Teleparallel description of gravity theories where the gravity is mediated through the tetrad field and consequent torsion provide an alternative route to explain the late time cosmic speed up issue. Generalization of the teleparallel gravity theory with different functional forms of the torsion scalar $T$ leads to $f(T)$ gravity. The role of scalar field played in addressing issues in cosmology and astrophysics has developed an interest in the inclusion of a scalar field along with an interaction potential in the action. Such a generalized gravity theory is dubbed as $f(T,\phi)$ theory. We have explored such a gravity theory to reconstruct the interaction potential of the scalar field required for an extended matter bounce scenario. The cosmological implications of the reconstructed scalar field potential are studied considering two viable and well known functional forms of $f(T,\phi)$. The energy conditions of these model are discussed to assess the viability of the cosmological models., Comment: 14 pages, 15 figures, accepted version of Eur. Phys. J. C

We investigate the cosmic evolution of the Universe across different cosmological epochs in exponential Weyl-type $f(Q, T)$ gravity model. The theoretical analysis involves a detailed dynamical system approach, where we define dimensionless variables and derive a system of linear differential equations to identify critical points corresponding to the radiation, matter and de Siter phase. The findings show the transition from deceleration to acceleration phase, with stable and unstable critical points characterizing different phases of the evolution. In the second approach, we validate the theoretical predictions by using observational data from Cosmic Chronometers ($CC$) and $Pantheon^+$ datasets. We constrain the Hubble parameter and subsequently analysed the other cosmological and geometrical parameters. In this approach also, the transition from deceleration to acceleration has been confirmed, with the equation of state (EoS) parameter approaching $\Lambda$CDM at late times. The further validate this, we present the behaviour of state finder pair. We obtain the age of the Universe $13.81$ Gyr according to $CC$ data and $13.96$ Gyr with the $Pantheon^+$ dataset. The model behaviour in both the approaches shows strong agreement in the late-time behavior of the Universe. The evolutionary behaviour of Hubble parameter and distance modulus, reinforcing the reliability of the Weyl-type $f(Q, T)$ gravity model in describing the expansion history of Universe., Comment: 17 pages, 18 figures

In this study, we investigate traversable wormhole solutions within the setup of $f(R,\mathcal{L}_{m})$ gravity, a modified theory of gravity where the gravitational action relies upon the matter Lagrangian $\mathcal{L}_{m}$ and the Ricci scalar $R$. In General Relativity (GR), stability issues in traversable wormholes necessitate the existence of exotic matter that violates the null energy condition (NEC). In contrast, we explore wormhole solutions that align with the criteria for Casimir wormholes, which do not necessarily require NEC violation. Our analysis demonstrates that in the context of $f(R,\mathcal{L}_{m})$ gravity, exotic matter can sustain these wormholes. We further examine the traversability conditions of the wormhole, considering both scenarios with and without the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) correction. Additionally, the stability of the wormhole is assessed based on equilibrium conditions. Our findings suggest that $f(R,\mathcal{L}_{m})$ gravity offers a viable framework for the existence of stable, traversable wormholes sustained by exotic matter, potentially expanding the landscape of viable wormhole solutions beyond the confines of GR., Comment: 11 pages, 10 figures

This study effectively reconstructs a cosmological model utilizing covariant $f(Q)$ gravity within Connection-III and FLRW spacetime. The dynamic behavior of the reconstructed model is thoroughly analyzed using the Hubble parameter $H(z)$ and various observational datasets. Our robust findings demonstrate that the model displays quintessence behavior at the present epoch and converges to the $\Lambda$CDM model at late time. It is confirmed through comprehensive evaluations against energy conditions that the Null Energy Condition remains positive throughout cosmic evolution, and the Dominant Energy Condition is consistently satisfied. The Strong Energy Condition is initially fulfilled in the early Universe but violated in the late epoch. Moreover, scalar perturbations extensively assess stability, affirming the strength of the model with respect to the Hubble parameter. This research offers compelling insights into cosmic acceleration, suggesting that $f(Q)$ gravity can effectively displace the $\Lambda$CDM model and provides a convincing alternative explanation for the current accelerating expansion of the Universe without relying on the cosmological constant., Comment: 11 pages, 4 figures

