DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Cláudio GOMES ()\nWe constrain the viable models of
  Horndeski gravity after the GWs events by resorting to the Witten positiv
 e energy theorem. We find that the free function G3(ϕ\,X) in the Lagrangi
 an is con- strained to be a function solely of the scalar field\, G3(ϕ). 
 In addition\,relations among the free functions are found. Other criteria 
 for stability are also analysed\, such as the attractiveness of gravity\, 
 and the Dolgov-Kawasacki instability. Some applications for cosmology are 
 discussed.\n\nhttps://indico.unina.it/event/70/contributions/1000/

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Ozgur AKARSU ()\nIn this talk\, inspired by the rece
 nt conjecture originated from graduated dark energy (gDE) that the univers
 e has transitioned from anti-de Sitter vacua to de Sitter vacua in the lat
 e universe\, we will discuss the superior features of the $\\Lambda_{\\rm 
 s}$CDM model\, which extends the standard $\\Lambda$CDM model by a cosmolo
 gical constant ($\\Lambda_{\\rm s}$) that switches sign at a certain redsh
 ift $z_\\dagger$\, over the standard $\\Lambda$CDM model in the light of o
 bservational data. We will first discuss that\, when the consistency of $\
 \Lambda_{\\rm s}$CDM with the CMB data is ensured\, $H_0$ and $M_B$ values
  are inversely correlated with $z_\\dagger$ and reach $H_0\\approx73.4~{\\
 rm km\\\, s^{-1}\\\, Mpc^{-1}}$ and $M_B\\approx-19.25\\\,{\\rm mag}$ for 
 $z_\\dagger=1.6$\, in agreement with the SH0ES measurements\, and $H(z)$ e
 xhibits an excellent fit to the Ly-$\\alpha$ data. We will then show that 
 the CMB alone is not able to well constrain $z_\\dagger$ and thus discrimi
 nate between $\\Lambda_{\\rm s}$CDM and $\\Lambda$CDM models\, but the CMB
 +BAO data set favors the sign switch of $\\Lambda_{\\rm s}$ providing the 
 constraint: $z_\\dagger=2.44\\pm0.29$. The further observational analysis 
 using more data sets reveals that $\\Lambda_{\\rm s}$CDM is significantly 
 favored over $\\Lambda$CDM\, and it resolves various tensions that prevail
  within $\\Lambda$CDM\; for instance\, the CMB+Pan data set with $M_B$ pri
 or gives $z_\\dagger=1.784^{+0.14}_{-0.18}$ along with $H_0\\approx72.38^{
 +0.98}_{-1.10}~{\\rm km\\\, s^{-1}\\\, Mpc^{-1}}$\, $S_8=0.785\\pm0.012$\,
  and $M_B=-19.290^{+0.026}_{-0.029}$\, all of which are consistent with th
 eir local measurements\, and moreover that the physical baryon density val
 ue\, $\\omega_b$\, better agrees with the BBN constraints on it and $H(z)$
  exhibits excellent fit to the Ly-$\\alpha$ data. While using the CMB+Pan+
 Ly-$\\alpha$ data set provides us with the similar constrains\, inclusion 
 of the low-redshift BAO data\, i.e.\, using CMB+Pan+BAO data set\, leads t
 o some compromise in these improvements. We will close the talk with a dis
 cussion on some other observational aspects and theoretical implications o
 f the $\\Lambda_{\\rm s}$CDM model. This talk is based on the works ``Grad

  though these parametric forms usually provide a better fit to the data\, 
 they have the limitation of assuming an a priori functional form which may

