This paper studies the viable regions of some cosmic models in a higher derivative [Formula: see text] theory with the help of energy conditions (where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are the Ricci scalar, d’Alembert’s operator and trace of energy–momentum tensor, respectively). For this purpose, we assume a flat Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker metric which is assumed to be filled with perfect fluid configurations. We take two distinct realistic models that might be helpful to explore stable regimes of cosmological solutions. After taking some numerical values of cosmic parameters, like crackle, snap, jerk (etc.) as well as viable constraints from energy conditions, the viable zones for the under observed [Formula: see text] models are examined.

In this paper, we examined the viability bounds of a higher derivative [Formula: see text] theory through analyzing energy conditions (where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are the Ricci scalar, d’Alemberts operator and trace of energy–momentum tensor, respectively). We take flat Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker spacetime coupled with ideal configurations of matter content. We consider three different realistic models of this gravity, that could be utilized to understand the stability of cosmological solutions. After constructing certain bounds mediated by energy conditions, more specifically the weak energy condition, we discuss viable zones of the under considered modified models in an environment of recent estimated numerical choices of the cosmic parameters.

The main object of this paper is to investigate spacetimes admitting concircular curvature tensor in f(R) gravity theory. At first, concircularly flat and concircularly flat perfect fluid spacetimes in fR gravity are studied. In this case, the forms of the isotropic pressure p and the energy density σ are obtained. Next, some energy conditions are considered. Finally, perfect fluid spacetimes with divergence free concircular curvature tensor in f(R) gravity are studied; amongst many results, it is proved that if the energy-momentum tensor of such spacetimes is recurrent or bi-recurrent, then the Ricci tensor is semi-symmetric and hence these spacetimes either represent inflation or their isotropic pressure and energy density are constants.

This article deals with the study of Bianchi type V cosmological model filled with perfect fluid in the context of f(R, T) gravity. R and T represent the Ricci scalar and trace of the energy–momentum tensor, respectively. The modified Einstein’s field equations are solved under the consideration of hybrid exponential law for two cases of f(R, T). The presented models are shear free.

In the present paper, we explore wormholes in R<sup>2</sup>-gravity within the f(R,T) formalism by using b(r)= re<sup>r0-r</sup> (hybrid shape function). The functional form f(R, T)= R + αR<sup>2</sup> +λT is considered with R and T as the Ricci scalar and trace of energy-momentum tensor, respectively, α and β are controlling parameters. With the help of the EoS, ω= \frac{p_r}{\rho}, geometric behavior is analyzed and energy conditions are discussed in anisotropic scenario. In this investigation, significant contribution of the quadratic geometric term (R<sup>2</sup>) and linear trace term (T) are shown for validating energy conditions for specific shape function and analyzing wormhole solutions in absence of exotic matter. Also, we observe that the energy conditions are valid in whole range (r ≥ r0) in the case of constant redshift function with this shape function.

The Palatini [Formula: see text] gravity theory is considered. The standard Einstein–Hilbert action is replaced by an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar [Formula: see text] and of the trace [Formula: see text] of the energy-momentum tensor. In the Palatini approach, the Ricci scalar is a function of the metric and the connection. These two quantities, metric and connection, are taken as independent variables. Then, it is examined whether Palatini [Formula: see text] gravity theory allows solutions in which lead to violation of causality. The Gödel and Gödel-type spacetimes are considered. In addition, a critical radius, which permits to examine limits for violation of causality, is calculated. It is shown that, for different matter contents, noncausal solutions can be avoided in this Palatini gravitational theory.

We explore the aspects of the electromagnetism on the stability of gravastar in a particular modified theory, i.e. [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] is the Ricci scalar and [Formula: see text] is the trace of energy–momentum tensor. We assume a spherically symmetric static metric coupled comprising of perfect fluid in the presence of electric charge. The purpose of this paper is to extend the results of [S. Ghosh, F. Rahaman, B. K. Guha and S. Ray, Phys. Lett. B 767 (2017) 380.] to highlight the effects of [Formula: see text] gravity in the formation of charged gravastars. We demonstrated the mathematical formulation, utilizing different equations of state, for the three respective regions (i.e. inner, shell, exterior) of the gravastar. We have matched smoothly the interior de Sitter and the exterior Reissner–Nordström metric at the hypersurface. At the end we extracted few conclusions by working on the physical features of the charged gravastar, mathematically and graphically.

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.

In this paper, a rotating thin shell in a (2 + 1)-dimensional asymptotically AdS spacetime is studied. The spacetime exterior to the shell is the rotating BTZ spacetime and the interior is the empty spacetime with a cosmological constant. Through the Einstein equation in (2 + 1) dimensions and the corresponding junction conditions we calculate the dynamical relevant quantities, namely, the rest energy–density, the pressure, and the angular momentum flux density. We also analyze the matter in a frame where its energy–momentum tensor has a perfect fluid form. In addition, we show that Machian effects, such as the dragging of inertial frames, also occur in rotating (2 + 1)-dimensional spacetimes. The weak and the dominant energy condition for these shells are discussed.

Quasilocal definitions of stress-energy–momentum—that is, in the form of boundary densities (in lieu of local volume densities) — have proven generally very useful in formulating and applying conservation laws in general relativity. In this Essay, we take a basic look into applying these to cosmology, specifically using the Brown–York quasilocal stress-energy–momentum tensor for matter and gravity combined. We compute this tensor and present some simple results for a flat FLRW spacetime with a perfect fluid matter source. We emphasize the importance of the vacuum energy, which is almost universally underappreciated (and usually “subtracted”), and discuss the quasilocal interpretation of the cosmological constant.

Models of static wormholes within the [Formula: see text] extended theory of gravity are investigated, in particular the family [Formula: see text], with [Formula: see text] being the trace of the energy–momentum tensor. Models corresponding to different relations for the pressure components (radial and lateral), and several equations-of-state (EoS), reflecting different matter content, are worked out explicitly. The solutions obtained for the shape functions of the generated wormholes obey the necessary metric conditions, as manifested in other studies in the literature. The respective energy conditions reveal the physical nature of the wormhole models thus constructed. It is found, in particular, that for each of those considered, the parameter space can be divided into different regions, in which the exact wormhole solutions fulfill the null energy conditions (NEC) and the weak energy conditions (WEC), respectively, in terms of the lateral pressure. Moreover, the dominant energy condition (DEC) in terms of both pressures is also valid, while [Formula: see text]. A similar solution for the theory [Formula: see text] is found numerically, where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are either constant or functions of [Formula: see text], leading to the result that the NEC in terms of the radial pressure is also valid. For nonconstant [Formula: see text] models, attention is focused on the behavior [Formula: see text]. To finish, the question is addressed, how [Formula: see text] will affect the wormhole solutions corresponding to fluids of the form [Formula: see text], in the three cases such as NEC, WEC and DEC. Issues concerning the nonconservation of the matter energy–momentum tensor, the stability of the solutions obtained, and the observational possibilities for testing these models are discussed in Sec. 6.
