Bouncing cosmologies are obtained by adding to the Einstein–Hilbert action a term of the form $$\sqrt{-\,g}f(\chi )$$ -gf(χ) , with $$\chi $$ χ a scalar depending on the Hubble parameter only, not on its derivatives, and which is here shown to arise from

Parity violating models based on the symmetric teleparallel gravity have been considered in the literature, but their applications in cosmology and especially the features in cosmological perturbations have not been fully explored.

Quantum vacuum energy in general relativity [PDF]
The paper deals with the scale discrepancy between the observed vacuum energy in cosmology and the theoretical quantum vacuum energy (cosmological constant problem).

The BRST invariant Lagrangian of the gravitationally interacting U(1)$U(1)$ gauge theory, namely the Quantum GraviElectro Dynamics (QGED). The Yan–Mills theory with the Hilbert–Einstein gravitational Lagrangian, namely the Yang–Mills–Utiyama (YMU) theory, is defined and quantised using the standard procedure. The theory is perturbatively renormalisable,

Logarithmic and Strong Coupling Models in Weyl‐Type f(Q,T)$f(Q,T)$ Gravity
This work explores Weyl‐type f(Q,T) gravity using recent observational datasets — CC, Pantheon+, Union 3.0, and DESI DR2. Through MCMC analysis of logarithmic and strong coupling models, the study reveals a transition from deceleration to acceleration, quintessence‐to‐phantom dynamics, and late‐time consistency with LCDM, offering a geometry‐driven ...

The DNA of Calabi–Yau Hypersurfaces
Abstract Genetic Algorithms are implemented for triangulations of four‐dimensional reflexive polytopes, which induce Calabi–Yau threefold hypersurfaces via Batyrev's construction. These algorithms are shown to efficiently optimize physical observables such as axion decay constants or axion–photon couplings in string theory compactifications.

Anomaly-induced effective action and Chern–Simons modification of general relativity
Recently it was shown that the quantum vacuum effects of massless chiral fermion field in curved space–time leads to the parity-violating Pontryagin density term, which appears in the trace anomaly with imaginary coefficient.

Phantasmic Encounters in the Arctic: Haunting Materialities Beyond the Ghosts of War
ABSTRACT In the vast north, ghostly experiences are common for locals and outsiders alike. Here, we explore how cultural‐natural attributes, like remoteness and extreme seasonal variation, compound experiences of the haunting in visceral ways. This provides the Arctic region with an unusually pronounced baseline of other‐than‐human agency, which in the

Classical and quantum cosmology of K-essentially modified $$R^2$$ and pure $$R^p$$ gravity [PDF]
We present a gravitational action with a modified higher order term of a combination of scalar curvature and Lagrangian density of a scalar field. This type of models has been considered first by Cruz-Dombriz et al.