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Maria Giovanna DAINOTTI ()\n"Cosmological models and
  their corresponding parameters are widely debated because of the current 
 discrepancy \nbetween the results of the Hubble constant\, H0\, obtained b
 y SNe Ia\, and the Planck data from the cosmic microwave\n background radi
 ation. Thus\, considering high redshift probes like gamma-ray bursts (GRBs
 ) is a necessary step. \nHowever\, using GRB correlations between their ph
 ysical features to infer cosmological parameters is difficult \nbecause GR
 B luminosities span several orders of magnitude. In our work\, we use a th
 ree-dimensional relation \nbetween the peak prompt luminosity\, the rest-f
 rame time at the end of the X-ray plateau\, \nand its corresponding lumino
 sity in X-rays: the so-called 3D Dainotti fundamental plane relation. \nWe
  correct this relation by considering the selection and evolutionary effec
 ts with a reliable statistical method\,\nobtaining a lower central value f
 or the intrinsic scatter\, σint = 0.18 ± 0.07 (47.1 per cent) compared \
 nto previous results\, when we adopt a particular set of GRBs with well-de
 fined morphological features\, \ncalled the platinum sample. We have used 
 the GRB fundamental plane relation alone with both Gaussian \nand uniform 
 priors on cosmological parameters and in combination with SNe Ia and BAO m
 easurements \nto infer cosmological parameters like H0\, the matter densit
 y in the universe (ΩM)\, and the dark energy \nparameter w for a wCDM mod
 el. Our results are consistent with the parameters given by the Lambda col
 d dark \nmatter model but with the advantage of using cosmological probes 
 detected up to z = 5\, much larger than \nthe one observed for the furthes
 t SNe Ia. We also show how many GRBs we would need to have \nif we aim to 
 achieve the precision of SNe Ia as reached by the Pantheon sample \nby int
 roducing a new GRB fundamental plane in optical wavelength."\n\nhttps://in

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Radoslaw WOJTAK ()\nI will start my talk with a brie
 f critical review of cosmological proposals put forward as potential so- l
 utions to the Hubble constant tension. I will argue that the lack of decis
 ive observational evidence supporting any of the current models should mot
 ivate our community to reassess the risk-to-gain ratio of this line of res
 earch and perhaps restore a balance between the efforts put in testing a w
 ide range of possible testing systematic effects in the measurements of th
 e Hubble constant and ad hoc modifications of the standard cosmological mo
 del. In the second part of my talk\, I will discuss a new reanalyses of Ce
 pheid and type Ia supernova data used in the local determination of the Hu
 bble constant. I will show the evidence of a discrepancy between the colou
 r correction of supernovae in the calibration sample and the Hubble flow. 
 This discrepancy is currently an intrinsic tension in the local determinat
 ion of the Hubble constant and a source of unaccounted systematic errors. 
 I will show that applying supernova standardisation which accounts for thi
 s anomaly by resolving two different observationally and theoretically mot
 ivated supernova popu- lations related to two progenitor channels and dust
  extinction in their environments\, yields the Hubble constant which is co
 nsistent with the Planck value. The new standardisation method is based on
  a novel Bayesian hierarchical model of type Ia supernovae which explains 
 completely the Hubble residuals arising from the standard method of supern
 ova standardisation in terms of extinction and intrinsic properties of sup
 ernovae originating from two observationally motivated populations (fast/s
 low decliners correlated with old/young stellar populations). I will give 
 a brief overview of this model\, the current constraints and the perspecti
 ves of using it in cosmological analyses of type Ia supernovae.\n\nhttps:/

