A new parametric study of $f(T)$ teleparallel gravity with generalized Chaplygin gas: Confronting observational data

In this paper, we investigate the cosmological dynamics of a modified gravity framework based on the function $f(T)=β(-T)^{1/2}+γ(-T)$, where $T$ denotes the torsion scalar. The matter sector is modeled using the Generalized Chaplygin Gas (GCG) with the equation of state $p=-\frac{\mathcal{A}}{ρ^η}$, allowing the model to describe the evolution from an early-time matter-like phase to a late-time accelerated universe. By deriving an analytical expression for the Hubble parameter $H(z)$, we perform parameter estimation using Bayesian statistical techniques based on the $χ^{2}$-minimization method with the Cosmic Chronometer (CC) and joint (CC+Pantheon) observational datasets. The deceleration parameter exhibits a transition from deceleration to acceleration, while the present-day value indicates the current accelerated expansion. The model yields a present-day EoS parameter consistent with dark-energy-like behavior, while the energy conditions indicate that the NEC and DEC are satisfied and the SEC is violated at late times. The $ω-ω'$ plane shows a freezing quintessence behavior, approaching the $Λ$CDM-like point $(ω,ω')=(-1,0)$, while the cosmographic analysis offers additional insight into the evolution of the cosmic expansion. The estimated age of the universe is also consistent with current observational bounds. These results demonstrate that the GCG scenario within $f(T)$ teleparallel gravity provides a viable and observationally consistent framework for explaining the late-time accelerated expansion of the universe.

Probing cosmic dynamics in $f(T)$ teleparallel gravity: Constraints from logarithmic and log-periodic deceleration ansatzes

In this study, we probe the cosmological evolution of the universe within the framework of modified teleparallel gravity by considering a power-law form of the function $f(T)=α(-T)^{n}$. To characterize the expansion dynamics, we employ logarithmic and log-periodic parametrizations of the deceleration parameter. These specific parametrizations provide a flexible and well-structured description of the cosmic expansion history across different cosmological epochs. The corresponding Hubble parameter is obtained as a function of redshift, facilitating a systematic investigation of the background dynamics. The model parameters are constrained using cosmic chronometer (CC) and joint (CC+Pantheon) datasets through a Bayesian analysis based on the $χ^{2}$-minimization approach. The evolution of key cosmological quantities, including the deceleration parameter, energy density, pressure, equation of state parameter and energy conditions, is examined in detail. The geometrical diagnostics indicate a clear departure from the standard cosmological constant behavior, pointing toward a dynamically evolving dark energy scenario. Further, the proposed models remain thermodynamically consistent and the estimated age of the universe is found to be compatible with observational constraints, thereby reinforcing the robustness and viability of the framework.

Reconstructing the cosmic expansion in $f(R, L_{m})$ gravity via parametrized Hubble function constraints

We probe the cosmic expansion scenario within the framework of $f(R, L_{m})$ gravity by employing a well-motivated functional form of $f(R, L_{m}) = \frac{R}{2} + L_{m}^λ$. Specifically, we introduce three novel cosmological models formulated in terms of the redshift-dependent Hubble parameter $H(z)$, offering deeper insights into the underlying cosmic dynamics. The models are further utilized to investigate the expansion history of the universe and the evolution of several cosmological parameters. By using the Bayesian methods based on the $χ^{2}$-minimization technique, the median values of the model parameters are determined for the cosmic chronometer (CC) and joint (CC+Pantheon) datasets. A comprehensive study of the deceleration parameter, energy density, pressure and the equation of state parameter is carried out to understand the universe's evolution. Additionally, the validity of the energy conditions and the behavior of the statefinder diagnostic are thoroughly examined. Finally, the thermodynamic viability of the models is confirmed through the evolution of temperature and entropy density, and the estimated age of the universe further exemplifies good agreement with late-time astronomical observations.

