“…Recently, a kind of modified theory of gravity has been developed, f (R, T ) gravity, which was first introduced in [122]. This new proposal for modifying gravity has been widely studied within various contexts such as thermodynamics [123][124][125][126], energy conditions [127][128][129], cosmological solutions from dynamical system point of view [130,131], anisotropic cosmology [132][133][134], wormhole solution [135], scalar perturbations [136], cosmology of non-interacting Chaplygin gas [137,138], and some other studies such as f (R, T ) gravity in higher dimensions [139][140][141][142], the effects of matter-curvature coupling on the distribution of matter configuration for a self-gravitating spherical body [143] and dark matter effects in spiral galaxies [144]. This theory extends f (R) gravity by including the trace of the energymomentum tensor (EMT), in addition to the Ricci curvature scalar.…”
