We apply cosmological reconstruction methods to the $f(R,T)$ modified gravity, in its recently developed scalar-tensor representation. We do this analysis assuming a perfect fluid in a Friedmann-Lema\^{i}tre-Robsertson-Walker (FLRW)…

Recently it was shown that if the matter congruence of a general relativistic perfect fluid flow in an almost FLRW universe is shear-free, then it must be either expansion or rotation-free. Here we generalize this result for a general f(R)…

We show that within the class of f(R) gravity theories, FLRW power-law perfect fluid solutions only exist for R^n gravity. This significantly restricts the set of exact cosmological solutions which have similar properties to what is found…

In this review paper we present some basic notions about f(R) theories of gravity and some simple cosmological models derived from it. We first make an introduction to General Relativity (GR), followed by the discussion of…

We show that almost all metric--affine theories of gravity yield Einstein equations with a non--null cosmological constant $\Lambda$. Under certain circumstances and for any dimension, it is also possible to incorporate a Weyl vector field…

We report a symmetry property of the Einstein-Friedmann equations for spatially flat Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker universes filled with a perfect fluid with any constant equation of state. The symmetry transformations form a…

In this paper, we considered the study of Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) model in the framework of $f(Q,T)$ gravity, an extension of symmetric teleparallel gravity, recently defined by Y. Xu et al. \cite{Xu}. The non-linear model…

We study the classical and quantum models of a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) cosmology, coupled to a perfect fluid, in the context of the $f(R)$ gravity. Using the Schutz' representation for the perfect fluid, we show that, under a…

We discuss flat Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric-affine cosmology where the metric and connection as well as the matter energy-momentum and hypermomentum all obey the symmetry of spatial homogeneity and isotropy. In…

In this paper, we study the equation of state and its properties of the perfect fluid in the $D$-dimensional FRW universe under Einstein gravity, Gauss-Bonnet gravity and Lovelock gravity. In Einstein gravity, we get the equation of state…

We put forward the idea that all the theoretically consistent models of gravity have contributions to the observed gravity interaction. In this formulation, each model comes with its own Euclidean path-integral weight where general…

In this paper we use the conformal teleparallel gravity to study an isotropic and homogeneous Universe which is settled by the FRW metric. We solve the field equations and we obtain the behavior of some cosmological parameters such as scale…