In this work, we present a method for numerically solving the Friedmann equations of modified $f(\mathcal{G})$ gravity in the presence of pressureless matter. This method enables us to predict the redshift behaviour of the Hubble expansion rate. To evaluate the credibility of the model, we applied a Bayesian MCMC technique using late-time cosmic observations to impose limitations on the free parameters of the Gauss-Bonnet model. Our results suggest that the $f(\mathcal{G})$ model can reproduce the low-redshift behaviour of the standard Lambda cold dark matter ($\Lambda$CDM) model, but there are significant differences at high redshifts, leading to the absence of a standard matter-dominated epoch. We also examined the profiles of cosmographic parameters using the model parameter values from the standard range to verify the intermediate epochs. Our analysis shows that the highly promising $f(\mathcal{G})$ model is a feasible candidate for explaining the current epochs. We presented a dynamical system analysis framework to examine the stability of the model. Our study identified critical points depicting various phases of the Universe and explained the evolutionary epochs. We demonstrated that the model effectively captures the evolution of energy components over cosmic time, supporting its validity as an alternate explanation for the observed acceleration of the Universe., Comment: 11 pages, 9 figures

In this paper, we have outlined the development of an autonomous dynamical system within a general scalar-tensor gravity framework. This framework encompasses the overall structure of the non-minimally coupled scalar field functions for both the torsion scalar ($T$) and the boundary term ($B$). We have examined three well-motivated forms of potential functions and constrained the model parameters through dynamical system analysis. This analysis has played a crucial role in identifying cosmologically viable models. We have analysed the behaviour of dynamical parameters such as equation-of-state parameters for dark energy and the total, as well as all the standard density parameters for radiation, matter, and dark energy to assess their compatibility with current observational data. The phase space diagrams are presented to support the stability conditions of the corresponding critical points. The Universe is apparent in its late-time cosmic acceleration phase via the dark energy-dominated critical points. Additionally, we compare our findings with the most prevailing $\Lambda$CDM model. The outcomes are further inspected using the cosmological data sets of Supernovae Ia and the Hubble rate H(z)., Comment: 30 pages, 18 figures, 5 tables

In this work, we consider the corrections to the cosmological models based on the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity induced by the non-minimal coupling between scalar field and torsion. To determine these corrections, we consider a power-law parametrization of the deviations between the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity and the scalar-torsion gravity. The estimates of the possible influence of the non-minimal coupling of the scalar field and torsion on the background cosmological parameters and the parameters of cosmological perturbations for the inflationary models implying linear relation between tensor-to-scalar ratio and spectral index of the scalar perturbations are obtained. A procedure for verifying these inflationary models based on observational constraints on the values of cosmological perturbation parameters is also considered., Comment: 12 pages, 1 figure

In this paper, we have investigated the phase space analysis in modified Galileon cosmology, where the Galileon term is considered a coupled scalar field, $F(\phi)$. We focus on the exponential type function of $F(\phi)$ and the three well-motivated potential functions $V(\phi)$. We obtain the critical points of the autonomous system, along with their stability conditions and cosmological properties. The critical points of the autonomous system describe different phases of the Universe. In the results of our analysis, we have found the scaling solution for critical points, which determine different evolutionary eras for the Universe. The dark-energy-dominated critical points show stable behavior and indicate the Universe's late-time cosmic acceleration phase. Further, the results are examined with the cosmological data sets of the Hubble rate $H(z)$ and the Supernovae Ia., Comment: 41 pages, 28 figures, Accepted version Class. Quantum Grav

