Rip cosmologies, Wormhole Solutions and Big Trip in the $f(T,\mathcal{T})$ theory of gravity

Rip cosmological models have been investigated in the framework of $f(T,\mathcal{T})$ theory of gravity, where $T$ denotes the torsion and $\mathcal{T}$ is the trace of the energy-momentum tensor. These phantom cosmological models revealed that at initial epoch a EoS parameter $ω<-1$ and tends asymptotically at late phase to $-1$ $(ω\rightarrow -1)$. On the other hand, Wormhole Solutions and Big Trip have been subject of an investigation. The wormhole throat radius $R(t)$ and the conditions to be satisfied so that produces the Big Trip phenomenon have been discussed.

Gravastars in $f(\mathbb{T},\mathcal{T})$ gravity

We propose a stellar model under the $f(\mathbb{T},\mathcal{T})$ gravity following Mazur-Mottola's conjecture [Mazur (2001), Mazur (2004)] known as gravastar which is generally believed as a viable alternative to black hole. The gravastar consists of three regions, viz., (I) Interior region, (II) Intermediate shell region, and (III) Exterior region. The pressure within the interior core region is assumed to be equal to the constant negative matter-energy density which provides a constant repulsive force over the thin shell region. The shell is assumed to be made up of fluid of ultrarelativistic plasma and following the Zel'dovich's conjecture of stiff fluid [Zeldovich (1972)] it is also assumed that the pressure which is directly proportional to the matter-energy density according to Zel'dovich's conjecture, does cancel the repulsive force exerted by the interior region. The exterior region is completely vacuum and it can be described by the Schwarzschild solution. Under all these specifications we find out a set of exact and singularity-free solutions of the gravastar presenting several physically valid features within the framework of alternative gravity, namely $f(\mathbb{T},\mathcal{T})$ gravity [Harko (2014)], where the part of the gravitational Lagrangian in the corresponding action is taken as an arbitrary function of torsion scalar $\mathbb{T}$ and the trace of the energy-momentum tensor $\mathcal{T}$.

Reconstructing $f(T)$ modified gravity from ECHDE and ECNADE models

We investigate alternative candidates to dark energy that can explain the current state of the universe in the framework of the generalized teleparallel theory of gravity $f(T)$ where $T$ denotes the torsion scalar. To achieve this, we carried out a series of reconstruction taking into account to the ordinary and entropy-corrected versions of the holographic and new agegraphic dark energy models. These models used as alternative to dark energy in the literature in order describe the current state of our universe. It is remarked that the models reconstructed indicates behaviors like phantom or quintessence models. Furthermore, we also generated the EoS parameters associated to entropy-corrected models and we observed a transition phase between quintessence state and phantom state as showed by recent observational data. We also investigated on the stability theses models and we created the $\{r-s\}$. The behavior of certains physical parameters as speed of sound and the Statefinder parameters are compatible with current observational data.

Inflationary scenario driven by type IV singularity in $f(T)$ gravity

In this paper, we investigate the effects of Type IV singularity through $f(T)$ gravity description of inflationary universe, where $T$ denotes the torsion scalar. With the Friedmann equations of the theory, we reconstruct a $f(T)$ model according to a given Hubble rate susceptible to describe the inflationary era near the type IV singularity. Moreover, we calculate the Hubble flow parameters in order to determine the dynamical evolution of the cosmological system. The results show that some of the Hubble flow parameters are small near the Type IV singularity and become singular at Type IV Singularity, indicating that a dynamical instability of the cosmological system occurs a that point. This means that the dynamical cosmological evolution up to that point, ceases to be the final attractor since the system is abruptly interrupted. Furthermore, by considering the $f(T)$ trace anomaly equation and the slow-roll conditions, we deal with the de Sitter inflationary description of the reconstructed model. As results, the model leads to a conditional instability, view as the source of the graceful exit from inflation. Our theoretical $f(T)$ description based on slow-roll parameters not only confirms some observational data on spectral index and the scalar-to-tensor ratio from Planck data and BICEP$2$/Keck-Array data, but also shows the property of $f(T)$ gravity in describing the early and late-time evolution of our universe.

