Exploring the Hubble tension with a late time Modified Gravity scenario

Autor: Escamilla, Luis A., Fiorucci, Donatella, Montani, Giovanni, Di Valentino, Eleonora

We investigate a modified cosmological model aimed at addressing the Hubble tension, considering revised dynamics in the late Universe. The model introduces a parameter $c$ affecting the evolution equations, motivated by a modified Poisson algebra in
