General Relativity enjoys the freedom of different geometrical interpretations in terms of curvature, torsion or non-metricity. Within this geometrical trinity, a simpler geometrical formulation of General Relativity manifests itself in the latter, where gravity is entirely attributed to non-metricity. In this Letter, we consider non-linear extensions of Coincident General Relativity f((Q) over circle) for phenomenological applications on both cosmological as well as galactic scales. The theory not only delivers dark energy on large scales but also recovers MOND on galactic scales, together with implications for the early universe cosmology. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first relativistic, covariant, and ghost-free hybrid-formulation of MOND which recovers both, General Relativity and MOND in the appropriate limits and reconciles expected cosmological behavior. We further illustrate that previous bimetric formulations of MOND generically suffer from ghost instabilities and f((Q) over circle) crystalizes as a unique ghost-free theory. (C) 2020 The Authors.
