Baryogenesis constraints and parameter bounds in $f(T,T_{G})$ modified gravity

We investigate the generation of the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe within the framework of $f(T,T_{G})$ gravity, where $T$ is the torsion scalar and $T_{G}$ denotes its teleparallel Gauss--Bonnet counterpart. Two illustrative models, $f(T,T_{G})=\alpha T+\beta \sqrt{T_{G}}$ and $f(T,T_{G})=-T+\delta\, T_{G}\ln(T_{G})$, are examined in a power-law background $a(t)=a_{0} t^{m}$. For both models, we derive analytic expressions for the baryon-to-entropy ratio $\eta_{B}/s$ using the standard and generalized baryogenesis formalisms, adopting high-energy decoupling conditions with $g_{b}=1$, $g_{s}=106$, $T_{D}=2\times10^{16}\,\mathrm{GeV}$, and $M_{\star}=2\times10^{12}\,\mathrm{GeV}$. Consistency of the cosmological dynamics requires $m>1$, and the observed value $\eta_{B}/s \simeq 9.42\times10^{-11}$ is obtained for constrained intervals of the parameters $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\delta$, and $m$. Numerical results confirm that both models reproduce the measured baryon asymmetry without invoking extra fields or exotic matter sources. These findings indicate that teleparallel gravity with a Gauss--Bonnet torsion term provides a natural and viable mechanism for baryogenesis, offering a compelling alternative to curvature-based descriptions of the early Universe.

Late-time cosmic dynamics in $f(R,L_{m})$ gravity with recent observations

In this work, we investigate the late-time cosmic dynamics in the framework of non-linear $f(R, L_m)$ gravity, adopting the functional form $f(R,L_m)=\frac{R}{2}+L_m^2$. To explore the dark energy behavior, we assume an oscillatory parametric equation of state, $\omega(z) = \omega_0 + b \sin[\log(1+z)]$, which allows smooth deviations from the cosmological constant. Using a joint MCMC analysis with the latest Hubble 31 chronometer data, DESI DR2 BAO measurements, and Type Ia supernova samples (Pantheon+, DES-SN5Y and Union 3), we obtain well-constrained parameters around $H_0 \simeq 67.2~\text{km s}^{-1}\text{Mpc}^{-1}$ and $\omega_0\approx-0.5$, consistent with Planck 2018 and other current observations. The model exhibits a clear transition from deceleration to acceleration with $z_{\rm tr} \sim 0.7$--$0.8$, satisfies the NEC and DEC while violating the SEC and yields present EoS values close to $-1$, reproducing $\Lambda$CDM behavior at late times. The derived Universe ages ($t_0 \approx 13.3~\text{Gyr}$) agree well with CMB and stellar constraints, confirming that the proposed oscillatory $f(R, L_m)$ model provides an observationally consistent and dynamically viable alternative to $\Lambda$CDM cosmology.

CPL-parametrized cosmic expansion in Galileon gravity: Constraints from recent data

We explore the cosmic expansion history within the framework of Galileon gravity by employing a redshift-based expression for the Hubble rate, $H(z)$, derived from the CPL parametrization $\omega_{DE}(z)=\omega_{0}+\omega_{a}\frac{z}{1+z}$. This parametrization allows for a time-dependent expansion history consistent with the non-linear Galileon field equations. To constrain the model parameters, we perform a MCMC analysis using $46$ Hubble parameter measurements, DESI DR2 BAO data and $1701$ Pantheon+ datasets. The best fit values obtained are $H_0 = 67.7043^{+1.4354}_{-1.4102}$ km/s/Mpc, $\Omega_{m0} = 0.2668^{+0.0212}_{-0.0217}$, $\omega_0 = -0.8827^{+0.1076}_{-0.0967}$ and $\omega_a = 0.0011^{+0.0660}_{-0.0622}$. Model comparison using information criteria yields $\Delta AIC=1.46$ and $\Delta BIC = 11.5$ indicating that the Galileon model is a strong contender to the $\Lambda$CDM model. The deceleration parameter shows a transition at $z_{tr} = 0.7873$, with $q_0 = -0.598$. Energy density and pressure remain physically viable with $\rho_{de}(z)>0$ and $p_{de}(z)<0$ with the present day equation of state $\omega(z)$ value of $-0.2915$, which suggests mild dynamical dark energy. NEC and DECare satisfied, while SEC is violated. The model yields $r_{0}=0.657$, $s_{0}=0.1173$ and Om diagnostic shows a peak value of $-0.45$ at $z = 0.377$, converging to $-1$ at late times.These results demonstrate that Galileon gravity remains a viable and flexible alternative to $\Lambda$CDM in describing late-time cosmic acceleration.

