$f(Q,T)$ 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.

Gravity is attributed to the spacetime curvature in classical General Relativity (GR). But, other equivalent formulation or representations of GR, such as torsion or non-metricity have altered the perception. We consider the Weyl-type $f(Q, T)$ gravi ty, where $Q$ represents the non-metricity and $T$ is the trace of energy momentum temsor, in which the vector field $omega_{mu}$ determines the non-metricity $Q_{mu u alpha}$ of the spacetime. In this work, we employ the well-motivated $f(Q, T)= alpha Q+ frac{beta}{6k^{2}} T$, where $alpha$ and $beta$ are the model parameters. Furthermore, we assume that the universe is dominated by the pressure-free matter, i.e. the case of dust ($p=0$). We obtain the solution of field equations similar to a power-law in Hubble parameter $H(z)$. We investigate the cosmological implications of the model by constraining the model parameter $alpha$ and $beta$ using the recent 57 points Hubble data and 1048 points Pantheon supernovae data. To study various dark energy models, we use statefinder analysis to address the current cosmic acceleration. We also observe the $Om$ diagnostic describing various phases of the universe. Finally, it is seen that the solution which mimics the power-law fits well with the Pantheon data better than the Hubble data.
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 w e 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.
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 an d $eta$ 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.
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 direct detection of gravitational waves (GWs) opened a new chapter in the modern cosmology to probe possible deviations from the general relativity (GR) theory. In the present work, we investigate for the first time the modified GW form propagati on from the inspiraling of compact binary systems within the context of $f(T)$ gravity in order to obtain new forecasts/constraints on the free parameter of the theory. First, we show that the modified waveform differs from the GR waveform essentially due to induced corrections on the GWs amplitude. Then, we discuss the forecasts on the $f(T)$ gravity assuming simulated sources of GWs as black hole binaries, neutron star binaries and black hole - neutron star binary systems, which emit GWs in the frequency band of the Advanced LIGO (aLIGO) interferometer and of the third generation Einstein Telescope (ET). We show that GWs sources detected within the aLIGO sensitivity can return estimates of the same order of magnitude of the current cosmological observations. On the other hand, detection within the ET sensitivity can improve by up to 2 orders of magnitude the current bound on the $f(T)$ gravity. Therefore, the statistical accuracy that can be achieved by future ground based GW observations, mainly with the ET detector (and planed detectors with a similar sensitivity), can allow strong bounds on the free parameter of the theory, and can be decisive to test the theory of gravitation.
