Summary: This paper introduces a new cosmological framework integrating dark matter into a minimally modified gravity model, maintaining the same number of gravitational degrees of freedom through a series of transformations. The framework includes two time-dependent free functions to achieve desired evolutions of Hubble expansion rate and effective gravitational constant for dark matter.

Summary: Standard cosmological data analyses can't easily determine the presence of modified gravity. This study presents a quantitative mapping showing how modified gravity models appear within standard analyses, reporting specific biases in standard-parameter spaces. The implications for measurements of mass fluctuations are also discussed.

Summary: Minimally modified gravity models use auxiliary constraints to maintain a dynamic cosmological background, with results of linear perturbations being insensitive to constraint details, leading to a modified effective gravitational constant or a non-zero dust sound speed.

Summary: This study presents a general covariant local field theory of the holographic dark energy model, showing that the low energy effective theory is the massive gravity theory with a scalar graviton having strong coupling at certain energy scale. The UV-IR correspondence in this model stems from the breakdown of the effective field theory at the energy scale.

Summary: The thermodynamics-gravity conjecture suggests a strong connection between the gravitational field equations and the first law of thermodynamics, meaning any changes in entropy expression directly impact the field equations. By considering the modified Barrow entropy associated with the apparent horizon, the Friedmann equations are altered as well. This paper explores the implications of this modification on the holographic dark energy (HDE) model, highlighting changes in energy density and the Friedmann equations. The study also investigates the cosmological consequences of using the Hubble horizon and future event horizon as infrared cutoffs, including interactions between dark matter (DM) and dark energy (DE), and the impact of the Barrow exponent on the cosmological behavior of HDE, such as crossing the phantom line and shifting the universe phase transition time.

Summary: In the context of scalar-tensor theories, stealth de Sitter solutions face issues of infinite strong coupling or gradient instability, which can be resolved by introducing a controlled detuning mechanism known as scordatura. This mechanism not only resolves the mentioned issues, but also ensures a well-defined quasi-static limit.

Summary: A new critically emergent dark energy model (CEDE) is proposed, which is consistent with both Planck's CMB data and Riess et al.'s local Hubble constant measurements. The model suggests that dark energy emerges at a transition redshift, providing a possible explanation for the Hubble constant tension.

Summary: The stable pseudo-scalar degree of freedom in the quadratic Poincare Gauge theory of gravity is identified as a suitable candidate for dark matter. The study determines the parameter space in the theory that can explain all predicted cold dark matter phenomena and constrains these parameters with astrophysical observations.

Summary: By investigating the features of a non-metricity scalar Q function, the cosmological implications of f(Q) gravity are explored, and analytical expressions for the dark energy density, equation-of-state, and deceleration parameters are obtained. The study reveals that even in the absence of a cosmological constant, the universe follows the usual thermal history with matter and dark energy eras, and the dark energy equation-of-state parameter remains in the phantom regime. Additionally, the scenario shows excellent agreement with observational data from Supernovae type Ia. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that f(Q) gravity can effectively mimic the behavior of a cosmological constant.

Summary: This work presents an improvement on Gaussian reconstruction of the Hubble parameter data and explores new constraints in the Horndeski theory of gravity. The research finds that the prior used to calibrate the Pantheon supernovae data significantly affects the reconstructions, with the best fit reconstruction calibrated using the Ho value from The Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program.

Summary: The study shows that certain dark energy parametrization models are ruled out and a strong preference against the Chevallier-Polarski-Linder model. A mock GW catalogue suggests that approximately 1000 standard sirens are needed to constrain H-0 within a 1% relative error.

Summary: The study analyzes how to parametrize general modifications of the dark matter perturbations equations in a model-independent way, and shows that a general model with an imperfect and non-conserved dark matter fluid in a modified gravity scenario can be described with five general functions. It focuses on the sub-Hubble regime and finds that observable power spectra are sensitive to only three combinations of the initial five functions, which can help determine whether a modification of gravity or an imperfect/non-conserved dark matter is present. A Fisher forecast analysis for these three parameters is performed, with an example shown for a specific model with shear viscosity.

Summary: The analysis of emergent cosmological dynamics in mean field hydrodynamics of quantum gravity condensates reveals accelerated expansion of the universe at both early and late times. Although it does not support a compelling inflationary scenario in the early universe, it naturally produces a phantom-like dark energy dynamics at late times, which crosses the phantom divide and avoids any Big Rip singularity, approaching a de Sitter universe asymptotically.

Summary: The paper investigates the implications of metric compatible covariant canonical gauge theory of gravity on cosmological scales. The resulting equations of motion in a Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker Universe are derived for a totally anti-symmetric torsion tensor. The modifications of the Friedmann equations, equivalent to spatial curvature, are shown in the limit of a vanishing quadratic Riemann-Cartan term and are further investigated in the early and late times of the Universe's history.

Summary: This study presents a methodology for correlating 'dark sirens' with galaxy catalogs and explores improvements for gravitational wave detections. The results provide measurements of H-0 and Xi(0), showing interesting constraints for observing dark energy and modifications of gravity at cosmological scales. The study also discusses limits on modified GW propagation under certain conditions.

Summary: This article summarizes recent advances in the study of the SO(4,1) spinor representations in the context of four-dimensional de Sitter universe. Its aim is to further understand quantum field theory and holography at different signs of the cosmological constant by exploring how these representations manifest in cosmological setups. The article particularly focuses on the manifestation of SO(4,1) representations at the late-time boundary of de Sitter, and points out future questions to be explored at the late-time boundary and the static patch.
