In this paper, energy conditions in a new [Formula: see text] modified gravity ([Formula: see text] and T represent the Gauss–Bonnet invariant and trace of the energy–momentum tensor, respectively) for anisotropic universe with perfect fluid are analyzed. In this model, we develop the general scheme for new [Formula: see text] modified gravity reconstruction from realistic anisotropic Bianchi type-I cosmology. Using de Sitter solution, the exact solutions of the field equations have been obtained. It is found that null and weak energy conditions are satisfied for the parameter range considered. As a result, the analyses show that the increase of anisotropy is attributed to the increase of weak energy condition.

In this paper, we present a spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type-I cosmological model with a viscous bulk fluid in [Formula: see text] gravity where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are the Ricci scalar and trace of the energy-momentum tensor, respectively. The field equations are solved explicitly using the hybrid law of the scale factor, which is related to the average Hubble parameter and gives a time-varying deceleration parameter (DP). We found the deceleration parameter describing two phases in the universe, the early deceleration phase [Formula: see text] and the current acceleration phase [Formula: see text]. We have calculated some physical and geometric properties and their graphs, whether in terms of time or redshift. Note that for our model, the bulk viscous pressure [Formula: see text] is negative and the energy density [Formula: see text] is positive. The energy conditions and the [Formula: see text] analysis for our spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type-I model are also discussed.

In this paper, we present the cylindrically symmetric solutions in a well-known modified theory, namely f(R, G) gravity. After driving the complete system of field equations, six different families of exact solutions using a viable f(R, G) gravity model have been discussed. Moreover, we have investigated the well-known Levi–Civita solution in modified gravity for the model f(R, G) = R2 + αGn for some suitable values of model parameters n and α. Null energy conditions are also calculated for all the obtained solutions. Some regions are observed where the null energy condition is violated, indicating the existence of cylindrical wormholes.

In this paper, we consider the generalized ghost dark energy in a Bianchi type-I metric (which is a spatially homogeneous and anisotropic) in the framework of Brans–Dicke theory. For this purpose, we use the squared sound speed [Formula: see text] the sign of which determines the stability of the model. At first, we obtain the equation of state parameter, ωΛ = pΛ/ρΛ, the deceleration parameter q and the evolution equation of the generalized ghost dark energy. We find that, in this case, ωΛ cannot cross the phantom line (ωΛ > –1) and eventually the universe approaches a de-Sitter phase of expansion (ωΛ → –1). Then, we extend our study to the case of generalized ghost dark energy in a non-isotropic and Brans–Dicke framework and find out that the transition of ωΛ to the phantom regime can be more easily accounted for than when it is restored into the Einstein field equations. In conclusion, we find evidence that the generalized ghost dark energy in BD theory can lead to a stable universe favored by observations at the present time.

In this paper, we explore the possibility of wormhole solutions existence exhibiting spherical symmetry in an interesting modified gravity based on Ricci scalar term and trace of energy–momentum tensor. For this reason, we assume the matter distribution as anisotropic fluid and a specific viable form of the generic function given by [Formula: see text] involving [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], two arbitrary constant parameters. For having a simplified form of the resulting field equations, we assume three different forms of EoS of the assumed matter contents. In each case, we find the numerical wormhole solutions and analyze their properties for the wormhole existence graphically. The graphical behavior of the energy condition bounds is also investigated in each case. It is found that a realistic wormhole solutions satisfying all the properties can be obtained in each case.

In this paper, our attention is to reconstruct an appropriate model for Bianchi type I and Bianchi V space–times in f(R, T) gravity with the help of special law of deceleration parameter in connection to f(R, T) gravity (where R is the Ricci scalar and T is the trace of energy–momentum tensor). We solve the modified Einstein field equations for anisotropic and homogeneous Bianchi type V space–time. The solution of field equations facilitates finding out the physical as well as kinematical quantities. We explore the behavior of null energy condition, energy density, and deceleration parameter to present cosmic picture.

From the recent observations, it is well known that the expansion rate of our universe varies with time (early decelerating and accelerating in the present epoch) which is an unsolved problem. This motivated to us to consider this paper and so we have developed a new cosmological model in Einstein’s modified gravity theory using two types of modifications: (i) Geometrical modification, in which we have used Lyra’s geometry in the curvature part of the Einstein field equations (EFE) and (ii) Modification in gravity (energy momentum tensor) on right hand side of EFE, as per the Brans–Dicke model. With these two modifications, we have obtained the exact solutions of Einstein Brans–Dicke field equations in Lyra’s geometry for a spatially homogeneous Bianchi type-I space-time with time variable deceleration parameter (DP). We have calculated various physical parameters for the model and found them consistent with recent observations. We have also examined the energy conditions for the model and found them satisfactory. We have found that the scalar field of Brans–Dicke theory behaves like a best fit dark energy candidate in the reference of Lyra’s geometry.

In this work, we investigate wormhole configurations described by a constant redshift function in Einstein-Cubic gravity ( ECG ). We derive analytical wormhole geometries by assuming a particular equation of state ( EoS ) and investigate the possibility that these solutions satisfy the standard energy conditions. We introduce exact asymptotically flat and anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetimes that admit traversable wormholes. These solutions are obtained by imposing suitable values for the parameters of the theory so that the resulted geometries satisfy the weak energy condition ( WEC ) in the vicinity of the throat, due to the presence of higher-order curvature terms. Moreover, we find that AdS solutions satisfy the WEC throughout the spacetime. A description of the geodesic motion of time-like and null particles is presented for the obtained wormhole solutions. Also, using gravitational lensing effects, observational features of the wormhole structure are discussed.

This work is to introduce a new kind of modified gravitational theory, named as [Formula: see text] (also [Formula: see text]) gravity, where [Formula: see text] is the Ricci scalar, [Formula: see text] is Gauss–Bonnet invariant and [Formula: see text] is the trace of the energy–momentum tensor. With the help of different models in this gravity, we investigate some physical features of different relativistic compact stars. For this purpose, we develop the effectively modified field equations, conservation equation, and the equation of motion for test particle. Then, we check the impact of additional force (massive test particle followed by a nongeodesic line of geometry) on compact objects. Furthermore, we took three notable stars named as [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The physical behavior of the energy density, anisotropic pressures, different energy conditions, stability, anisotropy, and the equilibrium scenario of these strange compact stars are analyzed through various plots. Finally, we conclude that the energy conditions hold, and the core of these stars is so dense.

This paper formulates the exact static anisotropic spherically symmetric solution of the field equations through gravitational decoupling. To accomplish this work, we add a new gravitational source in the energy–momentum tensor of a perfect fluid. The corresponding field equations, hydrostatic equilibrium equation as well as matching conditions are evaluated. We obtain the anisotropic model by extending the known Durgapal and Gehlot isotropic solution and examined the physical viability as well as the stability of the developed model. It is found that the system exhibits viable behavior for all fluid variables as well as energy conditions and the stability criterion is fulfilled.

This paper is aimed to evaluate the existence of wormholes in viable [Formula: see text] gravity models (where [Formula: see text] is the scalar curvature and [Formula: see text] is the trace of stress–energy tensor of matter). The exact solutions for energy–momentum tensor components depending on different shapes and redshift functions are calculated without some additional constraints. To investigate this, we consider static spherically symmetric geometry with matter contents as anisotropic fluid and formulate the Einstein field equations for three different [Formula: see text] models. For each model, we derive expression for weak and null energy conditions and graphically analyzed its violation near the throat. It is really interesting that wormhole solutions do not require the presence of exotic matter — like that in general relativity. Finally, the stability of the solutions for each model is presented using equilibrium condition.
