Primordial black holes from Gauss-Bonnet-corrected single field inflation

S Kawai, J Kim - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
Primordial black holes formed in the early Universe via gravitational collapse of over-dense
regions may contribute a significant amount to the present dark matter relic density. Inflation …

Testing viable extensions of Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet gravity

SD Odintsov, DSC Gómez, GS Sharov - Physics of the Dark Universe, 2022 - Elsevier
Some models within the framework of Gauss–Bonnet gravities are considered in the
presence of a non-minimally coupled scalar field. By imposing a particular constraint on the …

Unifying inflation with early and late dark energy in Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet gravity

S Nojiri, SD Odintsov, DSC Gómez - Physics of the Dark Universe, 2023 - Elsevier
In the era of precision cosmology, different observational data has led to precise
measurements of the Hubble constant that differ significantly, what has been called the …

CMB from a Gauss-Bonnet-induced de Sitter fixed point

S Kawai, J Kim - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
In the gravitational effective theories including higher curvature terms, cosmological
solutions can have nontrivial de Sitter fixed points. We study phenomenological implications …

Construction of inflationary scenarios with the Gauss–Bonnet term and nonminimal coupling

EO Pozdeeva, SY Vernov - The European Physical Journal C, 2021 - Springer
Inflationary models with a scalar field nonminimally coupled both with the Ricci scalar and

De Sitter Solutions in Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet Gravity

S Vernov, E Pozdeeva - Universe, 2021 - mdpi.com
De Sitter solutions play an important role in cosmology because the knowledge of unstable
de Sitter solutions can be useful to describe inflation, whereas stable de Sitter solutions are …

Higher derivative scalar tensor theory in unitary gauge

P Joshi, S Panda - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Ostrogradsky instability generally appears in nondegenerate higher-order derivative
theories and this issue can be resolved by removing any existing degeneracy present in …

Higher-curvature corrections and tensor modes

W Giarè, F Renzi, A Melchiorri - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
Higher-curvature corrections to the effective gravitational action may leave signatures in the
