We study cosmological models derived from higher-order Gauss-Bonnet gravity F(R,G) by using the Lagrange multiplier approach without assuming the presence of additional fields with the exception of standard perfect fluid matter. The presence of Lagrange multipliers reduces the number of allowed solutions. We need to introduce compatibility conditions of the FRW equations, which impose strict restrictions on the metric or require the introduction of additional exotic matter. Several classes of F(R,G) models are generated and discussed.

Velocity distribution of elliptical galaxies in the framework of Non-local Gravity model

Dusko Borka, Vesna Borka Jovanovic, Salvatore Capozziello, Predrag Jovanovic

Summary: We study the velocity distribution of elliptical galaxies within the framework of Non-local Gravity. This approach allows us to reproduce the fundamental plane of elliptical galaxies without assuming the presence of dark matter. By comparing theoretical predictions with observed data, we find that non-local gravity effects can successfully explain the stellar dynamics in elliptical galaxies.

Barrow holographic dark energy in the Brans-Dicke cosmology

S. Ghaffari, Giuseppe Gaetano Luciano, S. Capozziello

Summary: We constructed a holographic model for dark energy in the Brans-Dicke cosmology by incorporating the Barrow entropy. The Hubble horizon was used as the IR cutoff to explore the cosmological consequences. We found that both the non-interacting and interacting cases can explain the current accelerated expansion of the universe, unlike the standard holographic dark energy model. Stability analysis showed that the non-interacting model was unstable, while the sign-changeable interacting model was stable only for certain parameter values. The linear interacting model always predicted a stable universe. The consistency of the model with cosmological observations was discussed.

Tracking the Local Group dynamics by extended gravity

David Benisty, Salvatore Capozziello

Summary: In this study, the dynamics of the Local Group (LG) of galaxies were examined with regards to contributions from the cosmological constant. The effects of dark energy and dark matter in the f(R) gravity theory were considered in the analysis. Constraints on the Yukawa couplings were derived, and the possibility of replacing dark matter with a MOND-like theory was explored. The study also demonstrated the potential of falsifying MOND-like theories through the calculation of the dark matter to baryonic matter ratio in the LG.

Addressing Cosmological Tensions by Non-Local Gravity

Filippo Bouche, Salvatore Capozziello, Vincenzo Salzano

Summary: Alternative cosmological models are being studied as potential solutions to the weaknesses of the lambda CDM model. Tensions have emerged between the model-dependent analysis of the Cosmic Microwave Background and lower redshift probes as cosmological surveys improve. Two quantum-inspired non-locally extended theories of gravity are reviewed, focusing on their cosmological implications and their potential to address the Hubble and growth tensions. The Deser-Woodard model shows promising features, while further investigation is needed for the non-local cosmology based on Noether symmetries.

The effective equation of state in Palatini f (R) cosmology

Stefano Camera, Salvatore Capozziello, Lorenzo Fatibene, Andrea Orizzonte

Summary: We investigate how the cosmological equation of state can be used to scrutinize extended theories of gravity, specifically the Palatini f(R) gravity. The effective equation of state produced by a given model is studied, and the inverse problem of determining which models are compatible with a given effective equation of state is also considered. We find that power-law models are capable of transforming barotropic Equations of State into effective barotropic ones, and the form of equation of state is preserved only for f(R) = R. Additionally, quadratic and non-homogeneous effective Equations of State contain the Starobinsky model and other models.

Reducing the Uncertainty on the Hubble Constant up to 35% with an Improved Statistical Analysis: Different Best-fit Likelihoods for Type Ia Supernovae, Baryon Acoustic Oscillations, Quasars, and Gamma-Ray Bursts

Maria Giovanna Dainotti, Giada Bargiacchi, Malgorzata Bogdan, Aleksander Lukasz Lenart, Kazunari Iwasaki, Salvatore Capozziello, Bing Zhang, Nissim Fraija

Summary: By combining high-redshift probes such as GRBs and QSOs with other observational data, it is shown that alternative cosmological models could potentially explain the discrepancy in the Hubble constant. This study uses data from GRBs and QSOs, and applies statistical methods to reduce uncertainties in the estimation of cosmological parameters.

