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.

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.
Nonminimal curvature-matter coupling produces dynamical dark energy consistent with DESI observations and lunar laser ranging equivalence principle constraints.
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.
Authors add induced gravity and a polynomial potential to an F(R) model, transform to a two-field chiral cosmology, and find parameter choices that match ACT inflation data while yielding PBH masses compatible with dark matter.
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.
Modified gravity theories supply viable mathematical frameworks for inflation, bounces, and dark energy eras that match observational data.
