The first observational evidence for the cosmic acceleration appeared from the type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) Hubble diagram from two different groups. However, the empirical treatment of SNe Ia and their ability to show cosmic acceleration have been the subject of some debate in the literature. In this work we probe the assumption of redshift-independent absolute magnitude $(M_{mathrm{B}})$ of SNe along with its correlation with spatial curvature ($Omega_{k0}$) and cosmic distance duality relation (CDDR) parameter ($eta(z)$). This work is divided into two parts. Firstly, we check the validity of CDDR which relates the luminosity distance ($d_L$) and angular diameter distance ($d_A$) via redshift. We use three different redshift-dependent parametrizations of the distance duality parameter $(eta(z))$. CDDR is fairly consistent for almost every parametrization within $95%$ confidence level in both flat and non-flat universe. However, one of the parametrizations does not validate CDDR in the case of a non-flat universe. In second part, we take the validity of CDDR for granted and emphasise on the variability of $M_{mathrm{B}}$ and its correlation with $Omega_{k0}$. We choose three different redshift-dependent parametrizations of $M_{mathrm{B}}$. The results indicate no evolution of $M_{mathrm{B}}$ at $99%$ confidence level but clearly indicates the inclination towards a non-flat open universe. We further extend our analysis and examine the dependence of the results on the choice of different priors for $H_0$.

The $Lambda$CDM model is the current standard model in cosmology thanks to its ability to reproduce the observations. Its first observational evidence appeared from the type Ia supernovae (SNIa) Hubble diagram. However, there has been some debate in the literature concerning the statistical treatment of SNIa. In this paper we relax the standard assumption that SNIa intrinsic luminosity is independent of the redshift, and we examine whether it may have an impact on the accelerated nature of the expansion of the Universe. In order to be as general as possible, we reconstruct the expansion rate of the Universe through a cubic spline interpolation fitting observations of different probes: SNIa, baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO), and the high-redshift information from the cosmic microwave background (CMB). We show that when SNIa intrinsic luminosity is not allowed to vary as a function of the redshift, cosmic acceleration is definitely proven in a model-independent approach. However, allowing for a redshift dependence, a non-accelerated reconstruction of the expansion rate is able to fit, as well as $Lambda$CDM, the combination of SNIa and BAO data, both treating the BAO standard ruler $r_d$ as a free parameter, or adding the recently published prior from CMB observations. We further extend the analysis by including the CMB data, and we show that a non-accelerated reconstruction is able to nicely fit this combination of low and high-redshift data. In this work we present a model-independent reconstruction of a non-accelerated expansion rate of the Universe that is able to nicely fit all the main background cosmological probes. However, the predicted value of $H_0$ is in tension with recent direct measurements. Our analysis points out that a final, reliable, and consensual value for $H_0$ would be critical to definitively prove the cosmic acceleration in a model-independent way. [Abridged]
Applying the distance sum rule in strong gravitational lensing (SGL) and type Ia supernova (SN Ia) observations, one can provide an interesting cosmological model-independent method to determine the cosmic curvature parameter $Omega_k$. In this paper , with the newly compiled data sets including 161 galactic-scale SGL systems and 1048 SN Ia data, we place constraints on $Omega_k$ within the framework of three types of lens models extensively used in SGL studies. Moreover, to investigate the effect of different mass lens samples on the results, we divide the SGL sample into three sub-samples based on the center velocity dispersion of intervening galaxies. In the singular isothermal sphere (SIS) and extended power-law lens models, a flat universe is supported with the uncertainty about 0.2, while a closed universe is preferred in the power-law lens model. We find that the choice of lens models and the classification of SGL data actually can influence the constraints on $Omega_k$ significantly.
A string of recent studies has debated the exact form and physical origin of an evolutionary trend between the peak luminosity of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and the properties of the galaxies that host them. We shed new light on the discussion by pr esenting an analysis of ~200 low-redshift SNe Ia in which we measure the separation of Hubble residuals (HR; as probes of luminosity) between two host-galaxy morphological types. We show that this separation can test the predictions made by recently proposed models, using an independently and empirically determined distribution of each morphological type in host-property space. Our results are partially consistent with the new HR--age slope, but we find significant scatter in the predictions from different galaxy catalogues. The inconsistency in age illuminates an issue in the current debate that was not obvious in the long-discussed mass models: HR--host-property models are strongly dependent on the methods employed to determine galaxy properties. While our results demonstrate the difficulty in constructing a universal model for age as a proxy for host environment, our results indeed identify evolutionary trends between mass, age, morphology, and HR values, encouraging (or requiring, if such trends are to be accounted for in cosmological studies) further investigation.
Much of the cosmological utility thus far extracted from Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) relies on the assumption that SN~Ia peak luminosities do not evolve significantly with the age (local or global) of their stellar environments. Two recent studies ha ve provided conflicting results in evaluating the validity of this assumption, with one finding no correlation between Hubble residuals (HR) and stellar environment age, while the other claims a significant correlation. In this Letter we perform an independent reanalysis that rectifies issues with the statistical methods employed by both of the aforementioned studies. Our analysis follows a principled approach that properly accounts for regression dilution and critically (and unlike both prior studies) utilises the Bayesian-model-produced SN environment age estimates (posterior samples) instead of point estimates. Moreover, the posterior is used as an informative prior in the regression. We find the Pearson correlation between the HR and local (global) age to be in excess of $4sigma$ ($3sigma$). Assuming there exists a linear relationship between HR and local (global) age, we find a corresponding slope of $-0.035 pm 0.007,mathrm{mag,Gyr}^{-1}$ ($-0.036 pm 0.007,mathrm{mag,Gyr}^{-1}$). We encourage further usage of our approach to examine possible cosmological implications of the HR and age correlation.
In this work, we propose a cosmological model-independent and non-local method to constrain the Hubble Constant $H_0$. Inspired by the quasi cosmological model-independent and $H_0$-free properties of the `shifted Hubble diagram of HII galaxies (HIIG x) defined by Wei et al. (2016), we joint analyze it with the parametric type Ia supernova (SN Ia) Hubble diagram (e.g. the joint-lightcurves-analysis sample, JLA) and get a Bayesian Inference of Hubble constant, $H_0 = 71 pm 20 mathrm{km s^{-1} Mpc^{-1}}$. Although with large uncertainty, we find that $H_0$ is only strongly degenerate with the B-band absolute magnitude ($M_B$) of SN Ia but almost independent on other nuisance parameters. Therefore the accuracy can be simultaneously improved by a tight constraint of $M_B$ through a cosmological and $H_0$ independent way. This method can be extended further to get more-literally non-local results of $H_0$ by using other Hubble diagrams at higher redshifts.
