Abstract

The present work reports study on the interacting Ricci dark energy in a modified gravity theory named f(R, T) gravity. In the specific model f(R, T) = μ R + ν T we have observed a quintom-like behavior of the equation of state parameter and a transition from matter dominated to dark energy density has been observed through fraction density evolution. The statefinder parameters reveal that the model interpolates between dust and \(\Uplambda\hbox{CDM}\) phases of the universe.
