We investigate inflation in modified gravity framework by introducing a direct coupling term between a scalar field $\phi$ and the trace of the energy momentum tensor $T$ as $f(\phi,T) = 2 \phi( \kappa^{1/2} \alpha T + \kappa^{5/2} \beta…

In the context of modified gravity, we point out how the Palatini version of these theories is singled out as a very special case corresponding to the unique fixed point of a transformation involving a special conformal rescaling of the…
This thesis presents research exploring aspects of inflation and cosmology in the context of inflation models in which an inflaton is non-minimally coupled to the Ricci scalar, or is considered in conjunction with a term quadratic in the…
In this paper, we investigate the freezing quintessence scenario in late-time cosmic expansion using a non-linear $f(R, L_m)$ gravity model, $f(R,L_m)=\frac{R}{2}+L_m^\alpha$, where $\alpha$ is a free parameter. We consider a solution for…

We construct an analytic f(R) gravity model that unifies early-time inflation with late-time cosmic acceleration within a single covariant framework. At high curvature, the model reproduces a Starobinsky-like inflationary plateau, while at…
