abstract

Recent years have witnessed a rise in interest in the geometrical trinity of General Relativity and its extensions. This interest has been fuelled by novel insights into the nature of gravity, the possibility to address computational and conceptual questions -- such as the determination of black hole entropy or the definition of gravitational energy-momentum -- from a new perspective. In particular, $f(Q)$ gravity has also inspired numerous works on black holes, wormholes, and cosmology. In the latter case, $f(Q)$ models have the potential to elucidate phenomena in both early and late-time cosmology without necessitating the inclusion of dark energy, the inflaton field, or dark matter. Particularly noteworthy is the role of $f(Q)$ theories in addressing cosmological tensions, presenting exciting possibilities for reshaping our understanding of gravity and its manifestations in cosmology. The emergence of intriguing new black hole solutions and the potential existence of wormhole solutions suggest the presence of novel physics within the realm of strong gravity. These phenomena have become increasingly measurable only in recent times, opening up exciting avenues for further exploration and discovery. This review is tailored to students and researchers alike. It offers a self-contained and pedagogical introduction to metric-affine geometry--The mathematical foundation and indispensable tool upon which the geometrical trinity of General Relativity as well as its various extensions are built.

    For f(Q)=Q+αQ² and f(Q)=Q^β, neutron-star solutions that admit power-series expansions at the center or at infinity collapse to General Relativity; genuine beyond-GR effects must be non-analytic.

    gr-qc 2026-01 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.

    Two new logarithmic f(Q) gravity models fit current cosmological data and predict contrasting, testable deviations in the effective gravitational coupling and gravitational-wave damping.

    astro-ph.CO 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Two phenomenological dark matter creation rates can reproduce the accelerated expansion of the universe and fit current background data as well as or slightly better than LambdaCDM for some DESI-based data combinations.

  11. Revisiting Coincident GR in Internal STEGR Formulation

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.5 of 10

    In f(Q)=Q+ξQ² gravity with realistic EOSs, negative ξ increases neutron-star maximum masses while positive ξ decreases them, with exterior spacetime remaining Schwarzschild.

    astro-ph.CO 2025-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    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.

    gr-qc 2025-09 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    physics.gen-ph 2025-08 reject novelty 3.0 of 10

    Low-energy-density wormholes can be macroscopic in f(Q) gravity only because the free parameter α is chosen small, a result already present in the author's Ref [21].
