Some Bianchi type-V accelerating cosmological models in f(R,T) = f1(R) + f2(T) formalism

Abstract

In this paper, we have studied the transition and physical behavior of Bianchi type-V cosmological models within the formalism of [Formula: see text] gravity. To obtain the solution of field equations and phase transition of universe consistent with recent cosmological observations, time varying deceleration parameters are considered. In this paper, we used two different scale factors of the form (i) [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] are constants. Here, for [Formula: see text] the universe shows transition with accelerated expansion. (ii) [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are constants. For [Formula: see text], the universe achieves a phase transition from early decelerating to current accelerating phase. The model I initially starts with quintessence scenario ([Formula: see text]) and ends up with ([Formula: see text]) as a model with cosmological constant ([Formula: see text]) as [Formula: see text]. Model II, for [Formula: see text] indicates the phantom energy scenario and for [Formula: see text], the model starts with quintessence [Formula: see text] and ends with vacuum energy scenario. A point type singularity has been observed in the derived model I. Some physical and geometrical properties of the models have been established and discussed to derive the validity of models with respect to recent astrophysical observations.
