Reconstructing Barrow Holographic Dark Energy in $f(Q,T)$ Gravity and Cosmic Constraint

Abstract

In this work, we reconstruct the cosmological evolution of Barrow Holographic Dark Energy (BHDE) within the framework of modified gravity $f(Q,T)$. Working in the coincident gauge, we incorporate the holographic principle into non-metric gravity with non-minimal matter coupling. To address the dynamical complexity, we adopt a reconstruction approach, deriving the matter density evolution from the modified field equations rather than imposing a conserved fluid a priori. We perform parameter estimation using the latest observational data, including Type Ia supernovae, BAO, and direct Hubble parameter measurements. Our results show that the model provides a theoretical framework to describe late-time cosmic evolution and the universe's accelerated expansion. Despite the additional complexity introduced, the model offers an alternative approach for investigating dark energy within modified gravity theories.