Constraining $f(Q,\mathcal{L}_{m})$ gravity with redshift-dependent pressure: Insights from observational probes

We explore the late time cosmological dynamics of the Universe within the framework of $f(Q,\mathcal{L}_{m})$ gravity by considering the specific form $f(Q, \mathcal{L}_m)=-Q+2\mathcal{L}_m+\gamma$. To describe the cosmic pressure evolution, a redshift dependent parametrization of $p(z)=\alpha+\frac{\beta z}{1+z}$ is introduced. MCMC analysis is performed using a combined datasets from Hubble ($46$ points), BAO ($15$ points including DESI DR2) and Pantheon$+$ ($1701$ SNe Ia), the model parameters are constrained as $H_{0}=67.9476^{+0.7534}_{-0.7523}$ (km/s/Mpc), $\alpha=-0.0002^{+0.0211}_{-0.0208}$, $\beta=-0.0001^{+0.0410}_{-0.0404}$ and $\gamma=0.0002^{+0.0599}_{-0.0602}$. The model predicts a transition from deceleration to acceleration at $z_{tr} \approx 0.493$ with present values $q_{0}=-0.255$ and $\omega_{0}=-0.9001$. The evolution of energy density and pressure aligns with observational expectations. An analysis of energy conditions shows that NEC and DEC are satisfied, while SEC is violated, consistent with late time acceleration. Moreover, the slow roll parameters $\epsilon_{1}$ and $\epsilon_{2}$ confirm a smooth inflationary regime. These results demonstrate the capability of the model to unify early Universe inflation with the current phase of cosmic acceleration.

A new parametric observational study of $f(Q,B)$ gravity with modified chaplygin gas

In this work, we explore the cosmological dynamics of a modified gravity framework based on the function $f(Q,B)=\delta Q^{2}+\beta B$, where $Q$ denotes the nonmetricity scalar and $B$ is the boundary term that relates $Q$ to the Ricci scalar. The matter sector is modeled using the Modified Chaplygin Gas (MCG) with the equation of state $p=A\rho-\frac{B}{\rho^{\alpha}}$, allowing the model to interpolate between early-time matter behavior and late-time cosmic acceleration. By deriving an analytical expression for the Hubble parameter $H(z)$, we perform a parameter estimation using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques in conjunction with the latest cosmological observations: $46$ Hubble parameter measurements, $15$ BAO data points, DESI DR2 BAO data and the Pantheon+ Type Ia supernovae compilation. The best-fit values are obtained as $H_0 = 72.22^{+3.64}_{-4.46}$, $A_s = 0.696^{+0.082}_{-0.129}$, $\alpha = 0.0029^{+0.022}_{-0.021}$, and $A = 0.0038^{+0.071}_{-0.047}$. The deceleration parameter transitions at redshift $z_{tr} \approx 0.946$, while the present-day value is $q_0 = -0.789$. The model yields an age of the Universe $t_0 \approx 13.53$ Gyr and a present EoS parameter $\omega_0 \approx -0.691$, which reflects the late-time acceleration consistent with observational bounds. These results demonstrate that the MCG scenario within $f(Q,B)$ gravity provides a viable and observationally consistent framework for explaining the late-time accelerated expansion of the Universe.