In the paper, we present an accelerating cosmological model in $f(R,\mathcal{L}_{m})$ gravity with the parameter constrained through the cosmological data sets. At the beginning, we have employed a functional form of $f(R,\mathcal{L}_{m}) =\frac{R}{2}+\alpha R^2+\mathcal{L}_{m}^\beta$, where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are model parameters. This model is well motivated from the Starobinsky model in $f(R)$ gravity and the power law form of $f(\mathcal{L}_{m})$. The Hubble parameter has been derived with some algebraic manipulation and constrained by Hubble data and Pantheon$^{+}$ data. With the constraint parameters, present value of deceleration parameter has been obtained to as $q_{0}\approx-0.63$ with the transition at $z_{t}\approx0.7$. It shows the early deceleration and late time acceleration behaviour. The present value of other geometric parameters such as the jerk and snap parameter are obtained to be $j_{0}\approx0.78$ and $s_{0}\approx 0.1$ respectively. The state finder diagnostic test gives the quintessence behaviour at present and converging to $\Lambda$CDM at late times. Moreover the $Om(z)$ diagnostics gives negative slope which shows that the model favours the state finder diagnostic result. Also the current age of Universe has been obtained as, $t_{0} = 13.64~~Gyrs$. The equation of state parameter also shows the quintessence behaviour. Based on the present analysis, it indicates that the $f(R,\mathcal{L}_{m})$ gravitational theory may be another alternative to study the dark energy models., Comment: 12 pages, 10 figures

Assuming static and spherically symmetric stars with perfect fluid matter, we used realistic equations of state to study neutron stars in covariant $f(Q)$ gravity. The structure profiles and properties of neutron stars such as mass, radius and compactness are obtained through numerical methods using quadratic, exponential, and logarithmic $f(Q)$ models. The results indicate that nonmetricity affects the interior profile deviations of the star, which in turn influence the properties of stars, as illustrated in the mass-radius relation diagram. This effect allows the star to accommodate either more or less matter compared to GR, resulting in a different total mass. For the quadratic model, we cannot generate larger masses, whereas the other two models can give consistent results for both smaller and larger masses of the observed stars. By tuning model parameters, we obtain $\mathcal{M}-\mathcal{R}$ diagrams that are compatible with observational constraints from NICER and LIGO., Comment: 29 pages, 36 figures

In this paper, we investigate the role of scalar field potentials in the dynamical evolution of the Universe. A gravity theory with a non-minimally coupled scalar field with torsion in the geometrical action simulating effective dark energy is considered to study an extended matter bounce scenario. The dynamical behaviour of the equation of state parameter has been studied near the bouncing epoch. Keeping in mind the inflationary behaviour near the bounce, five different scalar field potential functions are explored, and their effect on the equation of state parameter is investigated., Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, Constructive comments are welcome

In the paper, only Static Spherically Symmetric space-times in four dimensions are considered within modified gravity models. The non-singular static metrics, including black holes not admitting a de Sitter core in the center and traversable wormholes, are reconsidered within a class of higher-order $F(R)$, satisfying the constraints $F(0)=\frac{dF}{dR}(0)=0$. Furthermore, by making use of the so-called effective field theory formulation of gravity, the quantum corrections to Einstein-Hilbert's action due to higher-derivative terms related to curvature invariants are investigated. In particular, in the case of Einstein-Hilbert action plus cubic curvature Goroff-Sagnotti contribution, the second-order correction in the Goroff-Sagnotti coupling constant is computed. In general, it is shown that the effective metrics, namely Schwarzschild expression plus small quantum corrections, are related to black holes and not to traversable wormholes. In this framework, within the approximation considered, the resolution of singularity for $r=0$ is not accomplished. The related properties of these solutions are investigated., Comment: 21 pages, 0 figure

In this paper, we have presented a power law cosmological model and its dynamical system analysis in $f(T,\phi)$ gravity, where $T$ is the torsion scalar and $\phi$ is the canonical scalar field. The two well-motivated forms of the non-minimal coupling function $F(\phi)$, the exponential form and the power law form, with exponential potential function, are investigated. The dynamical system analysis is performed by establishing the dimensionless dynamical variables, and the critical points were obtained. The evolution of standard density parameters is analysed for each case. The behaviour of the equation of state (EoS) and deceleration parameter show agreement with the result of cosmological observations. The model parameters are constrained using the existence and the stability conditions of the critical points describing different epochs of the evolution of the Universe., Comment: 17 pages, 8 figures, constructive comments appreciated

