In the framework of [Formula: see text]-gravity theory, classical and quantum cosmology has been studied in this work for Friedmann Lemaitre Robertson Walker Metric (FLRW) space-time model. The Noether symmetry, a point-like symmetry of the Lagrangian, is used to the physical system and a specific functional form of [Formula: see text] is determined. A point transformation in the 2D augmented space restricts one of the variables to be cyclic so that the Lagrangian as well as the field equations are simplified so that they are solvable. Lastly, for quantum cosmology, the WD equation is constructed and a possible solution has been evaluated.

We discuss Noether symmetry approach in the modified theory of gravity with Gauss–Bonnet (GB) interaction-f(G) including an ideal fluid in Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) background. It yields functional form of f(G) from the symmetry. The existence of Noether symmetry gives the scale factor in two cases, but these are not satisfied by field equations in general. In another case, the solution of field equations shows late-time transition to an accelerating expansion when matter is dust, however the solution including dust and radiation is always in accelerating era.

AbstractWe prove that for the Friedmann–Lemaitre–Robertson–Walker metric, the field equations of any generic gravity theory in arbitrary dimensions are of the perfect fluid type. The cases of general Lovelock and $${\mathcal {F}}(R, {\mathcal {G}})$$ F ( R , G ) theories are given as examples.

In this work we study a general scalar-tensor theory in which the coupling and potential functions are determined from Noether symmetry arguments. We also obtain exact solutions of the field equations and found that the universe asymptotically follows an exponential expansion having no graceful exit. The study of the functional form of ω(φ) reveals that the theory asymptotically becomes an attractor of general relativity. We restrict ourselves to spatially homogeneous, isotropic flat universe.

We review the Noether Symmetry Approach as a geometric criterion to select theories of gravity. Specifically, we deal with Noether Symmetries to solve the field equations of given gravity theories. The method allows to find out exact solutions, but also to constrain arbitrary functions in the action. Specific cosmological models are taken into account.

We consider curvature-teleparallel F(R,T) gravity, where the gravitational Lagrangian density is given by an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar R and the torsion scalar T. Using the Noether Symmetry Approach, we show that the functional form of the F(R,T) function can be determined by the presence of symmetries. Furthermore, we obtain exact solutions through the presence of conserved quantities and the reduction of cosmological dynamical system. Example of particular cosmological models are considered.

AbstractIn the case of a spatially flat Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker Universe in $$f\left( R\right) $$fR-gravity we write the Wheeler–DeWitt equation of quantum cosmology. The equation depends upon the functional form of $$f\left( R\right) $$fR. We choose to work with four specific functions of $$f\left( R\right) $$fR in which the field equations for the classical models are integrable and solvable through quadratures. For these models we determine similarity solutions for the Wheeler–DeWitt equation by determining Lie–Bäcklund transformations. In addition we show how the classical limit is recovered by the similarity solutions of the Wheeler–DeWitt equation.

In metric formalism, Noether symmetry of [Formula: see text] theory of gravity in vacuum and in the presence of pressureless dust yields [Formula: see text] along with the conserved current [Formula: see text] in Robertson–Walker metric and nothing else. However, Roshan and Shojai have claimed in [Palatini [Formula: see text] gravity and Noether symmetry, Phys. Lett. B 668 (2008) 238–240] that Noether symmetry in the context of Palatini [Formula: see text] theory of gravity admits [Formula: see text], (where [Formula: see text] is arbitrary) in matter domain era in Friedmann–Robertson–Walker universe. But, it has been shown that the conserved current obtained under the process does not satisfy the field equations in general. Here, it is shown that Noether Symmetry admits [Formula: see text] along with a conserved current [Formula: see text] in Palatini gravity. Thus, their claim is not right.

In this study, we consider a phantom cosmology in which a scalar field is minimally coupled to gravity. For anisotropic locally rotational symmetric (LRS) Bianchi type I space–time, we use the Noether symmetry approach to determine the potential of such a theory. It is shown that the potential must be in the trigonometric form as a function of the scalar field. We solved the field equations of the theory using the result obtained from the Noether symmetry. Our solution shows that the universe has an accelerating expanding phase.

AbstractIn this paper, we explore an Einstein-aether cosmological model by adding the scalar field in which it has an interaction with the aether field. For the cosmological implications of the model, we consider that the universe can be described by the spatially flat FRW metric together with the matter dominated universe. Applying Noether symmetry approach to the point-like Lagrangian we determine the explicit forms of unknown functions i.e. the potential and coupling function. We solve the analytical cosmological solutions of the field equations admitting the Noether symmetry, basically divided into two parts. Our results show that the obtained solutions lead to an accelerated expansion of the universe. We also discuss the tensor perturbations within the framework of this model in order to get information about the mass of gravitational waves.
