    F(T, R) theory of gravity

    Salti, Mustafa; Korunur, Murat; Acikgoz, Irfan; Pirinccioglu, Nurettin; Binbay, Figen

    We mainly focus on the idea that the dynamics of the whole universe may be understood by making use of torsion T and curvature R at the same time. The f(T,R)-gravity can be considered as a fundamental gravitational theory describing the evolution of the universe. The model can produce the unification of the general relativity (GR), teleparallel gravity (TPG), f(R)-gravity and f(T)-gravity theories. For this purpose, the corresponding Lagrangian density is written in terms of an arbitrary function of the torsion and curvature scalars. Furthermore, we use the absence/existence puzzle of relativistic neutron stars and thermodynamical laws as constraining tools for the new proposal.

    Cosmology via thermodynamics of polytropic gas

    Askin, Muzaffer; Salti, Mustafa; Aydogdu, Oktay

    We study cosmological scenarios of the polytropic gas (PG) dark matter-energy proposal in a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) Universe. As a first step, we obtain an exact expression for the energy density of PG model by making use of the thermodynamics. Later, we investigate some cosmological quantities and perform neo-classical analyzes. Finally, we implement a connection between the PG and a homogenous minimally coupled scalar field by introducing its self-interacting potential.