In this work, we explore the cosmological stability of $f(Q, B)$ gravity using a dynamical system approach, where $Q$ denotes the nonmetricity scalar and $B$ represents the boundary term. We determine the model parameters of $f(Q, B)$ through Bayesian statistical analysis, employing Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques. This analysis incorporates numerical solutions and observational data from Cosmic Chronometers (CC), the extended Pantheon$^+$ dataset, and Baryonic Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) measurements. Our findings reveal a stable critical point within the dynamical system of the model, corresponding to the de Sitter phase, which is consistent with current observations of the Universe dominated by dark energy (DE) and undergoing late-time accelerated expansion. Additionally, we utilize Centre Manifold Theory to examine the stability of this critical point, providing deeper insights into the behavior of the model. The cosmological implications of $f(Q, B)$ gravity indicate a smooth transition in the deceleration parameters from deceleration to acceleration phase, underscoring the potential of the model to describe the evolution of the Universe. Our results suggest that the $f(Q, B)$ model presents a viable alternative to the standard $\Lambda$CDM model, effectively capturing the observed acceleration of the Universe and offering a robust framework for explaining the dynamics of cosmic expansion., Comment: 14 pages, 7 figures

Morris and Thorne developed wormhole solutions in the late 1980s when they discovered a recipe that wormholes must follow for travelers to cross them safely. They describe exotic matter as satisfying $-p_{r} > \rho$, where $p_{r}$ is the radial pressure and $\rho$ is the energy density of the wormhole. This is a notable characteristic of the General Relativity Theory. The current article discusses traversable wormhole solutions in $f(R, L, T)=R+\alpha L+\beta T$, with $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are model parameters. The wormhole solutions presented here satisfy the metric constraints of traversability while remarkably avoiding the exotic matter condition, indicating that $f(R, L, T)$ gravity wormholes can be filled with ordinary matter. The derived solutions for the shape function of the wormhole meet the required metric conditions. They exhibit behavior that is comparable to that of wormholes reported in earlier references, which is also the case for our solutions for the energy density of such objects., Comment: 5 Pages, 4 figures

Using the cosmological date sets, the cosmological parameters are constrained in this paper, with some well known form of Hubble parameter. To understand the dynamics of the Weyl type $f(Q,T)$, functional form $f(Q,T)$ has been introduced, where $Q$ and $T$ respectively represents the nonmetricity scalar and trace of energy-momentum tensor. Using the constrained values of the parameters, the other geometrical parameters are analysed and the accelerating behaviour has been shown. Further to get the complete evolutionary behaviour of the Universe, the dynamical system analysis has been performed., Comment: 17 pages, 7 figures, 4 tables. Suggestions and comments are welcome

In this paper, we have explored the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe to constrain the model parameters in extended symmetric teleparallel gravity (STG) or $f(Q,T)$ gravity, where $Q$ be the nonmetricity and $T$ be the trace of energy momentum tensor. We have considered two functional forms of $f(Q,T)$ to find the baryon asymmetry to entropy ratio calculated at a decoupling temperature. Two different data sets namely Hubble data set and the Hubble+BAO+Pantheon data sets are used to constrain the scale factor and the constrained model is used to obtain the baryon asymmetry to entropy ratio. It is observed that, model constrained from the Hubble data set favour a narrow range of the $f(Q,T)$ gravity parameters to reproduce the observed baryon asymmetry., Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, Accepted for publication in Gravitation and Cosmology.

