LRS Bianchi-I transit universe with periodic varying q in f(R,T) gravity
Abstract
We have investigated the cosmic transit behavior of LRS Bianchi-I universe in modified f(R,T) gravity theory whose functional form is taken as f(R,T)=R+2f(t), where R is Ricci scalar and T is the energy–momentum tensor. Subjecting the deceleration parameter q to periodic variations as q=kcos(βt)−1, where k,β>0, the oscillatory behavior of EoS parameter and violation of energy–momentum conservation in the wide range of parameters have been observed. Hubble parameter oscillates but remains positive which signify the alternate decelerating and accelerating expansion of universe with no singularity.
