Search for the $f(R,T)$ gravity functional form via gaussian processes

Abstract

The $f(R,T)$ gravity models, for which $R$ is the Ricci scalar and $T$ is the trace of the energy-momentum tensor, elevate the degrees of freedom of the renowned $f(R)$ theories, by making the Einstein field equations of the theory to also depend on $T$. While such a dependence can be motivated by quantum effects, the existence of imperfect or extra fluids, or even a cosmological ``constant'' which effectively depends on $T$, the formalism can truly surpass some deficiencies of $f(R)$ gravity. As the $f(R,T)$ function is arbitrary, several parametric models have been proposed {\it ad hoc} in the literature and posteriorly confronted with observational data. In the present article, we use gaussian process to construct an $f(R,T)=R+f(T)$ model. To apply the gaussian process we use a series of measurements of the Hubble parameter. We then analytically obtain the functional form of the function. By construction, this form, which is novel in the literature, is well-adjusted to cosmological data. In addition, by extrapolating our reconstruction to redshift $z=0$, we were able to constrain the Hubble constant value to $H_0=69.97\pm 4.13$$\mathrm{km}{\mathrm{s}}^{-1}\mathrm{Mp}{\mathrm{c}}^{-1}$ with $5\%$ precision. Lastly, we encourage the application of the functional form herewith obtained to other current problems of observational cosmology and astrophysics, such as the rotation curves of galaxies.
