In this paper, we conduct a statistical analysis of various cosmological models within the framework of f (R) gravity theories, motivated by persistent challenges in modern cosmology, such as the unknown mechanisms driving the late-time accelerated expansion of the universe. We begin by presenting a comprehensive formulation of these theories and discussing their potential to resolve the outstanding issues. Following this, we perform a detailed statistical examination in a cosmological context, leveraging a wide array of observational data. Special attention is given to the incorporation of the latest Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) measurements from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) and of the Pantheon++SH0ES compilation, which play a critical role in constraining these models. Our results show an increase in the values of the distortion parameter b and of the Hubble parameter H0 estimates, due to the use of this new compilation of SnIa data. However, no major changes are perceived when using the DESI data set instead of the previous BAO observations.

Gravitational Wave Birefringence in generalized Palatini Chern Simons
gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

Palatini f(R)+Chern–Simons gravity predicts amplitude and velocity birefringence in GW propagation, with the effect controlled by f_R and, under de-Sitter approximations, growing polynomially with redshift.
