Study on physical properties and maximum mass limit of Finch-Skea anisotropic model under Karmarkar condition in $f(Q)$-gravity

The primary objective of this work is to study the dynamical characteristics of an anisotropic compact star model with spherical symmetry. This investigation is conducted in the framework of $f(Q)$ modified gravity. To simplify the calculations, we employ the Karmarkar condition and derive a differential equation that establishes a relationship between two crucial components of the spacetime namely $e^ν$ and $e^λ$. Additionally, we incorporate the well-known Finch-Skea structure as the component representing $g_{rr}$ and subsequently find the resulting form of the component $g_{tt}$ from the relation of metric functions to formulate the precise solutions for the stellar structure. To assess the behavior of the anisotropic fluid and stability of the compact star, we use the observed values of mass and radius for the compact star model $PSR J0437-4715$. The graphical analysis depicts that the stellar structure possesses physical viability and exhibits intriguing properties. Furthermore, we predicted the mass-radius relation along with the maximum mass limit of several objects for different parameter values by assuming two different surface densities. It is discovered that the compactness rises when density increases.

Cosmic evolution in $f(Q,T)$ gravity: Exploring a higher-order time-dependent function of deceleration parameter with observational constraints

In this research paper, we explore a well-motivated parametrization of the time-dependent deceleration parameter, characterized by a cubic form, within the context of late time cosmic acceleration. The current analysis is based on the $f(Q,T)$ gravity theory, by considering the background metric as the homogeneous and isotropic Friedmann Lemaître Robertson Walker (FLRW) metric. Investigating the model reveals intriguing features of the late universe. To constrain the model, we use the recent observational datasets, including cosmic chronometer (CC), Supernovae (SNIa), Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO), Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMB), Gamma Ray Burst (GRB), and Quasar (Q) datasets. The joint analysis of these datasets results in tighter constraints for the model parameters, enabling us to discuss both the physical and geometrical aspects of the model. Moreover, we determine the present values of the deceleration parameter ($q_0$), the Hubble parameter ($H_0$), and the transition redshift ($z_t$) from deceleration to acceleration ensuring consistency with some recent results of Planck 2018. Our statistical analysis yields highly improved results, surpassing those obtained in previous investigations. Overall, this study presents valuable insights into the higher order $q(t)$ model and its implications for late-time cosmic acceleration, shedding light on the nature of the late universe.

Viable embedded wormholes and energy conditions in $f(\mathcal{R},\mathcal{G})$ gravity

The current study explores the generalized embedded wormhole solutions in the background of $f(\mathcal{R},\mathcal{G})$ gravity, where $\mathcal{R}$ represents the Ricci scalar and $\mathcal{G}$ denotes the Gauss-Bonnet invariant. To investigate the necessary structures of the wormhole solutions we thoroughly analyzed the energy conditions under $f(\mathcal{R},\mathcal{G})$ gravity within the anisotropic source of matter. To meet this aim, we consider spherically symmetric geometry with the most generic gravity model of the gravity. A modified version of the field equations is calculated for two different embedded wormhole solutions. All the energy conditions are calculated and shown graphically with the regional ranges of the model parameter. Further, the invalid region of the energy conditions confirms the presence of exotic matter. Finally, we have concluding remarks.

Testing the Metric-Affine Gravity Using Particle Dynamics and Photon Motion

This work mainly focuses to unveil the optical features of a black hole. For this objective, we utilize the metric-affine black hole geometry with the inclusion of dilation, spin, and shear charge. The Lagrangian coefficients $f_1$ and $d_1$ are the main parameters, where $f_1<0$, which differentiate the solutions by $d_1=8f_1,\;d_1=-8f_1,\;\&\;d_1=\pm8f_1$. Based on these parameters, we carry out this work in two cases, i.e., $d_1=8f_1,\;\&\;d_1=-8f_1$. We forecast the detailed impact of dilation, spin, and shear charges on the optical properties of the black holes in both cases. To unreveal the optical features, we calculate horizon radius, inner stable circular orbit, photon sphere radius, BH shadows, quasi-periodic oscillations, the red-blue shift of photon particles, effective force, weak gravitational lensing, and image magnification by using metric-affine gravity black hole geometry.

