abstract

We propose the Gauss-Bonnet dark energy model inspired by string/M-theory where standard gravity with scalar contains additional scalar-dependent coupling with Gauss-Bonnet invariant. It is demonstrated that effective phantom (or quintessence) phase of late universe may occur in the presence of such term when the scalar is phantom or for non-zero potential (for canonical scalar). However, with the increase of the curvature the GB term may become dominant so that phantom phase is transient and $w=-1$ barrier may be passed. Hence, the current acceleration of the universe may be caused by mixture of scalar phantom and (or) potential/stringy effects. It is remarkable that scalar-Gauss-Bonnet coupling acts against the Big Rip occurence in phantom cosmology.

Gravitational Memory from Hairy Binary Black Hole Mergers

gr-qc · 2026-04-10 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

Gravitational memory from hairy binary black hole mergers in scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity differs from GR by a few percent due to altered nonlinear dynamics, with direct scalar contributions suppressed, and including memory increases GR-sGB mismatch by more than an order of magnitude.

Towards Stochastic Inflation in Higher-Curvature Gravity

gr-qc · 2025-06-26 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Stochastic inflation with Gauss-Bonnet coupling to the inflaton yields first-passage-time estimates of the scalar power spectrum and PBH mass fraction in slow-roll and ultra-slow-roll limits.
