Reconstruction of f(Q,T) Gravity from Logarithmically Corrected Ricci-Gauss-Bonnet Holographic Dark Energy

The current paper reports an investigation on the cosmological and thermodynamic behaviour of an $f(Q,T)$ modified-gravity framework in which the gravitational Lagrangian is written as $f(Q,T)=f(Q)+λT$, with $Q$ denoting the non-metricity scalar and $T$ the trace of the energy-momentum tensor. The modified Friedmann equations are formulated in terms of an effective Dark Energy sector, and the corresponding equation of state and squared speed of sound are examined for a phenomenological polynomial form of $f(Q)$. A power-law background is constrained using 32 Cosmic Chronometer measurements. The resulting background is then used to study the effective Dark Energy dynamics and its classical stability in the redshift range considered. In this study, we further construct a generalized Ricci-Gauss-Bonnet holographic Dark Energy model with logarithmic entropy corrections based on the Nojiri-Odintsov prescription and establish a correspondence between its energy density and the effective Dark Energy density of the $f(Q,T)$ framework. The full function $f(Q,T)$ is then given by adding the trace contribution $λT$. Finally, the thermodynamic behaviour of the reconstructed model is studied at the apparent horizon with the Nojiri-Odintsov entropy motivated by \textit{Phys. Rev. D} \textbf{105}, 044042 (2022) and the Gibbs relation. The entropy evolution obtained from the compact background description is also found to be consistent with that obtained from the reconstructed effective-fluid formulation, with only small numerical residuals. These results provide a consistent framework for examining the connection between generalized holographic dark energy, reconstructed $f(Q,T)$ gravity, and cosmic thermodynamics.

Reconstruction of f(G) Gravity from an Interacting Viscous Generalized QCD Ghost Dark Energy Model: Cosmology and Thermodynamics: Cosmology and Thermodynamics

In this work, we investigate an interacting viscous generalized QCD ghost dark energy model in the framework of reconstructed $f(G)$ gravity proposed in Phys.\ Lett.\ B 631, 1--6 (2005). The interaction between dark matter and dark energy together with bulk viscosity is incorporated to describe a more realistic cosmic evolution. A hybrid expansion law is adopted to reconstruct the modified Gauss-Bonnet function, which naturally connects the early matter-dominated epoch with the present accelerated expansion of the universe. Since an exact analytical reconstruction is difficult, the $f(G)$ function is obtained numerically in both the early- and late-time regimes. Motivated by the numerical reconstruction, a reconstruction-inspired power-law form of $f(G)$ is also considered to examine the cosmological implications of the model. The results show that the reconstructed $f(G)$ function evolves smoothly throughout the cosmic history, while the effective equation of state gradually approaches the de Sitter phase at late times. The thermodynamic behavior of the model is further examined using Barrow entropy following Eur.\ Phys.\ J.\ C 81, 644 (2021). The non-negative evolution of the total entropy shows the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics. The study finally concludes that the interacting viscous generalized QCD ghost dark energy model in reconstructed $f(G)$ gravity provides a viable and thermodynamically consistent framework for explaining the late-time accelerated expansion of the universe.

Evolution of Realistic Neutron star in the framework of f (Q) gravity

This work analyses and evaluates a few realistic compact objects in the presence of a gravitational interaction between two particles with a nonmetricity $Q$. In the $f(Q)$ gravity framework, we have selected the anisotropic equation of motion and have determined $f(Q)$ to be a linear function of nonmetricity $Q$. To evaluate the field equations in our work, we have opted to employ the Krori-Barua metric. We calculated the anisotropic factor for each of the four compact objects and found that the anisotropic component is positive and increases monotonically and interpreted that the nuclear force can oppose the gravitational attraction. At last, the relationship between mass and radius has been determined and illustrated visually. We have noted that the compactness of the pulsars LMC X-4, SMC X-4, Cen X-3, and Vela X-1 is inside the Buchdahl's limit for varying values of $a$. This has led to the interpretation that these pulsars are neutron stars in a modified gravity background of $f(Q)$. In addition, we calculated the model mass and, using thirty distinct choices of $a$, ran the Chi-Square test to see if there was a noticeable difference between the observed and model-generated masses. We have also looked at how the surface redshift has changed over time and whether the compact objects in our model that were previously described are compact.

