abstract

The field equations of a generalized $f(R)$ type gravity model, in which there is an arbitrary coupling between matter and geometry, are obtained. The equations of motion for test particles are derived from a variational principle in the particular case in which the Lagrange density of the matter is an arbitrary function of the energy-density of the matter only. Generally, the motion is non-geodesic, and takes place in the presence of an extra force orthogonal to the four-velocity. The Newtonian limit of the model is also considered. The perihelion precession of an elliptical planetary orbit in the presence of an extra force is obtained in a general form, and the magnitude of the extra gravitational effects is constrained in the case of a constant extra force by using Solar System observations.

  1. Is Dark Energy an Effective Manifestation of Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics? -- Insights from DESI

    astro-ph.CO 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Two phenomenological dark matter creation rates can reproduce the accelerated expansion of the universe and fit current background data as well as or slightly better than LambdaCDM for some DESI-based data combinations.

  2. Transit dark energy cosmological models in generalized matter-geometry coupling theory using a non-linear form of $f(R,T,L_{m})$ function

    gr-qc 2025-09 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A modified f(R,T,L_m) gravity model, fitted to CC and Pantheon data, yields an accelerating late-time universe with transition redshift near 0.6 and an effective dark energy equation of state within 1e-5 of -1.

  3. Cosmological implications and causality in $f(R, L_{m}, T)$ gravity theory with observational constraints

    gr-qc 2025-01 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    Four f(R,Lm,T) fluid models are fitted to CC+Pantheon+SH0ES data, but the assumed matter conservation contradicts the theory's field equations.
