abstract

For higher-derivative f(R) gravity where R is the Ricci scalar, a class of models is proposed which produce viable cosmology different from the LambdaCDM one at recent times and satisfy cosmological, Solar system and laboratory tests. These models have both flat and de Sitter space-times as particular solutions in the absence of matter. Thus, a cosmological constant is zero in flat space-time, but appears effectively in a curved one for sufficiently large R. A 'smoking gun' for these models would be small discrepancy in values of the slope of the primordial perturbation power spectrum determined from galaxy surveys and CMB fluctuations. On the other hand, a new problem for dark energy models based on f(R) gravity is pointed which is connected with possible overproduction of new massive scalar particles (scalarons) arising in this theory in the very early Universe.

Unveiling $f(R)$ Gravity with Void-Galaxy Cross-Correlation Multipoles

astro-ph.CO · 2026-05-12 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0 · 2 refs

Semi-analytical calculation of void-galaxy cross-correlation multipoles in Hu-Sawicki f(R) gravity reveals size-dependent deviations from LambdaCDM up to 29.7 percent for small voids, amplified by nonlinear evolution and potentially observable in Stage-IV surveys.

Ultraviolet completion of Starobinsky inflation

hep-th · 2026-05-06 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

A supergravity construction using two chiral superfields embeds arbitrary F(R) gravity as a UV completion of Starobinsky inflation, stabilized by the dilaton and consistent with swampland constraints in a heterotic string example.

From minimal-length quantum theory to modified gravity

gr-qc · 2025-11-18 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

A systematic mapping is derived from GUP parameters in minimal-length quantum theory to higher-order curvature coefficients in extended gravity, with an application yielding an upper bound on the minimal measurable length via light deflection corrections.

Dynamical analysis of the covariant $f(Q)$ gravity models

gr-qc · 2026-04-28 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

Power-law and logarithmic coupling models in covariant f(Q) gravity reproduce radiation, matter, and dark energy eras through dynamical systems analysis of critical points and their stability.
