  • Publication Date: May 2025

  • DOI: 10.1016/j.dark.2025.101861

  • Authors: Miguel Barroso Varela, Orfeu Bertolami

  • Summary: This paper investigates whether current cosmological data supports theories where matter and gravity interact via a nonminimal coupling. The authors compare observational data (e.g., from Pantheon+, DES, DESI, and eBOSS) with predictions from these alternative models and find stronger statistical evidence for nonminimal coupling over standard ΛCDM in several dataset combinations.
