We perform here a global analysis of the growth index $\gamma$ behaviour from deep in the matter era till the far future. For a given cosmological model in GR or in modified gravity, the value of $\gamma(\Omega_{m})$ is unique when the…
We have considered an action of the form $T+f(T)+L_m$ describing Einstein's gravity plus a function of the torsion scalar. By considering an exact power-law solution we have obtained the Friedmann equation as a differential equation for the…
We examine the evolution of universe in $f(R,T)$ gravity where $R$ is the Ricci curvature and $T$ is the trace of energy momentum tensor. We focus on the specific form $f(R,T) = R+f(T)$ and explicitly find out the relation between $f(T)$…

The growth of matter perturbations in the $f(R)$ model proposed by Starobinsky is studied in this paper. Three different parametric forms of the growth index are considered respectively and constraints on the model are obtained at both the…
We derive the analytic formula of the growth index for $f(R)$ dark energy model where the effect on the growth of matter density perturbation $\delta_m$ from modified gravity (MG) is encoded in the effective Newton coupling constant $G_{\rm…
A recent determination of the growth index indicates a value significantly higher than the $\Lambda$CDM prediction, suggesting that alternative scenarios to $\Lambda$CDM may be required. In this work, we investigate whether a time-varying…
We disclose the effects of an extra longitudinal degree of freedom on the evolution of perturbations in the framework of mimetic gravity. We consider a flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) background and explore the linear perturbations by…
This thesis explores the late-time cosmic acceleration within the framework of $f(R,T)$ gravity, a general relativity modification that incorporates the Ricci scalar $R$ and the trace of the energy-momentum tensor $T$. Motivated by…
A generic feature of viable $F(R)$ gravity is investigated: It is demonstrated that during the matter dominated era the large frequency oscillations of the effective dark energy may influence the behavior of higher derivatives of the Hubble…
This study explores the extension of teleparallel gravity within the framework of general relativity, introducing an algebraic function $f(T)$ dependent on the torsion scalar $T$. Motivated by the teleparallel formulation, we investigate…
The strongest evidence for dark energy comes presently from geometric techniques such as the supernova distance-redshift relation. By combining the measured expansion history with the Friedmann equation one determines the energy density and…
A type of exponential correction to General Relativity gives viable modified gravity model of dark energy. The model behaves as $R-2\Lambda$ at large curvature where an effective cosmological constant appears, but it becomes zero in flat…
Modified gravity (MG) theories predict, in general, that the ratio of gravitational wave (GW) to electromagnetic (EM) luminosity distances, $\Xi$, differs from its general relativity (GR) value of unity at cosmological scales, thus…
The growth rate of the large-scale structure of the universe has been advocated as the observable par excellence for testing gravity on cosmological scales. By considering linear-order deviations from General Relativity, we show that…
Several experiments in the near future will test dark energy through its effects on the linear growth of matter perturbations. It is therefore important to find simple and at the same time general parametrizations of the linear growth rate.…
The question of the origin of the recent acceleration of the Universes expansion is still pending. What is making the situation even worst, it is impossible to distinguish the vast majority of the proposed models of the dynamical dark…
We study the evolution of linear perturbations in metric f(R) models of gravity and identify a potentially observable characteristic scale-dependent pattern in the behavior of cosmological structures. While at the background level viable…
We consider predictions for structure formation from modifications to general relativity in which the Einstein-Hilbert action is replaced by a general function of the Ricci scalar. We work without fixing a gauge, as well as in explicit…
A large number of dark energy and modified gravity models lead to the same expansion history of the Universe, hence, making it difficult to distinguish them from observations. To make the calculations transparent, we consider $f(R)$ gravity…
