Cosmological constraints on dark energy in [formula omitted] gravity: A parametrized perspective

Abstract

In this paper, we focus on the parametrization of the effective equation of state (EoS) parameter within the framework of f(Q) symmetric teleparallel gravity. Here, the gravitational action is represented by an arbitrary function of the non-metricity scalar Q. By utilizing a specific parametrization of the effective EoS parameter and a power-law model of f(Q) theory, namely f(Q)=βQm+1 (where β and m are arbitrary constants), we derive the cosmological solution of the Hubble parameter H(z). To constrain model parameters, we employ recent observational data, including the Observational Hubble parameter Data (OHD), Baryon Acoustic Oscillations data (BAO), and Type Ia supernovae data (SNe Ia). The current constrained value of the deceleration parameter is found to be q0=−0.50−0.01+0.01, indicating that the current Universe is accelerating. Furthermore, we examine the evolution of the density, EoS, and Om(z) diagnostic parameters to deduce the accelerating nature of the Universe. Finally, we perform a stability analysis with linear perturbations to confirm the model’s stability.
