$H_0$ Tension in Torsion-based Modified Gravity (2301.06328v4)

Abstract: The rising concern in the Hubble constant tension ($H_0$ tension) of the cosmological models motivates the scientific community to search for alternative cosmological scenarios that could resolve the $H_0$ tension. In this regard, we aim to work on a torsion-based modified theory of gravity which is an alternative description to the coherence model. We solve numerically for the Hubble parameter using two exponential Lagrangian functions of torsion $T$ and a trace of energy-momentum tensor $\mathcal{T}$ for the dust case. Further, we constrain the cosmological and model parameters; to do that, we use Hubble, SNe Ia, Baryon Acoustic Oscillations, Cosmic Microwave Background samples, and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation through Bayesian statistics. We obtain the values of Hubble constant $H_0$ for our model, and the outputs align with the recent observational measurements of $H_0$. In addition, we check the deviation of our results from model-independent measurements of $H_0$ from Planck2018, S$H_0$ES, and $H_0$LiCOW experiments. In contrast, our finding partially solved the $H_0$ tension but gave a new possible direction to alleviate the $H_0$ tension.
