Abstract

The rising concern in the Hubble constant tension ( tension) of the cosmological models motivates the scientific community to search for alternative cosmological scenarios that could resolve the tension. In this regard, we aim to work on a torsion-based modified theory of gravity which is an alternative description to the coherence model. We solve numerically for the Hubble parameter using two exponential Lagrangian functions of torsion and a trace of energy-momentum tensor for the dust case. Further, we constrain the cosmological and model parameters; to do that, we use Hubble, SNe Ia, Baryon Acoustic Oscillations, Cosmic Microwave Background samples, and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation through Bayesian statistics. We obtain the values of Hubble constant for our model, and the outputs align with the recent observational measurements of . In addition, we check the deviation of our results from model-independent measurements of from Planck2018, SES, and LiCOW experiments. In contrast, our finding partially solved the tension but gave a new possible direction to alleviate the tension.
