abstract

We address the issue of the existence of inequivalent definitions of gravitational mass in $R^{2}$-gravity. We present several definitions of gravitational mass, and discuss the formal relations between them. We then consider the concrete case of a static and spherically symmetric neutron star, and solve numerically the equations of motion for several values of the free parameter of the model. We compare the features of the mass-radius relations obtained for each definition of gravitational mass, and we comment on their dependence on the free parameter. We then argue that $R^{2}$-gravity is a valuable proxy to discuss the existence of inequivalent definitions of gravitational mass in a generic modified gravity theory, and present some comments on the general case.

  1. Rotating Fermion-Boson Stars in $R$-squared Gravity

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    R-squared gravity enlarges the equilibrium domain of rotating fermion-boson stars and raises static and Keplerian maximum masses relative to GR while remaining compatible with current compact-object constraints.

  2. Thermodynamics of $f(R)$ Theories

    gr-qc 2024-11 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Starting from a quadratic Einstein-frame potential, f(R) gravity is mapped onto a van der Waals-like thermodynamic system in which inflation appears as a metastable phase and its exit as a first-order phase transition.
