Testing Schouten--Codazzi Gravity: Cosmological Constraints and Deviations from CDM

Andoni Fontanet, Andrea Valencia, Shahnawaz A. Adil +4

Schouten--Codazzi gravity (SCG) admits a cosmological background that extends flat CDM by one integration constant, . Its contribution to the Friedmann equation scales as $…

Reconstructing sign-switching dark energy histories: Scalar-field regularity, conditional potential comparison, and representative dynamics

Shahnawaz A. Adil, Özgür Akarsu, Mariam Bouhmadi-López +3

Phenomenologically similar sign-switching dark-energy histories need not have comparable scalar-field realizations. We reconstruct minimally coupled scalars with fixed kinetic sign…

Dissipative Cosmology and the Nature of Dark Energy: Insights from Bulk Viscosity with DESI DR2 observations

Shahnawaz A. Adil, Sonej Alam, Somasri Sen +1

We explore a cosmological model in which dark energy is described by a bulk viscous fluid, providing a dissipative mechanism for late-time cosmic acceleration. Considering both min…

Background-level reconstruction of scalar-field potentials from dark-energy histories and comparison with analytic potential families

Shahnawaz A. Adil, Miguel A. Zapata, Özgür Akarsu +1

We present a unified \emph{background-level} framework that maps a prescribed late-time dark-energy density history onto an effective scalar-field description in a…

How Holographic is the Dark Energy? A Spline Nodal reconstruction approach

Miguel A. Zapata, Gabriela Garcia-Arroyo, Shahnawaz A. Adil +1

In this work, we explore the generalized holographic dark energy (HDE) scenario. We relate the HDE density to the future-horizon scale via a non-parametric function, which is recon…
