Two forms are suggested for the energy-momentum source term associated with an aggregate of dark matter (with the properties described in Paper I). Both have large pressure-like components which dominate the density terms. Using one form a…
In this study, we first establish that gravity models incorporating matter-related terms, such as $f(\mathcal{L}_{\rm m})$, $f(g_{\mu\nu} T^{\mu\nu})$, and $f(T_{\mu\nu} T^{\mu\nu})$, into the usual matter Lagrangian density…
