$f(R,T)$ models applied to Baryogenesis

This paper is devoted to the reproduction of the gravitational baryogenesis epoch in the context of $f(R, T)$ theory of gravity, where $R$ and $T$ are respectively the curvature scalar and the trace of the energy-momentum tensor, respectively. It is assumed a minimal coupling between matter and gravity. In particular we consider the following two models, $f(R,T) = R +αT + βT^2$ and $f(R,T) = R+ μR^2 + λT$, with the assumption that the universe is filled by dark energy and perfect fluid where the baryon to entropy ratio during a radiation domination era is non-zero. We constrain the models with the cosmological gravitational baryogenesis scenario, highlighting the appropriate values of model's parameters compatible with the observation data of the baryon-entropy ratio.

Late time cosmological approach in mimetic $f(R,T)$ gravity

In this paper, we investigate the late-time cosmic acceleration in mimetic $f(R,T)$ gravity with Lagrange multiplier and potential in a Universe containing, besides radiation and dark energy, a self-interacting (collisional) matter. We obtain through the modified Friedmann equations, the main equation that can describe the cosmological evolution and with several models from $Q(z)$ and the well known particular model $f(R, T)$, we perform an analysis of the late-time evolution. We examine the behavior of the Hubble parameter, the dark energy equation of state and the total effective equation of state and we compare in each case the resulting picture with the non-collisional matter (assumed as dust) and also with the collisional matter in mimetic $f(R, T)$ gravity. The results obtained are in good agreement with the observational data and show that in presence of the collisional matter the dark energy oscillations in mimetic f(R, T) gravity can be damped.

Exploring stable models in $f(R; T; R_{μν} T^{μν})$ gravity

We examine in this paper the stability analysis in $f(R; T; R_{μν}T^{μν})$ modified gravity, where $R$ and $T$ are the Ricci scalar and the trace of the energy-momentum tensor, respectively. By considering the flat Friedmann universe, we obtain the corresponding generalized Friedmann equations and we evaluate the geometrical and matter perturbation functions. The stability is developed using the de Sitter and power-law solutions. We search for application the stability of two particular cases of $f(R; T; R_{μν}T^{μν})$ model by solving numerically the perturbation functions obtained.

Viscous Generalized Chaplygin Gas Interacting with f(R,T) gravity

In this paper, we study in Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe the interaction between the viscous generalized Chaplygin gas with $f(R,T)$ gravity, which is an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar $R$ and the trace $T$ of the energy-momentum tensor. Assuming that the contents of universe is dominated by a generalized Chaplygin gas and dark energy, we obtained the modified Friedmann equations and also the time dependent energy density and pressure of dark energy due to the shear and bulk viscosities for three interacting models depending on an input parameter $Q$. Within the simple form of scale factor (power-law), we discuss the graphical representation of dark energy density parameter and investigate the shear and bulk viscosities effects on the accelerating expansion of the universe for each interacting model.

Cosmological Evolution in f(R,T) theory with Collisional Matter

We study the evolution of the cosmological parameters, namely, the deceleration parameter $q(z)$ and the parameter of effective equation of state in a universe contains, besides the ordinary matter and dark energy, a self-interacting (collisional matter), in the generalized $f(R,T)$ theory of gravity, where $R$ and $T$ are the curvature scalar and the trace of the energy-momentum tensor, respectively. We use the generalized FRW equations the equation of continuity and obtain a differential equation of second order in $H(z)$, and solve it numerically for studying the evolution of the cosmological parameters. Two $f(R,T)$ models are considered and the results with collisional matter are compared with the ones of the $Λ$CDM model, and also with the model where there exists only non-collisional matter. The curves show that the models are acceptable because the values found for $w_{eff}$ are consistent with the observational data.

Geodesic Deviation Equation in $f (R,T)$ Gravity

In this paper, we investigate the modified Geodesic Deviation Equation (GDE) in the framework of $f(R,T)$ theory of gravity where $R$ and $T$ are the curvature scalar and the trace of the energy-momentum tensor, respectively, using the FLRW background. In this way, we obtain the GR equivalent (GDE) in $f(R,T)$ metric formalism. We also extend our work to the generalization of the Matting relation and perform the numerical analysis with GDE for null vector.

Cosmological viable f(R,T) dark energy model: dynamics and stability

In this paper we undertake the modified theory of gravity f(R,T) where R and T are the Ricci scalar and the trace of the energy momentum tensor, respectively. Imposing the conservation of the energy momentum tensor, we obtain a model about what dynamics and stability are studied. The stability is developed using the de Sitter and power-law solutions. The results show that the model presents stability for both the de Sitter and power-law solutions. Regarding the dynamics, cosmological solutions are obtained by integrating the background equations for both the low-redshift and High-redshift regimes and are consistent with the observational data.