Unified Cosmological Scenario in Holographic $f(Q)$ gravity: From Inflation to Late-Time Acceleration

The present paper reports a study of a unified cosmological scenario in the framework of holographic f(Q) gravity, where, in a single theoretical setup, both the early inflationary epoch and the late-time accelerated epoch are studied. Considering f(Q) = $ζQ^n$, we reconstruct the Hubble parameter in the presence of Barrow holographic fluid and study the inflationary behaviour through the slow-roll parameters, scalar spectral index $n_s$, and tensor-to-scalar ratio r. The obtained inflationary predictions are found to be consistent with the latest Planck 2018 observational constraints, with a very small value of the tensor-to-scalar ratio. In the next phase, we extend the study by including the matter sector. The Chevallier-Polarski-Linder (CPL) parametrization is used to connect the theoretical model with observational cosmology. Using combined Cosmic Chronometer (CC) and Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) datasets, the study constrains the model parameters through Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) analysis. From the observational results obtained this way, the study concludes that at low redshifts, the holographic f(Q) model considered here remains compatible with the standard LambdaCDM model, while mild deviations are observed at higher redshift. We have also performed the AIC and BIC analysis and commented on the goodness of fit in comparison with the LambdaCDM model. Hence, the present framework provides a viable unified description of inflation and late-time cosmic acceleration within holographic f(Q) gravity.

Compact objects in AdS spacetime with exponential, quadratic and power-law bosonic mass profiles

This paper reports a study on the formation and physical characteristics of compacts stars in AdS spacetime within the framework of Bose-Einstein Condensate. Considering a Bose-Einstein condensate background at zero temperature this study works on total mass, compactness, surface redshift, density, pressure, adiabatic index and energy conditions. The bosonic mass has been taken as three distinct functions of radial coordinate in exponential form, quadratic form, and power law form. Our results reveal that the mass increases monotonically with radius and remains within observational limit for all the observationally motivated compact-star mass scales considered in this study and the compactness for all the cases is within Buchdahl's limit and hence it was confirmed that the configuration correspondence to compact stellar configuration models rather than forming a collapsing model. Both NEC and SEC are satisfied throughout the stellar interior and hence dynamical stability is ensured. Furthermore, the study also confirms the enhanced mass concentration near the outer region in the stellar models under consideration. Hence present study explores the physical properties and stability of compact bosonic configurations in AdS spacetime within a holographically motivated framework. The present analysis is primarily phenomenological and qualitative in nature. The models considered here are intended to explore possible behaviours of self-gravitating bosonic configurations in AdS geometry and are not proposed as fully realistic neutron-star models.

Reconstruction of Tsallis Holographic Dark Energy via Modified Non-Metric Gravity: An $f(Q,C)$ Approach

In the current research, we have reported the Tsallis Holographic Dark Energy (THDE) (\textit{JCAP}, 2018(12), p.012.) model reconstructed within the framework of $f(Q, C)$ gravity (\textit{JCAP}, 2024(03), p.050.), combining entropy-based dark energy models with geometrically motivated modified gravity to explain late-time cosmic acceleration. The reconstructed model is found to exhibit significant sensitivity to the parameter space $(H_0, a_0, n, δ, ζ,r_d)$ and the initial conditions. The evolution of the equation of state and deceleration parameters is found to be highly dependent on these parameters. A comprehensive Markov Chain Monte Carlo analysis using observational datasets comprising {CC+Pantheon$^{+}$+DESI DR2} was performed, yielding best-fit values that demonstrate strong consistency with observational data, which is further validated for its consistency through the computation of the age of the Universe. The evolution of the jerk and snap parameters is examined and compared with the $Λ$CDM prediction. Statefinder diagnostics, through the evolutionary trajectories of the pairs $(r, s)$ and $(r, q)$ are derived and indicate that the model passes through the $Λ$CDM fixed point and the physical viability of the model is further consolidated through analysis of the four energy conditions.

Cosmology of f(Q,L_m) gravity with Holographic Ricci Dark Energy: Early-Time Inflation and Late-Time Acceleration and RGUP Corrected Observables