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Clecio BOM ()\nThe detection of gravitational Waves 
 (GW) has opened a new window for cosmology. The cur- rent tension between 
 the measurement of the Hubble constant H0 from Cosmic Microwave Back- grou
 nd and Supernova analyses makes an independent\, standard siren measuremen
 t of H0 from gravitational waves particularly interesting. However\, up to
  date the astronomical community has confidently identified only one optic
 al counterpart to a GW event\, a neutron star merger\, GW170817. In the ca
 ses where no counterpart is identified/expected such as Binary Black Hole 
 (BBHs) events\, it is possible to use a statistical approach\, also known 
 as the “dark siren” method\, to produce individually weaker constraint
 s. This method provides a less precise cosmological con- straint on an eve
 nt-to-event basis\, due to the typically large number of galaxies over whi
 ch one needs to marginalize. Current constraints suggest that from ˜20% t
 o 80% of LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA BBHs are associated with Active Galactic Nuclei 
 (AGN) disks. The claim for a possible association of the BBH merger GW1905
 21 with a flare in the AGN J124942.3+344929\, alongside to the several pro
 posed models and mechanisms to make a viable EM counterpart from BBHs in a
 ccretion disks suggested this might be a promising endeavor. Therefore\, w
 e explore the possibility of Standard Sirens in association with AGN hosts
  and AGN flares\, through an hybrid method between bright and dark sirens.
  We simulate GW events from future LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA runs and derive the ex
 pected constraints in H0\, Ωm\, and dark energy equation of state parame
 ter w. Depending on the fraction of AGN hosts and BBHs capable of flare we
  might obtain H0 from from ˜ 10% (pes- simistic) to ˜ 3% (optimistic) le
 vel in the next few years. We also show that the method could be applied t
 o all possible AGNs hosts not requiring a flare in the GW localization are
 a to prospect the cosmological constraints.\n\nhttps://indico.unina.it/eve

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Francesco PACE ()\n"When N-body simulations deal wit
 h dark energy\, they consider its effect only at the background level\, mo
 difying the Hubble expansion. A notable exception is the K-evolution code 
 which simulates k-essence models with a low sound-speed using the effectiv
 e field theory approach at the non-linear level. It has been demonstrated 
 that this leads to divergences. Hence\, a few authors recently proposed to
  investigate this issue by developing a code which can simulate a dark ene
 rgy fluid in a way analogous to what normally done with dark matter and ba
 ryons modifying the Euler equation taking into account pressure contributi
 ons.\nIn this talk I will explore the effects of this additional term in t
 he formalism of the spherical collapse model and show how the evolution of
  perturbations compare to the standard equations and how the halo mass fun
 ction is modified. A modification in the evolution of perturbations\, also
  taking into account dark energy perturbations\, will lead to a different 
 normalization of the matter power spectrum\, sigma8. This quantity can be 
 further constrained with observed measurements of the halo mass function a

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Vitor DA FONSECA ()\nWe propose a cosmological model
  that predicts the variation of the fine structure constant α with redshi
 ft\, where the electromagnetic sector couples to the kinetics of a canonic
 al scalar field ϕ. This is a generalization of the usual linear dependenc
 e of the interaction term on ϕ. This theory can be seen as a disformal co
 upling with radiation\, where the conformal factor depends on the kinetic 
 term of the scalar source. We have studied the phenomenology of the model 
 by particularizing the scalar field as the quintessence component driving 
 the current acceleration. We found the remarkable feature that the evoluti
 on of α follows the Hubble flow\, slowing down at late times during dark 
 energy dominance. We have constrained the free parameters with measurement
 s of BBN\, Planck\, quasar absorption spectra\, atomic clocks\, and tests 
 of the weak equivalence principle. The variation of the recombination reds
 hift leads to a geometric degeneracy between $\\alpha$ and $H_0$\, which c
 an tackle the Hubble tension.\n\nhttps://indico.unina.it/event/70/contribu

 systematic errors arising from cross-talk between redshift bins of galaxie

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Tiberiu HARKO ()\nWe investigate the dark energy in 
 the Weyl geometric gravity\, which is based on the introduction of a Weyl 
 connection to describe the gravitational properties of the space-time. We 
 consider the case in which the Lagrangian is given by the sum of the squar
 e of the Weyl scalar\, of the strength of the field associated to the Weyl
  vector\, and a conformally invariant geometry-matter coupling term\, cons
 tructed from the matter Lagrangian and the Weyl scalar. The action is line
 arized in the Ricci scalar by introducing an auxiliary scalar field. After
  substituting the Weyl scalar in terms of its Riemannian counterpart\, the
  quadratic Wedyl action is defined in Riemann geometry\, and involves a no
 nminimal coupling between geometry and matter. The field equations are obt
 ained by varying the action with respect to the metric\, the scalar field\
 , and the Weyl vector. The cosmological implications of the Weyl geometric
  gravity field equations are investigated for different forms of the Weyl 
 vector-matter Lagrangian coupling functions. From the generalized Friedman
 n equations of the model\, obtained by assuming that the background Rieman
 nian metric is of the Friedmann- Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker type\, an effec
 tive geometric dark energy component can be generated\, with the effective
 \, geometric type pressure. A comparison with the standard ΛCDM model is 
 also performed\, and we find that the Weyl geometric gravity type cosmolog
 ical models can give an acceptable description of the cosmological observa
 tions.\n\nhttps://indico.unina.it/event/70/contributions/981/