Exploring departures from Schwarzschild black hole in f(R) gravity

Vittorio De Falco, Francesco Bajardi, Rocco D'Agostino, Micol Benetti, Salvatore Capozziello

Summary: Various astrophysical methods are used to detect possible deviations from General Relativity in this work. A class of f(R) gravity models, selected by the existence of Noether symmetries, is considered. The study determines static and spherically symmetric black hole solutions that encompass small departures from the Schwarzschild geometry. The proposed strategy of using ray-tracing technique and considering the Poynting-Robertson effect proves to be robust and efficient in investigating gravity and detecting small deviations from General Relativity.

Spinning (A)dS black holes with slow-rotation approximation in dynamical Chern-Simons modified gravity

G. G. L. Nashed, S. Capozziello

Summary: This study investigates the possible modifications of general relativity at ultraviolet and infrared scales, particularly considering the possibility of parity violation in strong gravity regime. The Chern-Simons gravity theory is used to account for the parity violation. The study shows that for certain spacetime structures, Chern-Simons gravity is equivalent to general relativity, but it is not applicable to (A)dS-Kerr/Kerr black holes. The thermodynamic quantities and geodesic equation of the black hole are also calculated.

The gamma-ray bursts fundamental plane correlation as a cosmological tool

M. G. Dainotti, A. L. Lenart, A. Chraya, G. Sarracino, S. Nagataki, N. Fraija, S. Capozziello, M. Bogdan

Summary: Currently, there is a debate about cosmological models and their corresponding parameters due to the discrepancy between H-0 obtained from SNe Ia and the Planck data. Considering high redshift probes like gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is necessary but challenging due to the large range of GRB luminosities. In this study, we use the 3D Dainotti fundamental plane relation to infer cosmological parameters, and by considering selection and evolutionary effects, we obtain a lower intrinsic scatter compared to previous results. Our analysis, using GRB correlations and complemented with SNe Ia and BAO measurements, confirms the parameters of the Lambda cold dark matter model but with the advantage of using probes detected up to z = 5.

Black hole thermodynamics from logotropic fluids

Salvatore Capozziello, Rocco D'Agostino, Alessio Lapponi, Orlando Luongo

Summary: We demonstrate the existence of black hole solutions that conform to the thermodynamics of logotropic fluids, which have recently been employed to address cosmological and astrophysical issues, within the framework of the Einstein field equations with a negative cosmological constant. This is accomplished by employing the generalization of logotropic fluids known as the Anton-Schmidt equation of state. We further investigate the construction of the anti-de Sitter metric, satisfying energy conditions, and explore alternative solutions by relaxing the strong energy condition.

Reconstructing the distortion function of non-local cosmology: A model-independent approach

Salvatore Capozziello, Rocco D'Agostino

Summary: This article explores non-local modifications of General Relativity by considering a distortion function in terms of the inverse of the d'Alembert operator. By using numerical methods and a model-independent approach based on current observations, the shape of the distortion function is reconstructed, and the best analytical approximation of the non-local Lagrangian is inferred. The results show that this non-local modification provides a natural explanation for late cosmic acceleration and avoids fine-tuning issues with the cosmological constant.

The role of the boundary term in f(Q, B) symmetric teleparallel gravity

Salvatore Capozziello, Vittorio De Falco, Carmen Ferrara

Summary: In the context of metric-affine gravity, the role of the boundary term in Symmetric Teleparallel Gravity is examined in f(Q,B) models. The field equations are derived and compared to those of f(Q) gravity in the limit of B approaching 0, revealing the dynamic equivalence between f(Q,B) and f(R) gravity. Conservation laws are also obtained. Considering boundary terms in f(Q) gravity represents the final ingredient for the Extended Geometric Trinity of Gravity, allowing for a unified treatment of f(R), f(T,(B) over tilde), and f(Q,B).
