The cosmological evolution within the framework of exponential $F(R)$ gravity is analysed by assuming two forms for dark matter: (a) a standard dust-like fluid and (b) an axion scalar field. As shown in previous literature, an axion-like…

This article deals with a cosmological scenario in $ f(R,T) $ gravity for a flat FLRW model of the universe. We consider the $ f(R,T) $ function as $ f(R)+f(T) $ which starts with a quadratic correction of the geometric term $ f(R) $ having…

The accelerated expansion of the universe demands presence of an exotic matter, namely the dark energy. Though the cosmological constant fits this role very well, a scalar field minimally coupled to gravity, or quintessence, can also be…