Stability of the Universe Model Coupled with Phantom and Tachyon Fields

In this paper, we study the phase space analysis of locally rotationally symmetric Bianchi type I universe model by taking interactions between dark matter and scalar field models. We define normalized dimensionless variables to develop an autonomous system of equations. We also find the corresponding critical points in order to study the dynamics of the system. The dynamical analysis indicates that all the critical points correspond to accelerated cosmic expansion for tachyon coupled field. We observe that positive values of $m$ provide more stable future attractors as compared to its negative values. We also analyze the behavior of power-law scale factor which shows different cosmological phases. It is found that the region for decelerated expansion gets larger for the phantom coupled matter by increasing $m$ while this region decreases for tachyon coupled field.

Phase Space Analysis for Anisotropic Universe with Nonlinear Bulk Viscosity

In this paper, we discuss the phase space analysis of locally rotationally symmetric Bianchi type I universe model by taking a noninteracting mixture of dust like and viscous radiation like fluid whose viscous pressure satisfies a nonlinear version of the Israel-Stewart transport equation. An autonomous system of equations is established by defining normalized dimensionless variables. In order to investigate the stability of the system, we evaluate corresponding critical points for different values of the parameters. We also compute the power-law scale factor whose behavior indicates different phases of the universe model. It is found that our analysis does not provide a complete immune from fine-tuning because the exponentially expanding solution occurs only for a a particular range of parameters. We conclude that stable solutions exist in the presence of nonlinear model for bulk viscosity with different choices of the constant parameter $m$ for anisotropic universe.

Stability of Thin-Shell Wormholes from Regular ABG Black Hole

In this paper, we construct thin-shell wormholes from regular Ayon-Beato and Garcia black hole by employing cut and paste formalism and examine their stability. We analyze attractive and repulsive characteristics of wormholes corresponding to outward and inward-directed acceleration components, respectively. A general equation of state is assumed as a linear perturbation to explore stability of these constructed wormholes with and without cosmological constant. We consider linear, logarithmic and Chaplygin gas models for exotic matter and evaluate stability regions for different values of charge. For horizon-free case, it is found that the generalized Chaplygin gas model provides maximum stable regions in de Sitter background while the modified generalized Chaplygin gas and logarithmic gas yield maximum stable regions in anti-de Sitter spacetime.

Stability of the Regular Hayward Thin-Shell Wormholes

The aim of this paper is to construct regular Hayward thin-shell wormholes and analyze their stability. We adopt Israel formalism to calculate surface stresses of the shell and check the null and weak energy conditions for the constructed wormholes. It is found that the stress-energy tensor components violate the null and weak energy conditions leading to the presence of exotic matter at the throat. We analyze the attractive and repulsive characteristics of wormholes corresponding to $a^r>0$ and $a^r<0$, respectively. We also explore stability conditions for the existence of traversable thin-shell wormholes with arbitrarily small amount of fluids describing cosmic expansion. We find that the spacetime has non-physical regions which give rise to event horizon for $0<a_{0}<2.8$ and the wormhole becomes non-traversable producing a black hole. The non-physical region in the wormhole configuration decreases gradually and vanishes for the Hayward parameter $l=0.9$. It is concluded that the Hayward and Van der Waals quintessence parameters increase the stability of thin-shell wormholes.

Dynamical Instability of Gaseous Sphere in the Reissner-Nordstrom Limit

In this paper, we study the dynamical instability of gaseous sphere under radial oscillations approaching the Reissner-Nordström limit. For this purpose, we derive linearized perturbed equation of motion following the Eulerian and Lagrangian approaches. We formulate perturbed pressure in terms of adiabatic index by employing the conservation of baryon numbers. A variational principle is established to evaluate characteristic frequencies of oscillations which lead to the criteria for dynamical stability. The dynamical instability of homogeneous sphere as well as relativistic polytropes with different values of charge in Newtonian and post-Newtonian regimes is explored. We also find their radii of instability in terms of the Reissner-Nordstrom radius. We conclude that dynamical instability occurs if the gaseous sphere contracts to the Reissner-Nordstörm radius for different values of charge.