The evolutionary behavior of the Universe has been analysed through the dynamical system analysis in $f(T,B,T_G,B_G)$ gravity, where $T$, $B$, $T_G$, and $B_G$ respectively represent torsion, boundary term, teleparallel Gauss-Bonnet term and Gauss-Bonnet boundary term. We use the transformation, $f(T,B,T_G,B_G)=-T+\mathcal{F}(T, B, T_G, B_G)$ in order to obtain the deviation from the Teleparallel Equivalent of General Relativity (TEGR). Two cosmological models pertaining to the functional form of $\mathcal{F}(T, B, T_G, B_G)$ have been studied. The well motivated forms are: (i) $\mathcal{F}(T, B, T_G, B_G) = f_{0} T^{m} B^{n}T_{G}^{k}$ and (ii) $\mathcal{F}(T, B, T_G, B_G)=b_{0} B + g_{0} T_{G}^{k} $. The evolutionary phases of the Universe have been identified through the detailed analysis of the critical points. Further, with the eigenvalues and phase space diagrams, the stability and attractor nature of the accelerating solution have been explored. The evolution plots have been analyzed for the corresponding cosmology and compatibility with the present observed value of standard density parameters have been shown., Comment: 17 pages, 4 figures, 6 tables.

This study simulates strange stars in $f(Q)$ gravity with an additional source under an electric field using gravitational decoupling and the complete Gravitational Decoupling (CGD) technique. By employing the Tolman ansatz and the MIT bag model equation of state (EOS), we explore bounded star configurations derived from the $\theta_0^0 = \rho$ and $\theta_1^1 = p_r$ sectors within the CGD formalism. Our models are subjected to physical viability tests, and we analyze the impact of anisotropy and the electric charge parameter $E_0$ as well as the coupling parameters $\alpha$ and $\beta_1$. Comparisons are made with observational constraints, including GW190814, neutron stars PSR J1614-2230, PSR J1903+6620, Cen X-3 and LMC X-4. Notably, we achieve the presence of a lower "\textit{mass gap}" component by adjusting parameters $\alpha$ and $\beta_1$. Our models exhibit well-behaved mass profiles, internal regularity, and stability, with the absence of gravitational collapse verified through the Buchdahl--Andr\'{e}asson's limit. In addition, we present a detailed physical analysis based on three parameters, $\alpha$ (decoupling strength), $\beta_1$ ($f(Q)$--coupling) and $Q$ (surface charge). This study provides insights into the behavior of compact objects in $f(Q)$ gravity and expands our understanding of strange star configurations within this framework., Comment: 18 pages, 18 figures, Accepted version Monthly Notices of Royal Astronomical Society

The $f(Q,T)$ cosmological model has emerged as a promising framework for understanding various aspects of cosmic evolution. In this study, we focused on obtaining the constraints of the free parameters in the non-linear form of non-metricity in $f(Q,T)$ gravity using the $Hubble$, $Pantheon$, and $BAO$ datasets. To determine the best-fit values for the model parameters and the equation of state (EoS) parameter, we employed an MCMC analysis. By examining the error bar plots, we observed that both the model curve and the $\Lambda$CDM curve successfully passed through the range obtained from the datasets. Additionally, we studied the state finder diagnostics and energy conditions to gain insights into the properties of the model. Furthermore, we conducted an analysis using the $Om(z)$ diagnostic, which provides a null test for the validity of the $\Lambda$CDM model., Comment: 11 pages, 7 figures

We have constructed a dark energy cosmological model in the framework of generalized Brans Dicke theory (GBD) with a self-interacting potential. The source of dark energy is considered through a unified dark fluid (UDF) characterized by a linear equation of state (EoS). A time varying deceleration parameter simulating the cosmic transit behaviour has been introduced to get the dynamical behaviour of the model. The $H(z)$ data have been explored to constrain the model parameters and to study the dynamical aspects of the Brans-Dicke parameter and the scalar field., Comment: 13 pages, accepted version of Gravitation and Cosmology

