Summary: We investigate the statefinder parameters in a cosmological model with scale-dependent gravity. The Einstein field equations are obtained from an average effective action. Analytical expressions are derived from the dynamical system to enhance the convergence of numerical solutions. We determine the statefinder parameters for moderate redshift and compare them with well-known alternatives to the ACDM model.

Summary: In this paper, a recently proposed relativistic theory for MOND is investigated using phase space analysis. The background cosmological equations of the theory are converted to a set of first-order autonomous equations. It is shown that the theory has a viable sequence of cosmological epochs and provides a richer structure in terms of the background cosmology.

Summary: In this paper, we derive the Newtonian limit of classical-quantum theories of gravity and compare it to previous models. The results show that the weak field dynamics differs from previous models. We also propose a system of stochastic differential equations for the trajectory of the hybrid classical-quantum state and provide a series of kernels for constructing figures of merit to experimentally test the parameter space of classical-quantum theories of gravity.

Summary: This work is based on a formalism developed in the study of spacetime thermodynamics to derive Einstein equations from entropy proportionality within an area. It introduces an additional logarithmic term in the entropy expression when considering low-energy quantum gravity effects. The derivation of quantum modified gravitational dynamics from this modified entropy expression is presented, along with its main features. The application of the modified dynamics to cosmology, suggesting a regular bounce instead of the Big Bang singularity, is also outlined.

Summary: This paper systematically derives the SP equations and relativistic corrections from the nonlinear and fully relativistic KGE equations in an expanding universe, providing insights into deviations and applicability beyond the SP system. The method presented simplifies the analysis of scalar dark matter dynamics and accurately captures deviations from the SP system towards the full KGE case, particularly in calculating the mass-radius relationship of solitons.

Summary: In this work, a bumblebee field is utilized to generate cosmological anisotropies by violating Lorentz symmetry through a nonzero vacuum expectation value. When coupled to Bianchi I geometry, the bumblebee field produces a preferred axis, contributing to cosmic anisotropies. The article concludes by attempting to place an upper limit on the bumblebee field using the quadrupole and octopole moments of the cosmic microwave background radiation.

Summary: This study examines features in the inflationary landscape that can inject extra energies into inflation models and produce on-shell particles with masses larger than the Hubble scale, extending the energy reach of cosmological collider physics program. The mechanisms of classical cosmological collider are studied in two categories of primordial features, including classical oscillations and sharp features in the inflation model, which can excite unsuppressed quantum modes of heavy fields leaving observational signatures in primordial non-Gaussianities.

Summary: In this work, we introduce metric-affine theories in a new way by changing the field variables. We present a set of equivalent frameworks and provide detailed identifications. The advantage of using these new frameworks is that any metric-affine theory can be treated as a Riemannian theory with additional fields. We investigate the Hilbert-Palatini action and reveal interesting symmetries under SO transformations in field space. Then, we use solvable Riemannian theories as seed models for solvable metric-affine theories, focusing on three examples. We present a black hole solution with torsion and non-metricity that becomes regular under certain tuning. Additionally, we report a de Sitter universe with expansion powered by 3-form torsion.

Summary: Consistent coupling between quantum and classical degrees of freedom is achieved when there is diffusion of classical degrees of freedom and decoherence of the quantum system. This paper derives the Newtonian limit of classical-quantum (CQ) theories of gravity and finds that the Newtonian potential diffuses into mass eigenstates due to decoherence. The results are presented as a set of stochastic differential equations and can be used to experimentally test and eliminate certain parameter spaces of classical-quantum theories of gravity through the trade-off between decoherence and diffusion.

Summary: This review discusses the cosmological doomsdays predicted by some phantom dark-energy models, namely the big rip, the little rip, and the little sibling of the big rip, in the framework of metric f(R) theories of gravity. It is suggested that quantum gravity effects may potentially smooth or avoid these classically predicted singularities.

Summary: In this study, possible cosmological signatures were searched for using galaxy cluster gas mass fraction measurements and cosmic chronometers. The results show that no significant departure from general relativity was found regardless of assumptions about cosmic curvature or a possible depletion factor evolution in cluster measurements.

Summary: This study focuses on gravitational wave (GW) signals generated by first-order phase transitions in supersymmetry-breaking hidden sectors, which occur along a pseudo-flat direction related to supersymmetry breaking and possess novel properties. Future interferometers are expected to detect these GW signals, and the observation of GW signals from SUSY-breaking hidden sectors would imply the detection of superpartners at future colliders.

Summary: Expanding the clockwork mechanism to gravitational interactions allows for the generation of exponentially suppressed coupling to matter, without the need for large hierarchies or a dilaton. By constructing appropriate potentials, the theory exhibits the desired clockwork effect. Additionally, cosmological solutions within this framework are considered, revealing the existence of multiple deSitter vacua. Furthermore, the continuum limit of the theory is clarified, demonstrating its applicability to cosmological solutions in ghost free multi-gravity theories with nearest-neighbour interactions.

Summary: This article presents an emergent universe scenario derived from DHOST cosmology. The universe transitions from an asymptotic Minkowski state in the far past to a radiation dominated period in the late stage, providing a graceful exit. Analysis shows that cosmological perturbations are stable, and the primordial scalar spectrum is discussed for achieving scale invariance.
