abstract
We investigate the propagating degrees of freedom of $f(Q)$-gravity in a $4$-dimensional space-time under the imposition of the coincident gauge by performing the Dirac-Bergmann analysis. In this work, we start with a top-down reconstruction of the metric-affine gauge theory of gravity based only on the concept of a vector bundle. Then, the so-called geometrical trinity of gravity is introduced and the role of the coincident GR is clarified. After that, we reveal relationships between the boundary terms in the variational principle and the symplectic structure of the theory in order to confirm the validity of the analysis for our studied theories. Then, as examples, we revisit the analysis of GR and its $f(\lc{R})$-extensions. Finally, after reviewing the Dirac-Bergmann analysis of the coincident GR and that of $f(T)$-gravity, we perform the analysis of coincident $f(Q)$-gravity. Under the imposition of appropriate spatial boundary conditions, we find that, as a generic case, the theory has five primary, three secondary, and two tertiary constraint densities and all these constraint densities are classified into second-class constraint density; the number six is the propagating degrees of freedom of the theory and there are no longer any remaining gauge degrees of freedom. We also discuss the condition of providing seven pDoF as a generic case. The violation of diffeomorphism invariance of coincident $f(Q)$-gravity make it possible to emerge such several sectors.

Degrees of freedom of a quadratic scalar-nonmetricity theory
In quadratic scalar-nonmetricity gravity, Hamiltonian analysis shows 10, 8, and 8 degrees of freedom for cases II, V, and VI, while linear cosmological perturbation theory sees only 10, 6, and 5, indicating hidden str...

Revisiting Coincident GR in Internal STEGR Formulation
The paper derives internal-STEGR field equations, recovers coincident GR as the coincident-gauge sector, and finds that massive test particles obey a norm-flow equation instead of geodesics.

ACT-DR6 consistent inflation in generalised entropic cosmology and $f(Q)$ gravity
Reconstruction produces explicit f(Q) and generalised-entropic inflation models (and scalar-coupled versions) whose slow-roll parameters match ACT-DR6 + Planck-BAO constraints on n_s and r.

Dynamical Dark Energy or Modified Gravity? Signatures in Gravitational Wave Propagation
Reconstructing the dark energy density from DESI BAO and DESyr5 supernovae, then recasting it as f(Q) gravity, predicts a low-redshift gravitational wave damping ν≈0.18 (≳2σ from GR) only for the DESyr5 dataset.
