Reconstructing $f(R,T)$ gravity from holographic dark energy    [PDF]

M. J. S. Houndjo, Oliver F. Piattella

We consider cosmological scenarios based on $f(R,T)$ theories of gravity ($R$ is the Ricci scalar and $T$ is the trace of the energy-momentum tensor) and numerically reconstruct the function $f(R,T)$ which is able to reproduce the same expansion history generated, in the standard General Relativity theory, by dark matter and holographic dark energy. We consider two special $f(R,T)$ models: in the first instance, we investigate the modification $R + 2f(T)$, i.e. the usual Einstein-Hilbert term plus a $f(T)$ correction. In the second instance, we consider a $f(R)+\lambda T$ theory, i.e. a $T$ correction to the renown $f(R)$ theory of gravity.
