We study the geometry of the phase space of spatially flat Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker models in f(R) gravity, for a general form of the function f(R). The equilibrium points (de Sitter spaces) and their stability are discussed, and a comparison is made with the phase space of the equivalent scalar-tensor theory. New effective Lagrangians and Hamiltonians are also presented.

  1. Spectrum of pure $R^2$ gravity: full Hamiltonian analysis

    gr-qc 2025-10 conditional novelty 7.0

    Pure R^2 gravity propagates three degrees of freedom nonlinearly but zero linearly around Minkowski and other traceless-Ricci R=0 spacetimes due to ten second-class constraints becoming first-class upon linearization.

  2. Dynamical system analysis of the cosmological phases in Palatini $k$-essence gravity

    gr-qc 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Dynamical systems analysis of a Palatini k-essence model identifies fixed points for quasi-de-Sitter epochs, scaling solutions, and quintessence phases connected by heteroclinic orbits in flat FLRW cosmology.