New Traversable Wormholes Solutions in $f(T)$ Gravity

In this paper we search for dynamical traversable wormhole solution in the modified $f(T)$ theory of gravity, $T$ being the torsion scalar. For such wormhole, the time dependence is inserted in the static traversable wormhole metric of Morris and Thore. Two set of tetrads are adopted: the diagonal and the non-diagonal tetrads. The diagonal set of tetrads constrains and reduces $f(T)$ model to teleparallel theory where usual solutions have been found. With diagonal set of tetrads, free from the teleparallel theory constraint, our results show that the existence of traversable wormhole is possible only for non-dynamical spacetime metric, i.e, static traversable wormhole solutions. Moreover we take into account energy condition analysis and the results show that the violation of NEC is not determinant for existence of static traversable wormhole solutions.

$f(R,T)$ 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.

Type IV singular bouncing cosmology from $f(T)$ Gravity

We investigate bouncing scenario in the modified $f(T)$ gravity, $T$ being the torsion scalar. Attention is attached to the reconstruction of $f(T)$ able to describe type IV singular bouncing evolution, where we adopt as assumption that the bouncing and type IV singularity points coincide. In the context of the reconstructed $f(T)$ model we calculate the Hubble slow-roll parameters in order to determine the dynamical evolution of the cosmological system under study. The results show that the Hubble slow-roll parameters become singular at the type IV singularity indicating a dynamical instability. Moreover we perform the stability analysis of the $f(T)$ gravity solution where, according to the obtained result, the type IV singularity point is a saddle point in agreement with the bounce scenario.

Cosmological Study of Autonomous Dynamical Systems in Modified Tele-Parallel Gravity

Cosmological approaches of autonomous dynamical system in the framework of $f(T)$ gravity are investigated in this paper. Our methods applied to flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker equations in $f(T)$ gravity, consist to extract dynamical systems whose time-dependence is contained in a single parameter $m$ depending on the Hubble rate of Universe and its second derivative. In our attempt to investigate the autonomous aspect of the dynamical systems reconstructed in both vacuum and non-vacuum $f(T)$ gravities, two values of the parameter $m$ have been considered for our present analysis. In the so-called quasi-de Sitter inflationary era ($m\simeq0$), the corresponding autonomous dynamical systems provide stable de Sitter attractors and unstable de Sitter fixed points. Especially in the vacuum $f(T)$ gravity, the approximate form of the $f(T)$ gravity near the stable and the unstable de Sitter fixed points has been performed. The matter dominated era case $(m=-\frac{9}{2})$ leads to unstable fixed points confirming matter dominated era or not, and stable attractor fixed point describing dark energy dominated era. Another subtlety around the stable fixed point obtained at matter dominated case in the non-vacuum $f(T)$ gravity is when the dark energy dominated era is reached, at the same time, the radiation perfect fluid dominated succumbs.

Holographic dark energy model in unimodular $f(T)$ gravity

The present work deals with holographic dark energy in the context of unimodular $f(T)$ gravity, which is a modification of teleparallel gravity. We develop the general reconstruction procedure of the $f(T)$ form that can yield the holographic feature of the dark energy. We fit the reconstructed model with the $H(z)$ data and our results show a perfect agreement with the WMAP9 cosmological observational data, at least for the range $-1.10\leq ω_V \leq -1.05$. We investigate the consistency of the reconstructed model by studying its stability against linear gravitational and matter perturbations, fixing $ω_V$ to $-1.05$. The model presents stability for both de Sitter and power-law solutions and we conclude that it is a good candidate as alternative viable model for characterizing holographic dark energy.