Observational signatures of scalar field dynamics in modified $f(Q, L_m)$ gravity

We investigate the cosmological implications of a tanh-parametrized scalar field model in the framework of modified $f(Q, L_{m})$ gravity by adopting the form $f(Q, L_{m})=\beta Q+\delta L_{m}$ along with a scalar field energy density $\rho_\phi = \rho_{c0} \tanh(A + Bz)$. Using MCMC methods and combining $31$ cosmic chronometer data points, $15$ BAO, DESI DR2 BAO and $1701$ Pantheon+ samples, we constrain the model parameters and obtain $H_{0}=74.284^{+4.155}_{-4.275}$, $\Omega_{m0}=0.326^{+0.093}_{-0.072}$ and $B=-0.001^{+0.030}_{-0.030}$. The model predicts a transition redshift $z_{tr}=0.5914$ and a present deceleration parameter $q_0=-0.5167$, consistent with a Universe transitioning from deceleration to acceleration. We further analyze the evolution of the EoS parameter, density components and statefinder diagnostics in which all parameters show asymptotic convergence to a de Sitter phase. Additionally, we study black hole mass accretion, showing its dependence on the scalar field dynamics. This work highlights the compatibility of tanh-scalar field forms with $f(Q, L_m)$ gravity in describing cosmic acceleration and gravitational phenomena.

Cosmological insights from an exponential $Om(z)$ function in $f(T,T_{G})$ gravity framework

We examine a modified teleparallel gravity model defined by $f(T,T_{G})=T+\gamma\sqrt{T_{G}}+\delta\sqrt{T}$ by introducing an exponential $Om(z)$ diagnostic of the form $Om(z)=\alpha e^{\frac{z}{1+z}}+\beta$. This novel form captures smooth redshift evolution and allows for a flexible, model-independent probe of dark energy dynamics. We derive a Hubble function from this expression and use MCMC analysis with $31$ CC, $26$ BAO and $1701$ Pantheon+ data points to constrain the model parameters. The best-fit results yield $H_{0} \in [68.46, 77.38]$km/s/Mpc for $\alpha \in [-0.232, -0.068]$ and $\beta \in [0.218, 0.560]$ which is consistent with local $H_{0}$ values. Our model predicts a transition redshift $z_{tr} \approx (0.48-0.54)$, present $q_{0}\approx -0.34$, and $\omega_{0}\approx-0.33$. It satisfies NEC and DEC, closely tracks $\Lambda$CDM in the statefinder plane and estimates a cosmic age of $(13.28-13.87)$ Gyr which confirms its strength in explaining late-time acceleration. Our findings demonstrate that the exponential $Om(z)$ parameterization provides a robust and insightful approach to trace dark energy evolution within modified gravity frameworks.

Reconstructing cosmic expansion in $f(R, G)$ gravity using a log-periodic deceleration model

We study the late-time cosmology in $f(R, G)=R+\alpha R^{2}+\beta e^{\gamma G}$, using a logarithmic parametrization of the deceleration parameter $q(z)=q_{0}+q_{1}sin[log(1+z)]$. The Hubble parameter $H(z)$ is reconstructed and model parameters are constrained via MCMC analysis using CC ($31$), BAO ($26$) and Pantheon+SHOES ($1701$) datasets. Our results yield a Hubble constant in the range $H_0 = 71.7$--$72.8$ km/s/Mpc, consistent with late-time observations. The present deceleration parameter is found to be $q_{0}=-0.484$ to $-0.517$, while the evolution parameter $q_{1}\approx 1$, indicating increasing acceleration. The transition redshift shifts from $z_{tr}=0.879$ (CC) to $0.744$ (CC+BAO+Pantheon+SHOES), supporting a dynamic acceleration phase. The model reproduces early radiation behavior with $\omega (z>>1) \approx 0.33$ and predicts present-day values $\omega_{0} \approx -0.49$. Energy conditions NEC and DEC are satisfied, while SEC is violated at late times. The statefinder parameters $\{r_0, s_0\} = (0.866, 0.046)$ lie near the $\Lambda$CDM point. Estimated age of the Universe ranges from $13.01$ to $13.59$ Gyr. Thermodynamic analysis confirms consistency with the generalized second law. Overall, the model offers a viable and observationally consistent description of cosmic acceleration.

