The standard formulation of general relativity fails to describe some recent interests in the universe. It impels us to go beyond the standard formulation of gravity. The $f(Q)$ gravity theory is an interesting modified theory of gravity, where the gravitational interaction is driven by the nonmetricity $Q$. This study aims to examine the cosmological models with the presence of bulk viscosity effect in the cosmological fluid within the framework of $f(Q)$ gravity. We construct three bulk viscous fluid models, i.e. (i) for the first model, we assuming the Lagrangian $f(Q)$ as linear dependence on $Q$, (ii) for the second model the Lagrangian $f(Q)$ as a polynomial functional form, and (iii) the Lagrangian $f(Q)$ as a logarithmic dependence on $Q$. Furthermore, we use 57 points of Hubble data and 1048 Pantheon dataset to constraint the model parameters. Then, we discuss all the energy conditions for each model, which helps us to test the self-consistency of our models. Finally, we present the profiles of the equation of state parameters to test the models present status.
The paper presents late time cosmology in $f(Q,T)$ gravity where the dark energy is purely geometric in nature. We start by employing a well motivated $f(Q,T)$ gravity model, $f(Q,T)=mQ^{n}+bT$ where $m,n$ and $b$ are model parameters. Additionally we also assume the universe to be dominated by pressure-less matter which yields a power law type scale factor of the form $% a(t)=c_{2}(At+c_{1})^{frac{1}{A}}$, where $A=dfrac{3(8pi +b)}{n(16pi +3b)% }$ and $c_{1}$ & $c_{2}$ are just integration constants. To investigate the cosmological viability of the model, constraints on the model parameters were imposed from the updated 57 points of Hubble data sets and 580 points of union 2.1 compilation supernovae data sets. We have thoroughly investigated the nature of geometrical dark energy mimicked by the parametrization of $f(Q,T)=mQ^{n}+bT$ with the assistance of statefinder diagnostic in ${s,r}$ and ${q,r}$ planes and also performed the $Om$ -diagnostic analysis. The present analysis makes it clear-cut that $f(Q,T)$ gravity can be promising in addressing the current cosmic acceleration and therefore a suitable alternative to the dark energy problem. Further studies in other cosmological areas are therefore encouraging to further investigate the viability of $f(Q,T)$ gravity.
We studied bulk viscosity in the modified $f(Q,T)$ gravity theory formalism, where $Q$ represents the non-metricity and $T$ denotes the trace of energy-momentum tensor within a flat Friedmann-Lema^{i}tre-Robertson-Walker metric (FLRW). We consider the effective equation of state, which includes a bulk viscosity term explicitly. We find the exact solutions relating to bulk viscosity by assuming a specific form of $f(Q,T)=alpha Q+beta T$, where $alpha$ and $beta$ are constants. Furthermore, we constrained our model with revised Hubble datasets consisting of 57 data points and newly published Pantheon samples with 1048 points to obtain the best fitting values of the model parameters. Our model is found to be in good agreement with observations. Furthermore, we analysed the cosmological behavior of the density parameter, the equation of state (EoS) parameter ($omega$), and the deceleration parameter ($q$). The universe appears to be evolving from a decelerated to an accelerated phase. The EoS parameter is further found to be in the quintessence phase, indicating that the universe is accelerating. We can deduce that the accumulation of bulk viscosity as effective dark energy is responsible for the current accelerated expansion of the universe.
Cosmography is an ideal tool to investigate the cosmic expansion history of the Universe in a model-independent way. The equations of motion in modified theories of gravity are usually very complicated; cosmography may select practical models without imposing arbitrary choices a priori. We use the model-independent way to derive $f(z)$ and its derivatives up to fourth order in terms of measurable cosmographic parameters. We then fit those functions into the luminosity distance directly. We perform the MCMC analysis by considering three different sets of cosmographic functions. Using the largest supernovae Ia Pantheon sample, we derive the constraints on the Hubble constant $H_0$ and the cosmographic functions, and find that the former two terms in Taylor expansion of luminosity distance work dominantly in $f(Q)$ gravity.
A complete theory of gravity impels us to go beyond Einsteins General Relativity. One promising approach lies in a new class of teleparallel theory of gravity named $f(Q)$, where the nonmetricity $Q$ is responsible for the gravitational interaction. The important roles any of these alternative theories should obey are the energy condition constraints. Such constraints establish the compatibility of a given theory with the causal and geodesic structure of space-time. In this work, we present a complete test of energy conditions for $f(Q)$ gravity models. The energy conditions allowed us to fix our free parameters, restricting the families of $f(Q)$ models compatible with the accelerated expansion our Universe passes through. Our results straight the viability of $f(Q)$ theory, leading us close to the dawn of a complete theory for gravitation.
The current interests in the universe motivate us to go beyond Einsteins General theory of relativity. One of the interesting proposals comes from a new class of teleparallel gravity named symmetric teleparallel gravity, i.e., $f(Q)$ gravity, where the non-metricity term $Q$ is accountable for fundamental interaction. These alternative modified theories of gravitys vital role are to deal with the recent interests and to present a realistic cosmological model. This manuscripts main objective is to study the traversable wormhole geometries in $f(Q)$ gravity. We construct the wormhole geometries for three cases: (i) by assuming a relation between the radial and lateral pressure, (ii) considering phantom energy equation of state (EoS), and (iii) for a specific shape function in the fundamental interaction of gravity (i.e. for linear form of $f(Q)$). Besides, we discuss two wormhole geometries for a general case of $f(Q)$ with two specific shape functions. Then, we discuss the viability of shape functions and the stability analysis of the wormhole solutions for each case. We have found that the null energy condition (NEC) violates each wormhole model which concluded that our outcomes are realistic and stable. Finally, we discuss the embedding diagrams and volume integral quantifier to have a complete view of wormhole geometries.
