In this work we propose the modelling of static wormholes within the $f(R,T)$ extended theory of gravity perspective. We present some models of wormholes, which are constructed from different hypothesis for their matter content, i.e., different relations for their pressure components (radial and lateral) and different equations of state. The solutions obtained for the shape function of the wormholes obey the necessary metric conditions. They show a behaviour similar to those found in previous references about wormholes, which also happens to our solutions for the energy density of such objects. We also apply the energy conditions for the wormholes physical content.

We present a traversable wormhole solution using the traceless $f(R,T)$ theory of gravity. In the $f(R,T)$ gravity, the Ricci scalar $R$ in the Einstein-Hilbert action is replaced by a function of $R$ and trace of the energy momentum tensor $T$. The traceless version of the $f(R,T)$ gravity gives rise to a possible wormhole geometry without need for exotic matter, which violates the principle of causality. Using a physically plausible ansatz for the wormholes shape function, the traceless field equations lead to compliance with the weak energy condition at very well defined intervals of the coupling constant $lambda$ in the $f(R,T)=R+2lambda T$ form. Our solution leads to other well-behaved energy conditions considering some possible values of the parameter $omega$ in the equation of state $p_r=omega rho$, with $p_r$ being the radial pressure and $rho $ the density. The energy conditions are obeyed in the ranges $lambda < -4pi$ and $omega > -1$. Through the calculation of the Volume Integral Quantifier, one sees that this wormholes can be traversable and respect the causality, since the amount of exotic matter in its interior can be arbitrarily small.
Wormholes are a solution for General Relativity field equations which characterize a passage or a tunnel that connects two different regions of space-time and is filled by some sort of exotic matter, that does not satisfy the energy conditions. On the other hand, it is known that in extended theories of gravity, the extra degrees of freedom once provided may allow the energy conditions to be obeyed and, consequently, the matter content of the wormhole to be non-exotic. In this work, we obtain, as a novelty in the literature, solutions for charged wormholes in the $f(R,T)$ extended theory of gravity. We show that the presence of charge in these objects may be a possibility to respect some stability conditions for their metric. Also, remarkably, the energy conditions are respected in the present approach.
The article presents modeling of inflationary scenarios for the first time in the $f(R,T)$ theory of gravity. We assume the $f(R,T)$ functional from to be $R + eta T$, where $R$ denotes the Ricci scalar, $T$ the trace of the energy-momentum tensor and $eta$ the model parameter (constant). We first investigated an inflationary scenario where the inflation is driven purely due to geometric effects outside of GR. We found the inflation observables to be independent of the number of e-foldings in this setup. The computed value of the spectral index is consistent with latest Planck 2018 dataset while the scalar to tensor ratio is a bit higher. We then proceeded to analyze the behavior of an inflation driven by $f(R,T)$ gravity coupled with a real scalar field. By taking the slow-roll approximation, we generated interesting scenarios where a Klein Gordon potential leads to observationally consistent inflation observables. Our results makes it clear-cut that in addition to the Ricci scalar and scalar fields, the trace of energy momentum tensor also play a major role in driving inflationary scenarios.
Braneworld scenarios consider our observable universe as a brane embedded in a 5D space, named bulk. In this work, I derive the field equations of a braneworld model in a generalized theory of gravitation, namely $f(R,T)$ gravity, with $R$ and $T$, representing the Ricci scalar and the trace of the energy-momentum tensor, respectively. The cosmological parameters obtained from this approach are in agreement with recent constraints from Supernovae Ia data combined with baryon acoustic oscillations and cosmic microwave background observations, favouring such an alternative description of the universe dynamics.
In this paper, we employ mimetic $f(R,T)$ gravity coupled with Lagrange multiplier and mimetic potential to yield viable inflationary cosmological solutions consistent with latest Planck and BICEP2/Keck Array data. We present here three viable inflationary solutions of the Hubble parameter ($H$) represented by $H(N)=left(A exp beta N+B alpha ^Nright)^{gamma }$, $H(N)=left(A alpha ^N+B log Nright)^{gamma }$, and $H(N)=left(A e^{beta N}+B log Nright)^{gamma }$, where $A$, $beta$, $B$, $alpha$, $gamma$ are free parameters, and $N$ represents the number of e-foldings. We carry out the analysis with the simplest minimal $f(R,T)$ function of the form $f(R,T)= R + chi T$, where $chi$ is the model parameter. We report that for the chosen $f(R,T)$ gravity model, viable cosmologies are obtained compatible with observations by conveniently setting the Lagrange multiplier and the mimetic potential.