Constraining model parameters in f(Q,C) gravity: Observational analysis and geometric diagnostics

We investigate the cosmological implications of $f(Q,C)$ gravity with $f(Q,C)=\alpha Q+\beta C$, where $Q$ is the non-metricity scalar and $C$ encapsulates cosmological expansion terms. Three parameterizations of the EoS for dark energy, $\omega=\omega_{0}+\omega_{1}z$, $\omega=\omega_{0}+\frac{\omega_{1}z(1+z)}{1+z^{2}}$ and $\omega=\omega_{0}+\frac{\omega_{1}z^{2}}{1+z^{2}}$ are tested using the Hubble, Hubble plus BAO, and Hubble plus BAO plus Pantheon datasets to constrain model parameters. The resulting Hubble and deceleration parameters reveal a transition from deceleration to acceleration, supporting current cosmic acceleration observations. Analysis of the energy density and pressure confirms positive energy density and a negative pressure for dark energy, potentially driving the late-time acceleration. We examine energy conditions, showing compliance with NEC, WEC and DEC, while SEC remains negative, supporting an accelerated expansion. Statefinder diagnostics suggest that two of the EoS parameterizations lead to Quintessence-like behavior with a time-varying dark energy component, while the third closely approaches $\Lambda$CDM showing slight deviations consistent with recent observations. Sound speed analysis demonstrates the physical stability of all parameterizations.

A novel approach to baryogenesis in $f(Q,L_{m})$ gravity and its cosmological implications

We present an examination of the $f(Q,L_{m})$ gravity model, in which the functional form $f(Q,L_{m})=\alpha Q^{n}+\beta L_{m}$ is postulated and discuss its potential impact on cosmological dynamics and the phenomenon of gravitational baryogenesis. Combining observational insights from Hubble, BAO and phantom datasets, we conduct a comprehensive analysis to constrain the model's parameters and determine the baryon-to-entropy ratio $\frac{\eta_{B}}{s}$, providing valuable insights into the model's performance and cosmological implications. In the context of baryogenesis and generalized gravitational baryogenesis, we show that setting $n=\frac{1}{2}$ results in a zero baryon-to-entropy ratio, which is physically implausible. Through a detailed examination of the dependence of $\frac{\eta_{B}}{s}$ on $n$ and $\beta$, we demonstrate that our model predicts a baryon-to-entropy ratio that is both positive and consistent with the observational upper limit of $9.42\times10^{-11}$ for $1.32965<n<1.39252$ and appropriate of $\beta$ and $n$ with $\alpha\simeq-1.95084\times10^{86}$. The excellent agreement between our model's predictions and the phantom dataset demonstrates the model's capacity to accurately describe the physics of baryogenesis and its ability to reproduce the observed features of the cosmological data, showcasing its potential as a reliable tool for understanding the evolution of the Universe.

Barrow Holographic Dark Energy in $f(Q,L_{m})$ gravity: A dynamical system perspective

In this work, we investigate the cosmological implications of the Barrow Holographic Dark Energy (BADE) model within the framework of $f(Q,L_{m})$ gravity, specifically considering the model $f(Q,L_{m})=\alpha Q+\beta L_{m}$. Using a dynamical system approach for both non-interacting and interacting scenarios, we identify critical points corresponding to different phases of the Universe's evolution, including matter domination, radiation domination and dark energy-driven accelerated expansion. Our analysis reveals two stable critical points in the non-interacting case and three stable critical points in the interacting case, each indicating a transition to a stable phase dominated by BADE. The phase plots clearly demonstrate the evolution of the Universe's dynamics toward these stable points. At these stable points, the deceleration parameter is negative, consistent with accelerated expansion and the equation of state parameter suggests that BADE behaves as a dark energy component. These findings highlight the BADE model's strength as a viable explanation for the Universe's late-time acceleration inside $f(Q, L_{m})$ gravity, and they provide novel perspectives on the cosmic development of dark energy-matter interactions.

Behaviours of rip cosmological models in $f(Q,C)$ gravity

In this study, the Universe's rip cosmology theories have been provided for the $f(Q,C)$ gravity theory, where $Q$ and $C$ stand for the non-metricity scalar and boundary term. We assumed $f(Q,C)=\alpha Q^{n}+\beta C$ and analyzed the nature of the physical parameters for the Little Rip, Big Rip and Pseudo Rip models. In the LR and PR models, the EoS parameter exhibits phantom characteristics but remains closely aligned with the $\Lambda$CDM line. After investigating the energy conditions, we recognised that our model violates the strong energy constraint. Avoiding singularity situations has been noted in all of these accelerated models. The characteristics of the jerk and snap parameters have been investigated. Our model provides an effective description of the Universe's evolutionary history and fits well with contemporary cosmic data.