An extended gravity theory is used to explore the possibility of non-exotic matter traversable wormholes. In the extended gravity theory, additional terms linear and quadratic in the trace of the energy momentum tensor are considered in the Einstein-Hilbert action. Obviously, such an addition leads to violation of the energy-momentum tensor. The model parameters are constrained from the structure of the field equations. Non-exotic matter wormholes tend to satisfy the null energy conditions. We use two different traversable wormhole geometries namely an exponential and a power law shape functions to model the wormholes. From a detailed analysis of the energy conditions, it is found that, the existence of non-exotic matter traversable wormholes is not obvious in the model considered and its possibility may depend on the choice of the wormhole geometry. Also, we found that, non-exotic wormholes are possible within the given squared trace extended gravity theory for a narrow range of the chosen equation of state parameter., Comment: 12 pages, 8 figures

Quantum mechanical concept such as the Casimir effect is explored to model traversable wormholes in an extended teleparallel gravity theory. The minimal length concept leading to the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) is used to obtain the Casimir energy density. The effect of the GUP correction in the geometrical and physical properties of traversable Casimir wormholes are investigated. It is noted that the GUP correction has a substantial effect on the wormhole geometry and it modifies the energy condition. From a detailed calculation of the exotic matter content of the GUP corrected Casimir wormhole, it is shown that, a minimal amount of exotic matter is sufficient to support the stability of the wormhole., Comment: 14 pages, 7 figures

In this paper, we present an accelerating cosmological model by constraining the free parameters using the cosmological datasets in an extended symmetric teleparallel gravity for the flat and anisotropic space-time. We employ a time variable deceleration parameter that behaves early deceleration and late time acceleration in the form of Hybrid Scale Factor (HSF). We obtain the present values of deceleration parameter and analyse the late time behavior of the Universe based on the best-fit values of free parameters. We derive the dynamical parameters of the model and obtain the equation of state parameter at present in the quintessence region; however at late time it approaches to $\Lambda$CDM. The energy conditions are also analysed to validate the modified gravity and we find that strong energy condition is violating. We establish the importance of hybrid scale factor in the late time cosmic phenomena issue., Comment: Annalen Der Physik published version

In this paper, we perform the dynamical system analysis of the cosmological models framed in the extended teleparallel gravity, the $f (T, B)$ gravity. We use the mapping, $f(T, B)$ $\rightarrow$-$T$+$\tilde{f}(T, B)$, and define the dynamical variables to form the autonomous dynamical system. The critical points are obtained in two well-motivated forms of $f (T, B)$, one that involves the logarithmic form of the boundary term B, and the other one is the non-linear form of the boundary term. The position of critical points is shown in the different evolutionary phases of the Universe such as radiation, matter, and de-Sitter phase. The stability condition of each of the critical points of both the models is derived and the behavior of each point has been obtained mathematically and through the phase portrait. The evolution of standard density parameters such as radiation ($\Omega_{r}$), matter ($\Omega_{m}$), and dark energy ($\Omega_{DE}$) are also analyzed. Further to connect with the present cosmological scenario, the behavior of deceleration and equation of state parameter both in the dark energy phase ($\omega_{DE}$) and total ($\omega_{tot}$) are shown from the initial condition of the dynamical variables. The accelerating behaviour has been obtained for both models., Comment: 15 pages, 10 figures, 8 tables

In this paper, we have presented an accelerating cosmological model of the Universe in an extended symmetric teleparallel gravity or $f(Q,T)$ gravity. The parametric form of the Hubble parameter is, $H\left(z\right) =H_{0}\left[ \alpha +\left( 1-\alpha \right) \left( 1+z\right) ^{n}\right] ^{\frac{3}{2n}}$, where $H_0$ and $n$ are constants and for $n=3$, the $\Lambda$CDM scenario can be obtained. We have considered the logarithmic form of $f(Q,T)$ as, $f(Q,T)=-Q+\beta \log\left(\frac{Q}{Q_{0}}\right)+\gamma T$, where $\beta $ and $\gamma $ are the free model parameters. Using the Hubble, Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO), and Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) datasets, the present value of the Hubble parameter and other free parameters are constrained. Further other cosmographic and dynamical parameters are presented using the obtained constrained values of the Hubble and free parameters. The model shows the quintessence behavior of the Universe at the present time. The present value of the EoS parameter is obtained as, $\omega_{0}=-0.56$ for the $Hubble+BAO+SNe$ datasets. The energy conditions are presented and the violation of the strong energy condition has been shown. We have performed the dynamical system analysis to validate the stability of the model. From the evolutionary plot obtained through the dynamical system variables, the present value of density parameters have been obtained as $\Omega_m\approx0.3$ and $\Omega_{de}\approx0.7$., Comment: Nuclear Physics B published version

