Study of anisotropic polytropes in f (R, T) Theory

Noether Symmetry in f(T) Theory at the anisotropic universe

As it is well known, symmetry plays a crucial role in the theoretical physics. On other hand, the Noether symmetry is a useful procedure to select models motivated at a fundamental level, and to discover the exact solution to the given lagrangian. In this work, Noether symmetry in f(T) theory on a spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type I universe is considered. We discuss the Lagran...

1. Laertes is about to stab Hamlet. Claudius, watching from the wings, desperately wants Laertes to stab Hamlet and has implanted a device in Laertes’ brain that, if activated, will force him to stab Hamlet. Claudius intends to activate the device if it appears that Laertes will change his mind at the last moment. Laertes, however, stabs Hamlet of his own accord and Claudius’s device is never a...

f(R) gravity and scalar-tensor theory

In the present paper we will investigate the relation between scalar-tensor theory and f(R) theories of gravity. Such studies have been performed in the past for the metric formalism of f(R) gravity; here we will consider mainly the Palatini formalism, where the metric and the connections are treated as independent quantities. We will try to investigate under which circumstances f(R) theories o...

Effective temperature is a term used to rate the cooling or heating power of the physical environment in terms of dry bulb temperature. For livestock exposed to cold, windy environments, effective temperature must now be predicted by a wind-chill index prepared for humans and designed without regard to extemal insulation_ suck~hai r or wool. The human wind-chill relationship is quadratic in nat...