Stability Analysis of Cosmological models in $f(T,\phi)$ Gravity

We investigated the stability condition in $f(T,\phi)$ gravity theory for considering two models by using dynamical system. We assume the forms of $G(T)$ are $(i)$ $G(T)$ = $\alpha T+\frac{\beta}{T}$, $(ii)$ $G(T)$ = $\zeta T$ ln$(\psi T)$, where $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\zeta$ and $\psi$ be the free parameters. We evaluated the equilibrium points for these models and examine the stability behavior. We found five stable critical points for Model I and three stable critical points for Model II. The phase plots for these systems are examined and discussed the physical interpretation. We illustrate all the cosmological parameters such as $\Omega_{m}$, $\Omega_{\phi}$, $q$ and $\omega_{Tot}$ at each fixed points and compare the parameters with observational values. Further, we assume hybrid scale factor and the equation of redshift and time is $t(z)=\frac{\delta}{\sigma}W\bigg[\frac{\sigma}{\delta}\bigg(\frac{1}{a_{1}(1+z)}\bigg)^{\frac{1}{\delta}}\bigg]$. We transform all the parameters in redshift by using this equation and examine the behavior of these parameters. Our models represent the accelerating stage of the Universe. The energy conditions are examined in terms of redshift and SEC is not satisfied for the model. We also find the statefinder parameters $\{r,s\}$ in terms of z and discuss the nature of $r-s$ and $r-q$ plane. For both pairs $\{r,s\}$ and $\{r,q\}$ our models represent the $\Lambda$CDM model. Hence, we determine that our $f(T,\phi)$ models are stable and it satisfies all the observational values.

Stability analysis of cosmological models coupled minimally with scalar field in $f(Q)$ gravity

In this work, in the framework of dynamical system analysis, we focus on the study of the accelerated expansion of the Universe of $f(Q)$ gravity theory where $Q$ be the non-metricity that describes the gravitational interaction. We consider the linear form of $f(Q)$ gravity i.e. $f(Q)=-\alpha_{1}Q-\alpha_{2}$ where $\alpha_{1}$ and $\alpha_{2}$ are constants. We consider an interaction between dark matter (DM) and dark energy (DE) in $f(Q)$ gravity. To reduce the modified Friedmann equations to an autonomous system of first-order ordinary differential equations, we introduce some dimensionless new variables. The nature of the critical points are discussed by finding the eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix. We get six critical points for interacting DE model. We also analyze the density parameter, equation of state (EoS) parameter and deceleration parameter and draw their plots and we conclude that for some suitable range of the parameters $\lambda$ and $\alpha$, the value of the deceleration parameter is $q=-1$ which shows that the expansion of Universe is accelerating and the value of EoS parameter is $\omega_{\phi}=-1$ which shows that the model is $\Lambda$CDM model. Finally, we discussed the classical as well as quantum stability of the model.

Qualitative Stability Analysis of Cosmological Parameters in $f(T,B)$ Gravity

We analyze the cosmological solutions of $f(T,B)$ gravity using dynamical system analysis where $T$ is the torsion scalar and $B$ be the boundary term scalar. In our work, we assume two specific cosmological models. For first model, we consider $ f(T,B)=f_{0}(B^{k}+T^{m})$, where $k$ and $m$ are constants. For second model, we consider $f(T,B)=f_{0}T B$. We generate an autonomous system of differential equations for each models by introducing new dimensionless variables. To solve this system of equations, we use dynamical system analysis. We also investigate the critical points and their natures, stability conditions and their behaviors of Universe expansion. For both models, we get four critical points. The phase plots of this system are analyzed in detail and study their geometrical interpretations also. In both model, we evaluated density parameters such as $\Omega_{r}$, $\Omega_{m}$, $\Omega_{\Lambda}$ and $\omega_{eff}$ and deceleration parameter $(q)$ and find their suitable range of the parameter $\lambda$ for stability. For first model, we get $\omega_{eff}=-0.833,-0.166$ and for second model, we get $\omega_{eff}=-\frac{1}{3}$. This shows that both the models are in quintessence phase. Further, we compare the values of EoS parameter and deceleration parameter with the observational values.
