f(Q) gravity in the late universe

Abstract

The Hubble constant is an important constant that refers to the rate at which the universe is expanding at present times. This fuller Hubble parameter helps determine the age of the Universe and its evolution. However, when the Hubble constant is measured using different methods, namely the method of using the data of the early and late universe together with the ΛCDM model, there is a statistical tension. This indicates that a better model should be adopted to calculate the Hubble constant. By using f(Q) gravity as the different model of gravity which uses symmetric teleparallel geometry, H0 was calculated from 4 different models. Subsequently, these 4 different values were compared.
