We present a model of Early Modified Gravity (EMG) consisting in a scalar field $sigma$ with a non-minimal coupling to the Ricci curvature of the type $M^2_{rm pl}+xi sigma^2$ plus a cosmological constant and a small effective mass and demonstrate its ability to alleviate the $H_0$ tension while providing a good fit to Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies and Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) data. In this model the scalar field, frozen deep in the radiation era, grows around the redshift of matter-radiation equality because of the coupling to non-relativistic matter. The small effective mass, which we consider here as induced by a quartic potential, then damps the scalar field into coherent oscillations around its minimum at $sigma=0$, leading to a weaker gravitational strength at early times and naturally recovering the consistency with laboratory and Solar System tests of gravity. We analyze the capability of EMG with positive $xi$ to fit current cosmological observations and compare our results to the case without an effective mass and to the popular early dark energy models with $xi=0$. We show that EMG with a quartic coupling of the order of $lambdasimmathcal{O}({rm eV}^4/M_{rm pl}^4)$ can substantially alleviate the $H_0$ tension also when the full shape of the matter power spectrum is included in the fit in addition to CMB and Supernovae (SN) data.
We show that the $H_0$ tension can be resolved by making recombination earlier, keeping the fit to cosmic microwave background (CMB) data almost intact. We provide a suite of general necessary conditions to give a good fit to CMB data while realizing
Although cosmic microwave background (CMB) is the most powerful cosmological probe of neutrino masses, it is in trouble with local direct measurements of $H_0$, which is called the $H_0$ tension. Since neutrino masses are correlated with $H_0$ in CMB
We investigate the $H_0$ tension in a range of extended model frameworks beyond the standard $Lambda$CDM without the data from cosmic microwave background (CMB). Specifically, we adopt the data from baryon acoustic oscillation, big bang nucleosynthes
We investigate the recently introduced metastable dark energy (DE) models after the final Planck 2018 legacy release. The essence of the present work is to analyze their evolution at the level of perturbations. Our analyses show that both the metasta
In this work, we obtain measurements of the Hubble constant in the context of modified gravity theories. We set up our theoretical framework by considering viable cosmological $f(R)$ and $f(T)$ models, and we analyzed them through the use of geometri