$f(T)$ gravity and energy distribution in Landau-Lifshitz prescription

We investigate in this paper the Landau-Lifshitz energy distribution in the framework of $f(T)$ theory view as a modified version of Teleparallel theory. From some important Teleparallel theory results on the localization of energy, our investigations generalize the Landau-Lifshitz prescription from the computation of the energy-momentum complex to the framework of $f (T)$ gravity as it is done in the modified versions of General Relativity. We compute the energy density in the first step for three plane symmetric metrics in vacuum. We find for the second metric that the energy density vanishes independently of $f (T)$ models. These metrics provide results in perfect agreement with those mentioned in literature. In the second step the calculations are performed for the Cosmic String Spacetime metric. It results that the energy distribution depends on the mass $M$ of cosmic string and it is strongly affected by the parameter of the considered $f (T)$ quadratic model.

Unimodular $f(G)$ gravity

In this paper we study a modified version of unimodular general relativity in the context of $f(G)$, $G$ denoting the Gauss-Bonnet invariant. We attach attention to Bianchi-type I and Friendmann-Robertson-Walker universes and search for unimodular $f(G)$ models according to the de Sitter and power-law solutions. Assuming unimodular $f(G)$ gravity as perfect fluid and making use of the slow-roll parameters, inflationary model has been reconstructed in concordance with the Planck observational data. Moreover, we investigate the realization of the bounce and loop quantum cosmological ekpyrotic paradigms. Assuming suitable and appropriated scale factors, unimodular $f(G)$ models able to reproduce superbounce and ekpyrotic scenarios have been reconstructed.

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.

Strong Magnetic field effects on Neutron Stars within $f(T)$ theory of gravity

We investigate in this paper the structures of neutron stars under the strong magnetic field in the framework of $f(T)$ gravity where $T$ denotes the scalar torsion. The TOV equations in this theory of gravity have been considered and numerical resolution of these equations has been performed within perturbative approach taking into account the equation of state of neutron dense matter in magnetic field. We simplify the problem by considering the very strong magnetic field which affects considerably the dense matter; and for quadratic and cubic corrections to Teleparallel term, one finds that the mass of neutron stars can increase for different values of the perturbation parameter. The deviation from Teleparallel for different values of magnetic field is found out and this feature is very appreciable in the case of cubic correction. Our results are related to the hadronic particles description with very small hyperon contributions and the mass-radius evolution is consistency with the observational data.

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.

Perfect fluid and F(T) gravity descriptions of inflationary universe and comparison with obervational data

We describe in this paper the observables of inflationary models, in particular the spectrum index of torsion scalar perturbations, the tensor-to-scalar ratio, and the running of the spectral index, in the framework of perfect fluid models and F(T) gravity theories through the reconstruction methods. Then, our results on the perfect fluid and F(T) gravity theories of inflation are compared with recent cosmological observations such as the Planck satellite and BICEP2 experiment. Ours studies prove that the perfect fluid and F(T) gravity models can reproduce the inflationary universe consistent above all with the Planck data. We have reconstructed several models and considered others which give the best fit values compatible with the spectral index of curvature perturbations, the tensor-to-scalar ratio, and the running of the spectral index within the allowed ranges suggested by the Planck and BICEP2 results.

Generalized Mattig's relation in Brans-Dicke-Rastall gravity

The Geodesic Deviation Equation is being studied in Brans-Dicke-Rastall gravity. We briefly discuss the Brans-Dicke-Rastall gravity and then construct GDE for FLRW metric. In this way, the obtained geodesic deviation equation will correspond to the Brans-Dicke-Rastall gravity. Eventually, we solve numerically the null vector GDE to obtain from Mattig relation, the deviation vector $η(z)$ and observer area distance $r_0(z)$ and compare the results with $Λ$CDM model.

Stability and Space Phase Analysis in f(R) theory with Generalized Exponential model

We have studied in this paper, the stability of dynamical system in $f(R)$ gravity. We have considered the $f(R)$ $γ$-gravity and explored its dynamical analysis. We found six critical points among which only one describes an universe fulled of both matter and dominated dark energy. It's shown that these critical points presents specific phase spaces described by the corresponding fluids. Furthermore, we've investigated the stability conditions of these critical points and find that theses conditions are dependent of the model parameters. We also study the stability of a new power-law $f_\ast(R)$ model with de Sitter and power law solutions.
