We investigate the modified $F(R)$ gravity theory with the function $F(R) = (1-\sqrt{1-2\lambda R-\sigma (\lambda R)^2})/\lambda$. The action is converted into Einstein$-$Hilbert action at small values of $\lambda$ and $\sigma$. The local…
We propose a new model of gravity where the Ricci scalar (R) in Einstein-Hilbert action is replaced by an arbitrary function of R and of the norm of energy-momentum tensor i.e., $f(R,T_{\mu\nu}T^{\mu\nu})$. Field equations are derived in…
