Role of extended gravity theory in matter bounce dynamics

Abstract

Abstract In this work, we have studied some bouncing cosmologies in the frame work of f(R, T) gravity. The bouncing scenario has been formulated to avoid the big bang singularity. The physical and geometrical parameters are investigated. The effect of the extended gravity theory on the dynamical parameters of the model has been investigated. It is found that, the f(R, T) gravity parameter affects the cosmic dynamics substantially. We have also, tested the model through the calculation of the cosmographic coefficients and the Om(z) parameter. A scalar field reconstruction of the bouncing scenario is also carried out. The stability of the model are tested under linear, homogeneous and isotropic perturbations.
