Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

We explore dark matter phenomenology in Myrzakulov F ( R , T ) gravity, formulated via the vielbein approach in Weitzenböck spacetime. In this torsion-based extension of gravity, dark matter emerges as a geometric effect rather than a particle species, with curvature and torsion contributing dynamically to the field equations. Using recent data—including SPARC galaxy rotation curves, Planck CMB observations, and weak lensing from DES and KiDS—we constrain the model through MCMC analysis. Our results show that, under specific parameter choices, the theory replicates key cosmological features without introducing additional dark sector matter. This framework offers a testable alternative to ΛCDM, providing new insight into structure formation, gravitational lensing, and cosmic acceleration—all rooted in the geometry of spacetime.
