Abstract

In this study, we explore the cosmological implications of a modified gravity theory characterized by the function f(R,Σ,T) f(R, \Sigma, T) , where R R is the Ricci scalar, Σ \Sigma represents a geometric deformation term, and T T denotes the trace of the energy-momentum tensor. The model is reconstructed under the framework of three fundamental energy conditions: Null Energy Condition (NEC), Dominant Energy Condition (DEC), and Strong Energy Condition (SEC). We derive the corresponding Hubble parameter H(z) H(z) for each case and constrain the free parameters H0 H_0 , α \alpha , and β \beta using the latest Cosmic Chronometer (CC) and Pantheon+ Type Ia Supernova datasets. A thorough analysis of physical quantities such as pressure, energy density, and the equation of state parameter is carried out. Furthermore, diagnostic tools including the deceleration parameter q(z) q(z) , statefinder parameters {r,s} \{r, s\} , and the Om(z)O_m(z) diagnostic are employed to assess the models viability. Our findings suggest that the model can consistently describe late-time cosmic acceleration and offers distinct behavior under different energy conditions, all while aligning with current observational data.
