| contents | The expansion of the Universe in $f(R,T)$ gravity is studied. We consider functions of the form $f(R,T)=R+λT^ε$ where $ε<1$. We find that for all models with $ε<0$, the Universe transitions to exponential growth at late times, just as it does in the standard cosmological model, which corresponds to $ε=0$. It also fits the type Ia supernova data slightly better than the standard cosmological model, without increasing the number of parameters of the theory. In contrast, the fits for $ε>0$ rapidly become worse than the standard cosmological model. |
