description The concept of a rapidly sign-switching cosmological constant, interpreted as a mirror AdS-dS transition in the late universe and known as the <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi mathvariant="sans-serif">Λ</mi><mi mathvariant="normal">s</mi></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula>CDM, has significantly improved the fit to observational data, offering a promising framework for alleviating major cosmological tensions such as the <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi>H</mi><mn>0</mn></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula> and <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi>S</mi><mn>8</mn></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula> tensions. However, when considered within general relativity, this scenario does not predict any effects on the evolution of the matter density contrast beyond modifications to the background functions. In this work, we propose a new gravitational model in which the background dynamics predicted by the <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi mathvariant="sans-serif">Λ</mi><mi mathvariant="normal">s</mi></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula>CDM framework are mapped into <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>f</mi><mo>(</mo><mi>T</mi><mo>)</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> gravity, dubbed <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>f</mi><mrow><mo>(</mo><mi>T</mi><mo>)</mo></mrow><mtext>-</mtext><msub><mi mathvariant="sans-serif">Λ</mi><mi mathvariant="normal">s</mi></msub></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>CDM, rendering the models indistinguishable at the background level.
