Journal Article
Weyl type f(Q, T) gravity, and its cosmological implications
2020
Overview
We consider an
f
(
Q
,
T
) type gravity model in which the scalar non-metricity
Q
α
μ
ν
of the space-time is expressed in its standard Weyl form, and it is fully determined by a vector field
w
μ
. The field equations of the theory are obtained under the assumption of the vanishing of the total scalar curvature, a condition which is added into the gravitational action via a Lagrange multiplier. The gravitational field equations are obtained from a variational principle, and they explicitly depend on the scalar nonmetricity and on the Lagrange multiplier. The covariant divergence of the matter energy-momentum tensor is also determined, and it follows that the nonmetricity-matter coupling leads to the nonconservation of the energy and momentum. The energy and momentum balance equations are explicitly calculated, and the expressions of the energy source term and of the extra force are found. We investigate the cosmological implications of the theory, and we obtain the cosmological evolution equations for a flat, homogeneous and isotropic geometry, which generalize the Friedmann equations of standard general relativity. We consider several cosmological models by imposing some simple functional forms of the function
f
(
Q
,
T
), and we compare the predictions of the theory with the standard
Λ
CDM model.
