A study of modified holographic Ricci dark energy in the framework of f(T) modified gravity and its statefinder hierarchy

Inspired by the work of Bamba et al., Phys. Rev. D 85, 104036 (2012) the present paper reports a study on the reconstruction of modified holographic Ricci dark energy (MHRDE) in the framework of modified gravity taken as f(T) gravity. A correspondence between modified Chaplygin gas (MCG) and MHRDE has also been considered and thereafter the f(T) gravity has been reconstructed via reconstruction of the Hubble parameter. The reconstructed equation of state (EoS) parameter obtained this way has been found to be able to cross the phantom boundary. In the next phase of the work a viable model of f(T) gravity has been considered and MHRDE has been discussed in this modified gravity frame. The EoS parameter due to the torsion contribution obtained this way has been found to behave like quintessence. The transition of the universe from the dark matter (DM) dominated to dark energy (DE) dominated phase is apparent from this model. Also, the model is exhibiting DE domination of the current universe. Finally, the statefinder hierarchy has been discussed through the statefinder and snap parameters. The model has been found to be able to attain the Î CDM fixed point in the statefinder trajectory.The accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.