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Elsa TEIXEIRA ()\nReconciling the standard model’s
  theoretical predictions with precision measurements from mul- tiple probe
 s stands as one of the most pressing challenges of modern cosmology. Durin
 g the last decade\, increasing evidence for persistent discrepancies in th
 e value of cosmological param- eters when inferred from model-dependent an
 d -independent probes opened the door for a new paradigm. In this talk\, I
  will address whether (part of) the cosmological tensions can be attribute
 d to missing physics in the standard model. In particular I will focus on 
 tests of different models with interactions between dark energy and dark m
 atter.\n\nhttps://indico.unina.it/event/70/contributions/980/

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Adrià GÓMEZ-VALENT ()\nMonte Carlo (MC) algorithms
  are commonly employed to explore high-dimensional parameter spaces constr
 ained by data. All the statistical information obtained in the output of t
 hese analyses is contained in the Markov chains\, which one needs to proce
 ss and interpret. The marginaliza- tion technique allows us to digest thes
 e chains and compute the posterior distributions for the parameter subsets
  of interest. In particular\, it lets us draw confidence regions in two-di
 mensional planes\, and get the constraints for the individual parameters. 
 It is very well known\, though\, that the marginalized results can suffer 
 from volume effects\, which can introduce a non-negligible bias into our c
 onclusions. The impact of these effects are barely studied in the literatu
 re. In this talk I first illustrate the problem through a very clear and s
 imple example in two dimensions\, and sug- gest the use of the profile dis
 tributions (PDs) as a complementary tool to detect marginalization biases 
 directly from the MC chains. I apply this method to four cosmological mode
 ls: the standard ΛCDM\, early dark energy\, coupled dark energy and the B
 rans-Dicke model with a cosmological constant. I discuss the impact of the
  volume effects on each model and the cosmological tensions\, using the fu
 ll Planck 2018 likelihood\, the Pantheon compilation of supernovae of type
  Ia and data on baryon acoustic oscillations. This test is very efficient 
 and can be easily applied to any MC study. It allows us to estimate the PD
 s at a derisory computational cost not only for the main cosmological para
 meters\, but also for the nuisance and derived ones\, and to assess the ne
 ed to perform a more in-depth analysis with the exact computation of the P
 Ds. This talk is based on Phys.Rev.D 106 (2022) 6\, 063506 [arXiv:2203.162

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Javier DE CRUZ PÉREZ ()\nWe study the performance o
 f three pairs of tilted ΛCDM cosmological models\, two pairs allowing for
  non-flat spatial hypersurfaces with CMB temperature and polarization powe
 r spectrum data (P18) from Planck\, P18 lensing (lensing)\, and non-CMB da
 ta (non-CMB). For the six models\, we measure cosmological parameters and 
 study whether or not pairs of the data sets are mutually consistent in the
 se models. Half of these models allow the lensing consistency parameter AL
  to be an additional free parameter\, while the other three have AL=1. In 
 the tilted non-flat models with AL=1 we find differences between P18 data 
 and non-CMB data cosmological parameter constraints. While both P18 data a
 nd non-CMB data separately favor a closed geometry when P18+non-CMB data a
 re jointly analyzed the evidence in favor of non-flat hypersurfaces subsid
 es. Differences between P18 data and non-CMB data cosmological constraints
  subside when AL is allowed to vary. From the most restrictive P18+lensing
 +non-CMB data combination we get almost model- independent constraints and
  find that the AL>1 option is preferred over the Ωk<0 one\, with the AL 
 parameter\, for all models\, being larger than unity by ∼ 2.5σ. Accordi
 ng to the deviance information criterion\, in the P18+lensing+non-CMB anal
 ysis\, the varying AL option is on the verge of being strongly favored ove
 r the AL=1 one\, which could indicate a problem for the standard tilted fl
 at ΛCDM model\n\nhttps://indico.unina.it/event/70/contributions/974/

