abstract

In this work, we review a plethora of modified theories of gravity with generalized curvature-matter couplings. The explicit nonminimal couplings, for instance, between an arbitrary function of the scalar curvature $R$ and the Lagrangian density of matter, induces a non-vanishing covariant derivative of the energy-momentum tensor, implying non-geodesic motion and consequently leads to the appearance of an extra force. Applied to the cosmological context, these curvature-matter couplings lead to interesting phenomenology, where one can obtain a unified description of the cosmological epochs. We also consider the possibility that the behavior of the galactic flat rotation curves can be explained in the framework of the curvature-matter coupling models, where the extra-terms in the gravitational field equations modify the equations of motion of test particles, and induce a supplementary gravitational interaction. In addition to this, these models are extremely useful for describing dark energy-dark matter interactions, and for explaining the late-time cosmic acceleration.

  1. Quasinormal modes of scalar perturbations in Rastall thick brane

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The graviscalar quasinormal mode spectrum and late-time power-law tails of a Rastall thick brane are computed numerically, showing that the Rastall parameter λ controls mode lifetimes and tail exponents.

  2. Fractional Dark Matter decay: cosmological imprints and observational constraints

    astro-ph.CO 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Cosmological data limit a pre-recombination decaying dark matter fraction to at most about 2.7%, and future kSZ measurements could provide an independent test.

  3. Joule-Thomson Effect and Geodesic Structure of Charged AdS Black Holes in f(R,T) Coupled with Nonlinear Electrodynamics

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Charge most strongly controls JT inversion and cooling domains of the f(R,T)-NLED AdS black hole; NLED and modified-gravity parameters supply only sub-leading corrections that leave exterior geodesics close to RN-AdS.

  4. Charged black hole solutions in $f(R,T)$ gravity coupled to nonlinear electrodynamics

    gr-qc 2024-11 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The authors derive a family of charged black hole metrics in f(R,T)=R+βT gravity with Lagrangian L=f0+F+αF^p, show they have curvature singularities at the origin, and use the Sgr A* shadow to place weak upper bounds ...
