Cosmological constraints on dark energy in $f(Q)$ gravity: A parametrized perspective (2307.00281v1)

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 $f(Q)=\beta Q^{\left( m+1\right) }$ (where $\beta$ 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 $q_{0}=-0.50^{+0.01}_{-0.01}$, 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.
