abstract
The issues of quintessence and cosmic acceleration can be discussed in the framework of higher order theories of gravity. We can define effective pressure and energy density directly connected to the Ricci scalar of curvature of a generic fourth order theory and then ask for the conditions to get an accelerated expansion. Exact accelerated expanding solutions can be achieved for several fourth order theories so that we get an alternative scheme to the standard quintessence scalar field, minimally coupled to gravity, usually adopted. We discuss also conformal transformations in order to see the links of quintessence between the Jordan and Einstein frames.

Introduces Fractional Holographic Dark Energy (FHDE) via fractionally corrected entropy from a modified Wheeler-DeWitt equation and studies its late-time cosmology, field reconstructions, and extensions to modified gravity theories.
Rotating traversable wormholes in f(R,T) gravity are supported by anisotropic fluid satisfying null and strong energy conditions in the slow-rotation approximation, with particle dynamics and gravitational lensing analyzed.
A non-canonical generalized Brans-Dicke theory admits background cosmological solutions matching Lambda CDM characteristics for constant, power-law, and exponential potentials, with dynamics distinct from other scalar-tensor models.
A holographic f(Q) = ζ Q^n model yields slow-roll inflation consistent with Planck 2018 and late-time expansion compatible with CC+BAO data via CPL parametrization, with mild high-z deviations from ΛCDM.
This review traces the history of dynamical dark energy, presents the no-go theorem against single-field crossing of w = -1, and surveys viable Quintom constructions including multi-field models and modified gravity in light of DESI DR2 hints.
Applies the f(R) = R - μ Rc (R/Rc)^p model and shape function b(r) = r log(r+1)/log(r0+1) to Morris-Thorne wormholes and analyzes energy conditions for non-exotic matter support.
A review arguing that current DESI/DES data favor Quintom-B dark energy, where the equation of state crosses w=-1 from below to above, with applications to bounces and CMB birefringence.
Modified gravity theories supply viable mathematical frameworks for inflation, bounces, and dark energy eras that match observational data.
MCMC constraints on two Lambda(t) models with DESI DR2, CC, and Pantheon+ data yield H0 ~72.5-73 km/s/Mpc, Omega_m0 near standard values in joint fits, and n~0.3 indicating mild deviation from LambdaCDM.
