The evolution of the configurational entropy of the universe relies on the growth rate of density fluctuations and on the Hubble parameter. In this work, I present the evolution of configurational entropy for the power-law $f(T)$ gravity model of the form $f(T) = zeta (-T)^ b$, where, $zeta = (6 H_{0}^{2})^{(1-s)}frac{Omega_{P_{0}}}{2 s -1}$ and $b$ a free parameter. From the analysis, I report that the configurational entropy in $f(T)$ gravity is negative and decreases with increasing scale factor and therefore consistent with an accelerating universe. The decrease in configurational entropy is the highest when $b$ vanishes since the effect of dark energy is maximum when $b=0$. Additionally, I find that as the parameter $b$ increases, the growth rate, growing mode, and the matter density parameter evolve slowly whereas the Hubble parameter evolves rapidly. The rapid evolution of the Hubble parameter in conjunction with the growth rate for the $b=0$ may provide an explanation for the large dissipation of configurational entropy.

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.
[Abridged] In its standard formulation, the $f(T)$ field equations are not invariant under local Lorentz transformations, and thus the theory does not inherit the causal structure of special relativity. A locally Lorentz covariant $f(T)$ gravity theory has been devised recently, and this local causality problem has been overcome. The nonlocal question, however, is left open. If gravitation is to be described by this covariant $f(T)$ gravity theory there are a number of issues that ought to be examined in its context, including the question as to whether its field equations allow homogeneous Godel-type solutions, which necessarily leads to violation of causality on nonlocal scale. Here, to look into the potentialities and difficulties of the covariant $f(T)$ theories, we examine whether they admit Godel-type solutions. We take a combination of a perfect fluid with electromagnetic plus a scalar field as source, and determine a general Godel-type solution, which contains special solutions in which the essential parameter of Godel-type geometries, $m^2$, defines any class of homogeneous Godel-type geometries. We extended to the context of covariant $f(T)$ gravity a theorem, which ensures that any perfect-fluid homogeneous Godel-type solution defines the same set of Godel tetrads $h_A^{~mu}$ up to a Lorentz transformation. We also shown that the single massless scalar field generates Godel-type solution with no closed timelike curves. Even though the covariant $f(T)$ gravity restores Lorentz covariance of the field equations and the local validity of the causality principle, the bare existence of the Godel-type solutions makes apparent that the covariant formulation of $f(T)$ gravity does not preclude non-local violation of causality in the form of closed timelike curves.
We provide for the first time the growth index of linear matter fluctuations of the power law $f(T) propto (-T)^{b}$ gravity model. We find that the asymptotic form of this particular $f(T)$ model is $gamma approx frac{6}{11-6b}$ which obviously extends that of the $Lambda$CDM model, $gamma_{Lambda}approx 6/11$. Finally, we generalize the growth index analysis of $f(T)$ gravity in the case where $gamma$ is allowed to vary with redshift.
We investigate the cosmological applications of $F(T,T_G)$ gravity, which is a novel modified gravitational theory based on the torsion invariant $T$ and the teleparallel equivalent of the Gauss-Bonnet term $T_{G}$. $F(T,T_{G})$ gravity differs from both $F(T)$ theories as well as from $F(R,G)$ class of curvature modified gravity, and thus its corresponding cosmology proves to be very interesting. In particular, it provides a unified description of the cosmological history from early-times inflation to late-times self-acceleration, without the inclusion of a cosmological constant. Moreover, the dark energy equation-of-state parameter can be quintessence or phantom-like, or experience the phantom-divide crossing, depending on the parameters of the model.
$f(Q,T)$ gravity is a novel extension of the symmetric teleparallel gravity where the Lagrangian $L$ is represented through an arbitrary function of the nonmetricity $Q$ and the trace of the energy-momentum tensor $T$ cite{fqt}. In this work, we have constrained a widely used $f(Q,T)$ gravity model of the form $f(Q,T) = Q^{n+1} + m T$ from the primordial abundances of the light elements to understand its viability in Cosmology. We report that the $f(Q,T)$ gravity model can elegantly explain the observed abundances of Helium and Deuterium while the Lithium problem persists. From the constraint on the expansion factor in the range $0.9425 lesssim Z lesssim1.1525$, we report strict constraints on the parameters $m$ and $n$ in the range $-1.13 lesssim n lesssim -1.08$ and $-5.86 lesssim m lesssim12.52$ respectively.