In this paper, we have studied the dynamical aspects of the cosmological model of the Universe in the Weyl type $f(Q,T)$ gravity, which is an extension of symmetric teleparallel gravity. The non-metricity scalar $Q$ has been expressed in standard Weyl form and can be determined by a vector field $w_{\mu}$ and the trace of energy momentum tensor denoted as $T$. The logarithmic form of the Hubble parametrization has been incorporated and the best fit values of the free parameters have been determined using $32~CC$ sample points, $1701~Pantheon^{+}$ and $6~BAO$ data points. The present value of the $H_{0}\approx 70.2\pm 4.6$, $H_{0}\approx 68.69_{-0.59}^{+0.67}$ and $H_{0}\approx 69.26_{-0.53}^{+0.57}$ respectively for $CC~Sample$, $CC + Pantheon^{+}$ and $CC + Pantheon^{+} + BAO$ datasets. With the constrained values of the free parameters, the cosmographic parameters are constrained and the present value of each parameter has been noted. The deceleration parameter for $CC~Sample$, $CC + Pantheon^{+}$ and $CC + Pantheon^{+} + BAO$ datasets provides $-0.5221$, $-0.5477$ and $-0.5691$ respectively at present time. We have considered exponential and non-linear form of the Weyl type function $f(Q,T)$ to assess the dynamical behaviour of the model. The accelerating cosmological models show the quintessence behaviour at present time as we get the present EoS parameter values obtained as $\omega\approx -0.7068$ and $\omega\approx -0.6828$ for $CC~Sample$, $\omega\approx -0.6991$ and $-0.6949$ for $CC + Pantheon^{+}$ and $\omega\approx -0.7001$ and $-0.7084$ for $CC + Pantheon^{+} + BAO$ respectively., Comment: 14 pages, 11 Figures.

The stable critical points and their corresponding cosmology are derived in the teleparallel gravity with an added Gauss-Bonnet topological invariant term. We have analyzed the dynamics of the Universe by presenting two cosmological viable models, showing the potential to describe different phases of the evolution of the Universe. The value of the deceleration parameter ($q$), total equation of state parameter ($\omega_{tot}$) and dark energy equation of state parameter ($\omega_{DE}$) have been presented against each critical point. The existence and stability conditions are also presented. We study the behavior of the phase space trajectories at each critical point. Finally, the evolutionary behavior of the deceleration parameter and the equation of state parameters have been assessed with the initial condition of the dynamical variables, and compatibility has been observed in connection with the present cosmological scenario., Comment: 19 pages, 9 figures

In this paper, we have analyzed the geometrical and dynamical parameters of $\mathcal{F}(R, \mathcal{G})=\alpha R^2 \mathcal{G}^\beta$ cosmological model, ($R$, $\mathcal{G}$ being the Ricci scalar and Gauss-Bonnet invariant respectively), constraining the parameters through the cosmological data sets. It is exhibited that the model admits a viable radiation era, and early deceleration followed by late-time acceleration in the matter-dominated era. From the phase-space, portrait stability criterion has been analysed, restricting the parameter $\beta$, different from $\beta=-1$. Additionally, we have explored the stability of the model from the behavior of critical points and obtained the present value of the density parameter for matter-dominated and dark energy components, which are identical to those obtained through cosmological data sets., Comment: 22 pages, 6 figures

