We examine Friedmann-Robertson-Walker models in three spacetime dimensions. The matter content of the models is composed of a perfect fluid, with a $\gamma$-law equation of state, and a homogeneous scalar field minimally coupled to gravity…

We investigate the cosmological implications of a new class of modified gravity, where the field equations generically include higher-order derivatives of the matter fields, arising from the introduction of non-dynamical auxiliary fields in…

We consider a simplified model of quantum gravity using a mini-superspace description of an isotropic and homogeneous universe with dust. We derive the corresponding Friedmann equations for the scale factor, which now contain a dependence…

Motivated by the growing interest in the nonmetricity-matter couplings, we develop the scalar-tensor formulation of recently introduced $f(Q,T)$ gravity, where $Q$ is the nonmetricity and $T$ is the trace of the energy-momentum tensor. The…
