Bouncing behavior in $f(R,L_m)$ gravity: Phantom crossing and energy conditions

Abstract

In this work, we investigate the bouncing behavior of the universe within the framework of $f(R,L_m)$ gravity, using a simple form of $f(R,L_m)=\frac{R}{2}+L_m^{\gamma }$ (where $\gamma$ is a free model parameter) as previously studied. The model predicts a vanishing Hubble parameter in the early and late times, with the deceleration parameter approaching a specific limit at the bouncing point. The EoS parameter is observed to cross the phantom divide line ($\omega =-1$) near the bouncing point, indicating a significant transition from a contracting to an expanding phase. The model satisfies the necessary energy conditions for a successful bouncing scenario, with violations indicating exotic matter near the bouncing point. Stability conditions are satisfied for certain values of $\gamma$ near the bouncing point, but potential instabilities in late-time evolution require further investigation. Finally, we conclude that the $f(R,L_m)$ gravity model is promising for understanding the universe's dynamics, especially during events like the bouncing phase.