We have studied a superbounce scenario in a set up of Brans-Dicke (BD) theory. The BD parameter is considered to be time dependent and is assumed to evolve with the Brans-Dicke scalar field. In the superbounce scenario, the model bounces at an epoch corresponding to a Big Crunch provided the ekpyrotic phase continues until that time. Within the given superbounce scenario, we investigate the evolution of the BD parameter for different equations of state. We chose an axially symmetric metric that has an axial symmetry along the x-axis. The metric is assumed to incorporate an anisotropic expansion effect. The effect of asymmetric expansion and the anisotropic parameter on the evolving and the non-evolving part of the BD parameter is investigated., Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures, accepted version of the journal Symmetry

In this paper, we have performed the dynamical system analysis of $f(T)$ gravity cosmological models at both background and perturbation levels. We have presented three models pertaining to three distinct functional forms of $f(T)$. The first form is that of the logarithmic form of the torsion scalar $T$, the second one is in the power law form, and the third one is the combination of the first two forms. For all these three forms of $f(T)$, we have derived the corresponding cosmological parameters in terms of the dynamical variables. Subsequently, the critical points are obtained and the condition(s) of its existence has been derived. Critical points of each model have been analysed individually and the corresponding cosmology are derived. The stability behaviour of these critical points are discussed from the behaviour of the eigenvalues and the phase portraits. At least one stable node has been obtained in each of these models. Further from the evolution plots of the cosmological parameters, the accelerating behaviour of the cosmological models are also verified., Comment: 14 pages, 9 figures, Accepted version Physics of the Dark Universe

The dynamical aspect of accelerating cosmological model has been studied in this paper in the context of modified symmetric teleparallel gravity, the $f(Q)$ gravity. Initially, we have derived the dynamical parameters for two well known forms of $f(Q)$ such as: (i) log-square-root form and (ii) exponential form. The equation of state (EoS) parameter for the dark energy in the $f(Q)$ gravity in both the models emerges into a dynamical quantity. At present model-I shows the quintessence behavior and behave like the $\Lambda$CDM at the late time whereas model-II shows phantom behaviour. Further, the dynamical system analysis has been performed to determine the cosmological behaviour of the models along with its stability behaviour. For both the models the critical points are obtained and analysed the stability at each critical points with phase portraits. The evolutionary behaviour of density parameters for the matter-dominated, radiation-dominated, and dark energy phases are also shown for both the models., Comment: 13 pages, 9 figures

In this paper, we present a cosmological model within the framework of symmetric teleparallel gravity, focusing on $f(Q)$ gravity, where $Q$ represents the non-metricity scalar. Utilizing cosmological datasets, we derive an accelerating cosmological model by constraining its free parameters. To achieve this, we determine the parametric form of the Hubble parameter using a well-motivated $f(Q)$ function. Remarkably, all obtained values fall within the range suggested by cosmological observations. By employing the best-fit parameters, we calculate the present geometrical parameters and demonstrate the accelerating behaviour of the Universe. Furthermore, we thoroughly examine the evolutionary behaviours of the Universe, noting that our model converges to the $\Lambda$CDM model at late times. Finally, we investigate the energy conditions and find a violation of the strong energy condition, which could provide a valuable understanding of the nature of dark energy., Comment: 15 pages, 10 figures

The study addresses matter-coupled modified gravity, particularly $f (T, \mathcal{T})$ gravity, unveiling distinct formalism. The research further discusses stability analysis, and the dynamical system approach, exploring the dynamics of critical points to understand these models' viability better. The dynamical system analysis of the cosmological models in $f(T, \mathcal{T})$ gravity, where $T$ and $\mathcal{T}$ respectively represent the torsion scalar and trace of the energy-momentum tensor has been investigated. It demonstrates how first-order autonomous systems can be treated as cosmological equations and analyzed using standard dynamical system theory techniques. Two forms of the function $f(T,\mathcal{T})$ are considered (i) one with the product of trace and higher order torsion scalar and the other (ii) linear combination of linear trace and squared torsion. By employing this methodology, the research aims to uncover the actual behavior of the Universe. The findings emphasize the graphical representation of these insights, enriching our understanding of cosmological scenarios., Comment: 13 pages, 6 figures.
