing all binary systems effectively represented by de Sitter-Schwarzschild space-time. The suitability system constraining determined its Keplerian period, K , ....

The Hubble tension in cosmology is not showing signs of alleviation and thus, it important to look for alternative approaches it. One such example would be the eventual detection a time delay between simultaneously emitted high-energy low-energy photons gamma-ray bursts (GRB). This signal possible Lorentz Invariance Violation (LIV) case non-zero quantum gravity delay, can used study as well. In this work, we use various astrophysical datasets (BAO, Pantheon Plus CMB distance priors),...

Abstract Putting constraints on a possible Lorentz Invariance Violation (LIV) from astrophysical sources such as gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is essential for finding evidences of new theories quantum gravity (QG) that predict an energy-dependent speed light. This search has its own difficulties, so usually, the effect cosmological model understudied, with default being fixed-parameters ΛCDM.In this work, we use various datasets to study number dark energy models LIV constraints.

Recently, a model of modified gravity plus single scalar field was proposed, in which the couples both to standard Riemannian volume form given by square root determinant metric, as well another non-Riemannian terms an auxiliary maximal rank antisymmetric tensor gauge field. This provides exact unified description dark energy (via dynamically generated cosmological constant) and matter (as “dust” fluid due hidden nonlinear Noether symmetry).
