Introduction
Our best theory of gravity, general relativity, is currently under sharp scrutiny. In the ultraviolet, we expect modifications in order to accommodate a quantum description of gravity, while in the infrared, we have the cosmological constant problem. Motivated by these issues, my research focuses on understanding the predictions of modified gravity theories, and constraining the theory space through observations. My primary interest lies in understanding the cosmological evolution of dark energy

We have presented systematically the effect of the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) in Casimir wormholes space-time in the recently proposed modified gravity, the so-called symmetric teleparallel gravity or f (Q) gravity. Here Q is the non-metricity scalar that drives the gravitation interaction. We consider two famous GUP relations, such as...

In this study, we explore several new characteristics of a static anisotropic hybrid star with strange quark matter (SQM) and ordinary baryonic matter (OBM) distribution. Here, we use the MIT bag model equation of state to connect the density and pressure of SQM inside stars, whereas the linear equation of state $$p_r =\alpha \rho -\beta $$ p r = α...

Symmetric teleparallel gravity offers to reformulate the gravitational formalism without the presence of curvature and torsion with the help of non-metricity tensors. Interestingly, Symmetric teleparallel gravity can be formulated equivalently to teleparallel gravity or general relativity for an appropriate setup. In this study, our aim lies in exp...

Gravitational baryogenesis is one of the mechanisms which help us to explore more about our early universe, especially baryon-anti-baryon asymmetry. As we know, modified theories of gravity are very successful in describing the present accelerated scenario of the universe. Therefore, in this letter, we aim to constrain the generalized torsion-based...

In the last few decades, gravastars have been proposed as an alternative to black holes. The stability of the gravastar has been studied in many modified theories of gravity along with Einstein's GR. The $f(Q,T)$ gravity, a successfully modified theory of gravity for describing the current accelerated expansion of the Universe, has been used in thi...

In this work, we intend to explore wormhole geometries in the framework of f (R, L m) gravity. We derive the field equations for the generic f (R, L m) function by assuming the static and spherically symmetric Morris-Thorne wormhole metric. Then we consider two non-linear f (R, L m) model, specifically, f (R, L m) = R 2 + L α m and f (R, L m) = R 2...

The rising concern in the Hubble constant tension (H0 tension) of the cosmological models motivates the scientific community to search for alternative cosmological scenarios that could resolve the H0 tension.