This study investigates a cosmological scenario within the f(Q,L_m) gravity framework to explore whether one geometric model can simultaneously describe the early and late-time accelerated epochs. Motivated by the recently proposed f(Q,L_m) gravity framework by Hazarika et al. [Phys. Dark Universe 50 (2025) 102092], we adopt a minimal polynomial form, f(Q,L_m) = -Q + alpha Q^2 + 2L_m + beta QL_m, and the late-time dynamics are reconstructed by introducing Holographic Ricci Dark Energy (HRDE) as an effective fluid. The resulting background evolution demonstrates smooth accelerated expansion, stable Hubble parameter behavior, and an effective equation of state that approaches the de Sitter regime. Bayesian analysis utilizing Pantheon supernovae, cosmic chronometer, and DESI BAO data reveals that the matter-geometry coupling parameter beta is weakly constrained and remains consistent with the LambdaCDM limit. In the high-curvature regime characteristic of the early Universe, the quadratic non-metricity term alpha Q^2 dominates the dynamics, resulting in a Starobinsky-like inflationary phase driven solely by geometric effects with predicted n_s and r values consistent with Planck 2018 observations. Furthermore, quantum-gravity-inspired corrections are examined through a Relativistic Generalized Uncertainty Principle (RGUP), implemented as a momentum-dependent deformation of the effective spacetime metric. These corrections maintain the geometric inflationary background while introducing minor perturbative shifts in higher-order inflationary observables, specifically the running of the spectral index. Overall, these findings indicate that the f(Q,L_m) framework offers a dynamically consistent geometric model in which early and late cosmic acceleration arise from distinct curvature regimes, with RGUP effects causing sub-leading modifications.

Scalar-Field Reconstruction of Ricci--Gauss--Bonnet Dark Energy in Hořava--Lifshitz Cosmology

This paper reports a Ricci-Gauss-Bonnet (RGB) dark energy model within the framework of Hořava-Lifshitz cosmology and presents a scalar-field reconstruction of the effective dark energy sector. In a spatially flat FRW background with a power-law scale factor, we derive analytical expressions for cosmological parameters, scalar field kinetic term, and the reconstructed potential. The reconstructed EoS parameter exhibits smooth transition toward a cosmological-constant-like regime at late times for suitable choices of the model parameters. The classical stability of the model is analyzed through the squared sound speed, and stable regions of the parameter space are identified. Finally, the generalized second law of thermodynamics is investigated at the apparent horizon, and it is shown that the total entropy variation remains non-negative in this model. From these results it can be concluded that the model provides a theoretically consistent description of late-time acceleration, with physical viability maintained within a specific range of the model parameters.

A Study of Non-Singular Bounce in Myrzakulov-type $f(R,T)$ Gravity with Chaplygin Gas

This study investigates the non-singular bounce within the framework of Myrzakulov-type $f(R,T) = R + αT + βT^2$ gravity by adopting a Chaplygin gas equation of state. We employ two methodologies: a reconstruction scheme via a symmetric scale factor ansatz (Model I) and an autonomous dynamical system analysis (Model II). Our results indicate that the quadratic trace parameter $β$ acts as a primary physical driver; specifically, for $β< 0$, the matter-geometry coupling generates sufficient geometric repulsion to effectively violate the Null Energy Condition (NEC) at high densities without the requirement of exotic matter fields. A numerical scan of the $(β, ρ_0)$ parameter space indicates a critical density threshold required to initiate the bounce, below which the Universe follows a singular General Relativity trajectory. The models are shown to be physically viable, with the effective equation of state asymptotically approaching a de Sitter attractor ($w_{\text{eff}} \to -1$) and the squared speed of sound remaining within the stability and causality bounds ($0 \le c_s^2 \le 1$). This study shows that the $f(R,T)$ framework provides a stable, classically geometric alternative to the Big Bang singularity, consistent with both early-universe requirements and late-time accelerated expansion.

Cosmology of the interacting Tsallis holographic dark energy in $f(R,T)$ gravity framework

In this work, we have analyzed the cosmology of the Tsallis holographic dark energy (THDE), a particular case of Nojiri-Odintsov HDE proposed in [S. Nojiri and S. D. Odintsov, \textit{Gen. Relativ. Gravit.} \textbf{38} (2006), 1285; \textit{Eur. Phys. J. C} \textbf{77} (2017) 528], using Hubble's horizon cutoff in $f(R,T)=μR+νT$ model considering pressureless dark matter. We have examined the equation of state (EoS) parameters in this scenario. The deceleration parameter has been evaluated for this interacting model to justify the late-time acceleration of the expanding universe. We have also studied the cosmological consequences of Statefinder pair, $O_{m}(z)$ diagnostics, $r-q$ plane, and $w_{DE}-w^{'}_{DE}$ pair for interacting THDE in $f(R,T)=μR+νT$ model. We have also illustrated the cosmology of the interacting THDE using Hubble's horizon cutoff in $f(R,T)=R+γR^2+ξT$ model. The EoS parameter, deceleration parameter and Statefinder pair are studied in this interacting scenario. Attainment of $Λ$CDM fixed point has been observed for both models. We have also constrained model parameters based on observational data sets through the formalism of $χ^{2}$ minimum test.

