There is a host of alternative theories of gravitation in the literature, among them the $f(R,T)$ recently elaborated by Harko and collaborators. In these theories the $R$ and $T$ are respectively the Ricci scalar and the trace of the energy momentum tensor. There is already in literature a series of studies of different forms of the $f(R,T)$ functions as well as their cosmological consequences. However, there is not so far in the literature studies related to the gravitational waves in $f(R,T)$ gravity. Here we consider such an issue, in particular studying the putative extra polarization models that can well appear in such theories. To do that, we consider different functional forms for $f(R,T)$.

We point out that there are only three polarizations for gravitational waves in $f(R)$ gravity, and the polarization due to the massive scalar mode is a mix of the pure longitudinal and transverse breathing polarization. The classification of the six
polarizations by the Newman-Penrose quantities is based on weak, plane and null gravitational waves, so it is not applicable to the massive mode.
Currently, in order to explain the accelerated expansion phase of the universe, several alternative approaches have been proposed, among which the most common are dark energy models and alternative theories of gravity. Although these approaches rest
on very different physical aspects, it has been shown that both are in agreement with the data in the current status of cosmological observations, thus leading to an enormous degeneration between these models. So until evidences of higher experimental accuracy are available, more conservative model independent approaches are a useful tool for breaking this degenerated cosmological models picture. Cosmography as a kinematic study of the universe is the most popular candidate on this regard. Here we show how to construct the cosmographic equations for the f (R, T ) theory of gravity within a conservative scenario of this theory, where R is the Ricci curvature scalar and T is the trace of the energy-moment tensor. Such equations relate f(R,T) and its derivatives at the current time t0 to the cosmographic parameters q0, j0 and s0. In addition, we show how these equations can be written within different dark energy scenarios, thus helping to discriminate between them. We also show how different f(R,T) gravity models can be constrained using these cosmographic equations.
We give a rigorous and mathematically clear presentation of the Covariant and Gauge Invariant theory of gravitational waves in a perturbed Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker universe for Fourth Order Gravity, where the matter is described by a perfe
ct fluid with a barotropic equation of state. As an example of a consistent analysis of tensor perturbations in Fourth Order Gravity, we apply the formalism to a simple background solution of R^n gravity. We obtain the exact solutions of the perturbation equations for scales much bigger than and smaller than the Hubble radius. It is shown that the evolution of tensor modes is highly sensitive to the choice of n and an interesting new feature arises. During the radiation dominated era, their exist a growing tensor perturbation for nearly all choices of n. This occurs even when the background model is undergoing accelerated expansion as opposed to the case of General Relativity. Consequently, cosmological gravitational wave modes can in principle provide a strong constraint on the theory of gravity independent of other cosmological data sets.
We discuss the scalar mode of gravitational waves emerging in the context of $F(R)$ gravity by taking into account the chameleon mechanism. Assuming a toy model with a specific matter distribution to reproduce the environment of detection experiment
by a ground-based gravitational wave observatory, we find that chameleon mechanism remarkably suppresses the scalar wave in the atmosphere of Earth, compared with the tensor modes of the gravitational waves. We also discuss the possibility to detect and constrain scalar waves by the current gravitational observatories and advocate a necessity of the future space-based observations.
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 th
e 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.