Transiently accelerating cosmological model with Gong-Zhang parametrization in $f(T)$ teleparallel gravity

We present the cosmic expansion scenario in the framework of $f(T)$ gravity by employing a dark energy equation of state (EoS) parameter. Specifically, we proceed with the power-law form of the function $f(T) = α$$(-T)^{n}$, in conjunction with the Gong-Zhang parametrization of the dark energy EoS. We derive the expansion rate in terms of the redshift for the considered model, providing deeper insights into the underlying cosmic dynamics. The model is further utilized to explore the expansion history of the universe and the evolution of several cosmological parameters. By using the Bayesian methods based on the $χ^{2}$-minimization technique, the median values of the model parameters are determined for the cosmic chronometer (CC) and joint (CC+Pantheon) datasets. The evolution of the deceleration parameter, energy density, pressure, EoS parameter and the energy conditions for dark energy is analyzed in detail. The model captures the observed acceleration as a transient phenomenon, followed by future deceleration. Additionally, the nature of both geometrical and dynamical diagnostics robustly indicates a quintessence-like behavior at the present epoch. Finally, the thermodynamic viability of the model is confirmed through the generalized second law of thermodynamics and the estimated age of the universe further supports the model's compatibility with astronomical observations.

Revisiting $f(T)$ Teleparallel Gravity with a Parametrized Hubble Parameter and Observational Constraints

In this paper, the dynamical behavior of the accelerated expansion of the universe is studied within the framework of $f(T)$ gravity by considering a well-motivated functional form of $f(T)$. A specific form of the Hubble parameter is assumed, which under two different cases, leads to two distinct cosmological models expressed in terms of the redshift parameter $H(z)$, providing insights into cosmic dynamics. These models are employed to explore the expansion history of the universe and the evolution of several cosmological parameters. Using Bayesian statistical techniques based on the $χ^{2}$-minimization method, the median values of the model parameters are determined for both the cosmic chronometer (CC) and the joint (CC + Pantheon) datasets. The evolution of the deceleration parameter, energy density, pressure and the equation of state parameter for dark energy is analyzed. Additionally, the validity of the energy conditions and the nature of the statefinder diagnostic are examined. The present age of the universe is also estimated for the proposed models.

Dynamical constraints on variable vacuum energy in Brans-Dicke theory

In this research work, we investigate the late-time accelerated expansion of the universe within the framework of Brans-Dicke theory by considering dynamical vacuum energy models with a time-varying cosmological constant. Two vacuum energy models are studied, namely the hybrid vacuum law $Λ(t)=αH^{2}+β\dot{H}$ and the power vacuum law $Λ(H)=α_{1}H^{n}$, where $α$, $β$, $α_{1}$ and $n$ are free parameters. We derive analytical solutions for the Hubble parameter and other relevant cosmological quantities. The evolution of the deceleration parameter, the effective equation of state parameter, the cosmographic parameters, the behaviour of Om($\mathit{z}$) diagnostics and the present age of the universe are examined. Furthermore, the analysis of the $ω_{\rm eff}-ω'_{\rm eff}$ plane shows that the model evolves in the freezing region and the thermodynamic analysis confirms that the generalized second law of thermodynamics is satisfied within the power vacuum law model.

Accelerated expansion of the universe model with parametrization of $q(z)$ in $f(R,L_m)$ theory of gravity

In this research work, we explore the late-time accelerated expansion of the universe within the framework of modified gravity, specifically $f(R, L_m)$ theory, by considering two non-linear models: $f(R, L_{m}) = \frac{R}{2}+(1+ηR) L_{m}$ and $f(R, L_{m}) = \frac{R}{2}+ L_{m}^η$, where $η$ is a free parameter. Adopting a parametric form of the deceleration parameter $q(z)$, we derive a quadratic expression for the normalized Hubble parameter. By use of Bayesian statistical analysis with the $χ^{2}$-minimization approach, we determine the median values of the model parameters for both the cosmic chronometer (CC) and the joint (CC+Pantheon) dataset. Furthermore, we examine the fundamental cosmological parameters: energy density, pressure, the equation of state (EoS) parameter and energy conditions. The cosmographic parameters are thoroughly analyzed and the present age of the universe is estimated based on this model.