Cosmological Dynamics of Exponential Quintessence Constrained by BAO, Cosmic Chronometers, and DES-SN5YR/Pantheon+ Data

We perform a comprehensive observational test of a canonical quintessence model driven by an exponential potential, motivated by its emergence in higher-dimensional theories, string-inspired scenarios, and modified gravity. Using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo framework, we constrain the model with the latest high-precision observational datasets including Cosmic Chronometers, Baryon Acoustic Oscillation, Pantheon+, and DES-SN5YR Type Ia Supernovae. The combined data significantly tighten the parameter bounds on (H0, Omega_m0, eta0, gamma) and yield predictions for the Hubble parameter H(z), the distance modulus mu(z), and the scaled comoving angular diameter distance that remain in excellent agreement with observations and closely follow the LCDM baseline. An information-theoretic model comparison using the Akaike Information Criterion shows that the exponential quintessence model remains statistically comparable with LCDM despite having additional parameters. The model successfully reproduces the transition from matter domination to late-time acceleration, maintains w_tot > -1, and provides an age of the universe consistent with Planck 2018. Statefinder diagnostics indicate trajectories approaching the LCDM fixed point with small deviations, and energy condition analysis confirms physical viability, with only the Strong Energy Condition violated at late times as required for acceleration.

Non-Singular Bouncing cosmology from Phantom Scalar-Gauss-Bonnet Coupling: Reconstruction with Observational Insights

We examine non-singular bounce cosmology within the framework of a phantom scalar field coupled to the Gauss-Bonnet term in both non-viscous and bulk-viscous cases. Using the scale factor ansatz $α(t)=\left(\fracαη+t^2\right)^{\frac{1}{2 η}}$, we reconstruct the scalar field potential $V(t)$, and observe a smooth potential well centered at the bounce point. The resulting energy density, pressure, and equation-of-state parameter show NEC violation necessary for successful bounce, while viscosity controls post-bounce dynamics with a positive and smooth squared speed of sound. In contrast, for the non-viscous model, sharp divergences occur just at the bounce and continues to be negative in the expanding phase, which in turn emphasises the stabilising role of dissipative effects. The energy condition analysis indicates a temporary NEC and SEC violation in the viscous scenario, whereas its persistent violation within the non-viscous model suggests a continuous accelerated expansion. Observational viability is found through Bayesian MCMC fitting in regards to the Pantheon+ supernova data, with best-fit parameters providing a reduced chi-squared of $χ_{red}^2 =0.995$ while the inflation observables derived from the reconstructed potential place our model predictions inside $68\%$ CL Planck 2018 confidence contours. Our findings suggest that bounce cosmologies could offer a physically reasonable and observationally acceptable alternative or pre-inflationary scenario, while highlighting the role that viscosity could play for a stable and smooth cosmological evolution.

A Combined Barrow Entropy and QCD Ghost Mechanism for Late-Time Cosmic Acceleration

We investigate a unified dark-energy scenario based on the combined effects of Barrow entropy corrections and the QCD ghost mechanism, referred to as the BH--QCDGDE model. The dark-energy density is constructed in a generalized holographic form that incorporates both Barrow-deformed entropy corrections and low-energy QCD vacuum effects within a single framework. The cosmological dynamics are analyzed in a spatially flat Friedmann--Lema\^ıtre--Robertson--Walker background. The model exhibits a smooth transition from a decelerated matter-dominated era to a late-time accelerated phase without crossing the phantom divide, indicating a viable background evolution. An equivalent scalar-field description of the effective dark-energy sector is reconstructed and shown to admit a quintessence-like behavior. The thermodynamic viability is examined by testing the generalized second law at the apparent horizon, which is found to be satisfied throughout the parameter space. The classical stability of the model is further investigated through the squared speed of sound, revealing the role of model parameters in shaping stable cosmological regimes. Overall, the BH--QCDGDE framework provides a consistent and physically viable description of late-time cosmic acceleration.

A comprehensive analysis of Barrow holographic Chaplygin gas model reconstruction and its cosmological consequences

In the current study, we have reconstructed variable modified Chaplygin gas in the Barrow holographic dark energy framework motivated by many recent studies. We have validated the generalized second law of thermodynamics for the reconstructed model. The permissible values of the reconstructed model have been determined by the recent astrophysical and cosmological observational data. The Hubble parameter is presented in terms of the observable parameters and redshift $z$ and other model parameters. From the Stern data set and joint data set of Stern with BAO and CMB observations, the bounds of the model parameters $(B_{0}, Ω_{bhd0})$ are obtained by the $χ^{2}$ minimization procedure. The best-fit value of the distance modulus $μ(z)$ against redshift $z$ is obtained for the reconstructed model and it is consistent with the SNe Ia union2 sample data.

