The study of Gödel type solutions in f(R, ϕ) gravity

The aim of this paper is to study the Gödel type universe in modified f(R, ϕ) theory of gravity, where R stands for Ricci scalar and ϕ be the scalar potential. We investigate the modified field equations by using anisotropic and perfect fluid distributions. In particular, we consider two proposed models with some fixed values of parameters and investigate the exact solutions. The behaviour of energy conditions can be seen by a detailed graphical analysis. Furthermore, Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equation has been studied for both models in this theory. We have also discussed some exact solutions using perfect fluid. It is concluded that f(R, ϕ) theory of gravity support the phenomenon of cosmic expansion of the universe through Gödel type universe for both models.
