The $f(R,T)$ theory of gravitation is an extended theory of gravitation in which the gravitational action contains both the Ricci scalar $R$ and the trace of energy momentum tensor $T$ and hence the cosmological models based on $f(R,T)$ gravity are eligible to describing late time acceleration of present universe. In this paper, we investigate an accelerating model of flat universe with linearly varying deceleration parameter (LVDP). We apply the linearly time varying law for deceleration parameters that generates a model of transitioning universe from early decelerating phase to current accelerating phase. We carry out the state-finder and Om(z) analysis, and obtain that LVDP model have consistency with astrophysical observations. We also discuss profoundly the violation of energy-momentum conservation law in $f(R,T)$ gravity and dynamical behavior of the model.
Traversable wormholes, studied by Morris and Thorne cite{Morris1} in general relativity, are investigated in this research paper in $f(R,T)$ gravity by introducing a new form of non-linear $f(R,T)$ function. By using this novel function, the Einsteins field equations in $f(R,T)$ gravity are derived. To obtain the exact wormhole solutions, the relations $p_t=omegarho$ and $p_r=sinh(r)p_t$, where $rho$ is the energy density, $p_r$ is the radial pressure and $p_t$ is the tangential pressure, are used. Other than these relations, two forms of shape function defined in literature are used, and their suitability is examined by exploring the regions of validity of null, weak, strong and dominant energy conditions . Consequently, the radius of the throat or the spherical region, with satisfied energy conditions, is determined and the presence of exotic matter is minimized.
Anisotropic cosmological models are constructed in $f(R,T)$ gravity theory to investigate the dynamics of universe concerning the late time cosmic acceleration. Using a more general and simple approach, the effect of the coupling constant and anisotropy on the cosmic dynamics have been investigated. Cosmic anisotropy is found affect substantially the cosmic dynamics.
In the present work, a new form of the logarithmic shape function is proposed for the linear $f(R,T)$ gravity, $f(R,T)=R+2lambda T$ where $lambda$ is an arbitrary coupling constant, in wormhole geometry. The desired logarithmic shape function accomplishes all necessary conditions for traversable and asymptotically flat wormholes. The obtained wormhole solutions are analyzed from the energy conditions for different values of $lambda$. It has been observed that our proposed shape function for the linear form of $f(R,T)$ gravity, represents the existence of exotic matter and non-exotic matter. Moreover, for $lambda=0$ i.e. for the general relativity case, the existence of exotic matter for the wormhole geometry has been confirmed. Further, the behaviour of the radial state parameter $omega_{r}$, the tangential state parameter $omega_{t}$ and the anisotropy parameter $triangle$ describing the geometry of the universe, has been presented for different values of $lambda$ chosen in $[-100,100]$.
A plane symmetric Bianchi-I model is explored in $f(R,T)$ gravity, where $R$ is the Ricci scalar and $T$ is the trace of energy-momentum tensor. The solutions are obtained with the consideration of a specific Hubble parameter which yields a constant deceleration parameter. The various evolutionary phases are identified under the constraints obtained for physically viable cosmological scenarios. Although a single (primary) matter source is taken, due to the coupling between matter and $f(R,T)$ gravity, an additional matter source appears, which mimics a perfect fluid or exotic matter. The solutions are also extended to the case of a scalar field model. The kinematical behavior of the model remains independent of $f(R,T)$ gravity. The physical behavior of the effective matter also remains the same as in general relativity. It is found that $f(R,T)$ gravity can be a good alternative to the hypothetical candidates of dark energy to describe the present accelerating expansion of the universe.
Teleparallel gravity is a modified theory of gravity for which the Ricci scalar $R$ of the underlying geometry in the action is replaced by an arbitrary functional form of torsion scalar $T$. In doing so, cosmology in $% f(T)$ gravity becomes greatly simplified owing to the fact that $T$ contains only the first derivatives of the vierbeins. The article exploits this appealing nature of $f(T)$ gravity and present cosmological scenarios from hybrid and logarithmic teleparallel gravity models of the form $% f=e^{mT}T^n $ and $f=Dlog(bT)$ respectively, where $m$, $n$, $D$ and $b$ are free parameters constrained to suffice the late time acceleration. We employ a well motivated parametrization of the deceleration parameter having just one degree of freedom constrained with a $chi^{2}$ test from 57 data points of Hubble data set in the redshift range $0.07<z<2.36$, to obtain the expressions of pressure, density and EoS parameter for both the teleparallel gravity models and study their temporal evolution. We find the deceleration parameter to experience a signature flipping for the $chi^{2}$ value of the free parameter at $z_{tr}simeq0.6$ which is consistent with latest Planck measurements. Next, we present few geometric diagnostics of this parametrization to understand the nature of dark energy and its deviation from the $Lambda$CDM cosmology. Finally, we study the energy conditions to check the consistency of the parameter spaces for both the teleparallel gravity models. We find the SEC to violate for both the models which is an essential recipe to obtain an accelerating universe.
