Aims. We investigated the gravitational effects of a scalar field within scalar-tensor gravity as an alternative to dark matter. Motivated by chameleon, symmetron and f(R)-gravity models, we studied a phenomenological scenario where the…

This paper rigorously examines the potential of the $f(T, \mathcal{T})$ theory as a promising framework for understanding the dark sector of the universe, particularly in relation to cosmic acceleration. The $f(T, \mathcal{T})$ theory…
We demonstrate how to describe in an unified way early and late-time acceleration in the context of mimetic $F(R)$ gravity. As we show, an exponential $F(R)$ gravity model has appealing features, with regard to unification, and we perform…
We consider a universe with a positive effective cosmological constant and a nonminimally coupled scalar field. When the coupling constant is negative, the scalar field exhibits linear growth at asymptotically late times, resulting in a…
The late-time acceleration of the universe remains one of the most significant open problems in modern cosmology. Modified gravity frameworks such as $f(T)$ gravity provide a geometric alternative to dark energy by attributing cosmic…