Constraining Exponential f(Q) Gravity with Cosmic Chronometers and Supernovae: A Data-Driven Analysis

The current paper reports an investigation of the cosmological implications of symmetric teleparallel gravity within a modified $f(Q)$ theory. We construct a specific exponential $f(Q)$ model as $f(Q) = Q + η_1 Q_0\left(1 - e^{-η_2 \sqrt{Q/Q_0}}\right)$, designed to smoothly deviate from General Relativity and accommodate both early-time inflation and late-time accelerated expansion. By employing Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods, we constrain the model parameters $η_1$, $η_2$, $H_0$, and $Ω_{m_0}$ using a combination of cosmic chronometers (CC), Pantheon, and Pantheon$^+$ Supernovae datasets. Our analysis demonstrates that the model consistently supports a late-time acceleration scenario and is in good agreement with current cosmological observations. We extensively analyze the dynamical behavior of the model using key cosmological diagnostics, including the deceleration parameter, equation of state, energy density parameters, Statefinder, and Om diagnostics. The reconstructed Hubble parameter $H(z)$ and distance modulus $μ(z)$ show strong consistency with $Λ$CDM and observational data, while subtle deviations at higher redshifts highlight the value of multi-probe observations. In addition, the examination of energy conditions shows that, in accordance with cosmic acceleration, the Strong Energy Condition (SEC) is broken at lower redshifts while the Dominant Energy Condition (DEC) and Null Energy Condition (NEC) are satisfied. Cosmic age estimates from the model are consistently in agreement with Planck constraints. Our results indicate the viability of exponential $f(Q)$ gravity. A comparative statistical analysis reveals that while $Λ$CDM remains statistically preferred based on AIC and BIC criteria, the exponential $f(Q)$ model yields comparable fits and remains a theoretically motivated and viable alternative for describing cosmic acceleration.

Holographic connection of f(G) gravity through Barrow and a generalized version of holographic dark fluid

In the context of f(G) modified gravity, we address the cosmic application of the most generalized form of holographic dark energy (The European Physical Journal C, 77, (2017): 1-8) in this study, as well as a specific instance of it in the form of Barrow holographic dark energy (Physical Review D, 102(12), p.123525). Holographic dark energy and a well-known power law form of the scale factor a(t) are added to the f(G) model in order to achieve this. It is observed that a sufficient criterion for a realistic modified gravity model is satisfied by the reconstructed f(G). The reconstruction models are also tested under the four energy situations.

Warm Inflation with Barrow Holographic Dark Energy

In this work, we study the warm inflation mechanism in the presence of the Barrow holographic dark energy model. Warm inflation differs from other forms of inflation primarily in that it assumes that radiation and inflaton fields exist and interact throughout the inflationary process. After the warming process, energy moves from the inflaton to the radiation as a result of the interaction, keeping the cosmos warm. Here we have set up the warm inflationary mechanism using Barrow holographic dark energy as the driving agent. Warm inflation has been explored in a highly dissipative regime, and interesting results have been obtained. It is seen that the Barrow holographic dark energy can successfully drive a warm inflationary scenario in the early universe. Finally, the model was compared with the observational data, and compliance was found.

Holographic reconstruction of k-essence model with Tsallis and the most generalized Nojiri-Odintsov version of holographic dark energy

The holographic principle, which has its roots in string theory and black hole thermodynamics, connects the maximum distance of a quantum field theory to its infrared cutoff, which is correlated with the vacuum energy. The present study explores a reconstruction scheme for the k-essence form of dark energy with the most generalized version of holographic dark energy introduced in S. Nojiri, and S. D. Odintsov (2006) (Gen. Relativ. Gravit., 38 p: 1285-1304 ) and (S. Nojiri and S. D. Odintsov, 2017, European Physical Journal C, 77, pp.1-8 ). Here,Ulbossyn Ualikhanova in the initial phase of the study, we begin with a reconstruction scheme of the k-essence model with Tsallis holographic dark energy and finally with a highly generalized version of holographic dark energy with Nojiri-Odintsov generalization. Finally, we have studied the cosmological consequences of the k-essence dark energy with the generalized versions of holographic fluid.