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Benjamin GIBLIN ()\nWeak lensing cosmology stands at
  a crossroads\, with cosmological tensions between cosmic shear experiment
 s and those from Planck’s analysis of the CMB hinting at either undiscov
 ered physics or unaccounted-for systematics. In response to this mystery\,
  we present a new weak lensing statis- tic capable of vastly enhancing cos
 mological inference. The “lensing PDF” - or the distribution of projec
 ted structures in various density bins - directly probes non-Gaussianities
  in large-scale structure\, extracting extra cosmological information beyo
 nd the reach of two-point statistics con- ventionally employed in this fie
 ld. Using numerical simulations tailored to match upcoming data from LSST\
 , I demonstrate that lensing PDFs outperform standard lensing probes by >9
 0% in con- straining the matter energy density and amplitude of the matter
  power spectrum. This approach consequently presents a promising means to 
 shed light on the observed cosmological discordance.\n\nhttps://indico.uni

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Leandros PERIVOLAROPOULOS ()\nThe standard analysis 
 of the Pantheon+ and SH0ES SnIa samples assumes that the SnIa absolute mag
 nitude parameter M can be standardized to a single and isotropic value. If
  these assumptions are withdrawn and in particular if a transition of M is
  allowed at some distance scale from M_< at low distances to M_> at high d
 istances then the quality of fit to the Pantheon+ data improves significan
 tly and the two best fit values M_ are at about 2-3\\sigma tension with ea
 ch other. The origin of this effect is a combination of the uncorrected vo
 lumetric redshift bias systematic and a mild transition signal of the intr
 insic SnIa luminosity at a distance of about 20Mpc. The implications of th
 is inhomogeneity for the Hubble tension and the best fit values of cosmolo
 gical parameters will be discussed. The isotropy of the SnIa absolute magn
 itude parameter and its dependence on distance bins will also be discussed
  using the hemisphere comparison method.\n\nhttps://indico.unina.it/event/

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Elena TOMASETTI ()\nIn the era of precision cosmolog
 y\, exploring new and complementary approaches to measure the expansion hi
 story of the Universe is crucial to increase the accuracy in the measureme
 nts and keep systematic effects under control. A novel approach that provi
 des cosmology-independent constraints on the Hubble parameter is based on 
 the analysis of the differential age evolution of massive and passively ev
 olving galaxies as “cosmic chronometers” (CC).\nIn this talk\, I will 
 present a new measurement of H(z) at z~1.26 obtained from the analysis of 
 a sam- ple of CC extracted from the survey VANDELS. In our work\, we explo
 re the feasibility of deriving accurate and robust differential ages from 
 full-spectrum fitting in the range 1 < z < 1.5\, derive the physical prope
 rties of the population\, study in details the associated systematic uncer
 tainties\, and propagate those to the total error budget. These data are u
 sed both to derive a new measurement of the Hubble constant H0 (assuming a
  cosmological model) and to derive a cosmology independent estimate of the
  Hubble parameter at z∼1.26. I will conclude discussing how this measure
 ment can contribute to shed some light on the H0 tension\, and the potenti
 al of this method.\n\nhttps://indico.unina.it/event/70/contributions/963/

 ew data in the CF4 has resulted in an increase in the estimate of the bulk

 . This bulk flow has less than a 0.03% chance of occurring in the Standard
  Cosmological Model (ΛCDM) with cosmic microwave background derived param

  CF4 to accurately estimate the bulk flow on scales of 200h−1Mpc (equiva
 lent to 266 Mpc for Hubble constant Ho = 75 km/s/Mpc) for the first time. 
 This bulk flow is in even greater tension with the Standard Model\, having
