Modified theories of gravity encompass a class of $f(R)$-models that seek to elucidate the observed late time accelerated expansion of the universe. In this study, we examine a set of viable $f(R)$ models (Hu-Sawicki: two cases,…
This thesis explores the cosmological implications of modified gravity, focusing on nonmetricity-based $f(Q)$ gravity as an alternative to the $\Lambda$CDM model in explaining cosmic acceleration. Chapter I lays the theoretical groundwork…
The correspondence between $f(R)$ theories of gravity and model theories explaining induced dark energy in a 5D Ricci-flat universe, known as the Space-Time-Matter theory (STM), is studied. It is shown that such correspondence may be used…
In this paper, using $f(R)$ theory of gravity we explicitly calculate cosmological evolution in the presence of a perfect fluid source in four and five dimensional, space time in which this cosmological evolution in self-creation is…
We discuss two aspects of f(R) theories of gravity in metric formalism. We first study the reasons to introduce a scalar-tensor representation for these theories and the behavior of this representation in the limit to General Relativity,…
New corrections to General Relativity are considered in the context of modified $f(R)$ gravity, that satisfy cosmological and local gravity constraints. The proposed models behave asymptotically as $R-2\Lambda$ at large curvature and show…
In this research work, we explore the late-time accelerated expansion of the universe within the framework of modified gravity, specifically $f(R, L_m)$ theory, by considering two non-linear models: $f(R, L_{m}) = \frac{R}{2}+(1+\eta R)…
In five dimensional cosmological models, the convention is to include the fifth dimension in a way similar to the other space dimensions. In this work we attempt to introduce the fifth dimension in a way that a time dimension would be…
The current transit universe model is a precise solution to the equations of a new type of gravity theory called metric-affine $f(R,T,Q,T_m)$ gravity proposed in [Herko et al. \textit{Phys. Dark Univ.} \textbf{34} (2021) 100886]. This…

In this article we present a possibility of imposing the unimodular condition within the 5-dimensional Kaluza-Klein theory including the scalar field. Unimodular gravity became an object of increasing interest in the late 80-ties; and was…
In this letter we investigate some consequences of considering our 4D observable universe as locally and isometrically embeded into a 5D spacetime, where gravity is described by a Brans-Dicke theory in vacuum. Once we impose the embeding…
A series of old and recent theoretical observations suggests that the quantization of gravity would be feasible, and some problems of Quantum Field Theory would go away if, somehow, the spacetime would undergo a dimensional reduction at…
The Cosmological Problem is considered in a five-dimensional (bulk) manifold with two time coordinates, obeying vacuum Einstein field equations. The evolution formalism is used there, in order to get a simple form of the resulting…
