Modified theory of gravity and the history of cosmic evolution

Understand

A continuous transition from early Friedmann-like radiation era through to late time cosmic acceleration passing through a long Friedmann-like matter dominated era followed by a second phase of radiation era has been realized in modified theory of gravity containing a combination of curvature squared term, a linear term, a three-half term and an ideal fluid.

• Thus the history of cosmic evolution is explained by modified theory of gravity singlehandedly.
• The second phase of radiation-like era might provide an explanation to the hydrogen and helium reionization at low redshift.
