Cosmological study of a symmetric teleparallel gravity model

Abstract

We study a symmetric teleparallel gravity with a Lagrangian of logarithmic form. The full model leads to an accelerated universe and for specific values of the free parameters the Hubble rate reduces to the well-known Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati model, though the evolution of the gravitational potentials are different. We consider different branches of the logarithmic model, among which are self-accelerated branch and normal branch. The phenomenology of both the background and linear perturbations is discussed, including all the relevant effects on cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) angular power spectrum, lensing and matter power spectra. To this purpose, we modified the Einstein-Boltzmann code mgcamb. Finally, we derive bounds on the free parameters which are in agreement with early dark energy constraint from CMB and big bang nucleosynthesis constraint on the helium abundance.
