Anisotropic Universe in f(mathcal{G},textit{T}) Gravity

This paper is devoted to investigate the recently introduced $f(\mathcal{G},\textit{T})$ theory of gravity, where $\mathcal{G}$ is the Gauss-Bonnet term, and ${\textit{T}}$ is the trace of the energy-momentum tensor. For this purpose, anisotropic background is chosen and a power law $f(\mathcal{G},\textit{T})$ gravity model is used to find the exact solutions of field equations. In particular, a general solution is obtained which is further used to reconstruct some important solutions in cosmological contexts. The physical quantities like energy density, pressure, and equation of state parameter are calculated. A Starobinsky Like $f_2(\textit{T})$ model is proposed which is used to analyze the behavior of universe for different values of equation of state parameter. It is concluded that presence of term $\textit{T}$ in the bivariate function $f(\mathcal{G},\textit{T})$ may give many cosmologically important solutions of the field equations.
