abstract
In this work, we study cosmological spacetime configurations in $f(Q)$ gravity with nonvanishing symmetric teleparallel connections. It is known that the spatially flat, homogeneous and isotropic connections can be classified into three sets. Focusing on two of those, we explore the stability of cosmological background evolution near the general relativity regime across radiation, matter, dark energy, and geometric dark energy dominated eras. Our results show that for the standard connection set 1 the general relativity regime can be realized in two ways and both exhibit stable behavior throughout all evolutionary epochs. Conversely, for the alternative connection set 2 the trivial general relativity limit is stable, while the nontrivial option exhibits stability during the radiation era and marginal stability during the matter era, but for the dark energy and geometric dark energy eras our results are inconclusive. Furthermore, we discuss the general conditions on the function $f(Q)$ that physically viable models should obey, and point out that for a generic $f(Q)$ the alternative connection sets 2 and 3 are prone to trigger a sudden singularity. This can happen even near the otherwise good looking general relativity regime, as we demonstrate by an explicit numerical example. Hence the alternative configurations could be problematic already on the background level.

Weak Gravity Limit in Newer General Relativity
In Newer GR, stable tensor and vector sectors force one coefficient combination to its GR value, and the STEGR-plus-gradient-squared model carries 3/2 new dynamical modes, not 1.

Apparent horizon thermodynamics in an exponential $f(Q)$ gravity model
In an exponential f(Q) model, apparent-horizon entropy gains exponentially suppressed corrections to the area law, and the generalized second law excludes parameter values b>0.26 in the future-redshift region.

Atomic clocks and gravitational waves as probes of non-metricity
The paper claims existing gravitational-wave data already bound Weyl non-metricity, α²ω̄0<10⁻⁶⁹ GeV, via backreaction of a Planck-scale Weyl field, but a dropped kinetic term numerically exceeds the assumed sensitivity.

Generalized Scale factor Duality Symmetry in Symmetric Teleparallel Scalar-tensor FLRW Cosmology
A generalized Gasperini-Veneziano scale-factor duality is constructed for the three symmetric-teleparallel FLRW connections, with conservation laws and an exact solution for one connection.

Physical nonviability of $f(\mathbb{Q})$ in the scalar-tensor representation
The scalar-tensor representation of f(Q) gravity reproduces the known ghost/strong-coupling obstruction, so the pathology is not an artifact of the original variables.

Decoupling perturbations from background in $f(Q)$ gravity: the square-root correction and the impact on the $\sigma_8$ tension
A sqrt(Q) correction in f(Q) gravity suppresses structure growth without altering the expansion history; fitted to RSD/DESI data it can bring sigma8 into agreement with Planck, at the cost of a sigma8-M degeneracy.
