The energy conditions are derived in the context of $f(R,T)$ gravity, where $R$ is the Ricci scalar and $T$ is the trace of the energy-momentum tensor, which can reduce to the well-known conditions in $f(R)$ gravity and general relativity.…
The Palatini $f(R,T)$ gravity theory is considered. The standard Einstein-Hilbert action is replaced by an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar $R$ and of the trace $T$ of the energy-momentum tensor. In the Palatini approach, the Ricci…
In this paper, $f(R,\lm, T)$ gravity is considered. It is a generalization of the theories $f(R,T)$ and $f(R, \lm)$. This modified theory of gravity exhibits strong geometry-matter coupling. The problem of causality and its violation is…
We developed the cosmological linear theory of perturbations for $f(Q,T)$ gravity, which is an extension of symmetric teleparallel gravity, with $Q$ the non-metricity and $T$ the trace of the stress-energy tensor. By considering an ansatz…

It is known that in f(R) theories of gravity with an independent connection which can be both non-metric and non symmetric, this connection can always be algebraically eliminated in favour of the metric and the matter fields, so long as it…
We argue that the recent result of da Rocha and Rodrigues that in two dimensional spacetime the Lagrangian of tetrad gravity is an exact differential [1], despite the claim of the authors, neither proves the Jackiw conjecture [2], nor…

We investigate the cosmological applications of $F(T,T_G)$ gravity, which is a novel modified gravitational theory based on the torsion invariant $T$ and the teleparallel equivalent of the Gauss-Bonnet term $T_{G}$. $F(T,T_{G})$ gravity…
This paper studies a generic fourth-order theory of gravity with Lagrangian density $f(R,R_c^2,R_m^2, \mathscr{L}_m)$. By considering explicit $R^2$ dependence and imposing the "coherence condition" $f_{R^2}\!=\!f_{R_m^2}\!=\!…
We show that the well-known problem of frame dependence and violation of local Lorentz invariance in the usual formulation of $f(T)$ gravity is a consequence of neglecting the role of spin connection. We re-formulate $f(T)$ gravity…
This paper aims to recreate the gravitational baryogenesis epoch in the framework of the $f(R,L_m)$ theory of gravity, where $R$ and $L_m$ are the curvature scalar and the matter Langragian, respectively. In particular, we examine the…
We derive the full set of field equations for the Metric-Affine version of the Myrzakulov gravity model and also extend this family of theories to a broader one. More specifically, we consider theories whose gravitational Lagrangian is…
In this paper, we shall consider $f(R)$ gravity and its cosmological implications, when an extra matter term generated by thermal effects is added by hand in the Lagrangian. We formulate the equations of motion of the theory as a dynamical…
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…
In this work, two originally separate adjustments for the Friedmann equations are concurrently considered. Firstly, the fractal structure of the black hole horizon region is imposed by the Barrow entropy. The second adjustment is the…
