We point out that extended gravity theories, the Lagrangian of which is an arbitrary function of scalar curvature $R$, are equivalent to a class of the scalar tensor theories of gravity. The corresponding gravity theory is $\omega=0$ Brans-Dicke gravity with a potential for the Brans-Dicke scalar field, which is not compatible with solar system experiments if the field is very light: the case when such modifications are important recently.

  1. Ordering-Independent Wheeler-DeWitt Equation for Flat Minisuperspace Models

    hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Path-integral measures determine operator orderings for the Wheeler-DeWitt equation in flat minisuperspace models, with all consistent choices yielding identical physical observables via field redefinition Jacobians.

  2. Evolving Dark Energy Is Vacuum Energy After All

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A QCD-vacuum-based model of dynamical dark energy fits Planck+ACT+SPT, DESI DR2, and supernova data while reproducing the late-time evolution favored by DESI.

  3. Evolving Dark Energy Is Vacuum Energy After All

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 conditional novelty 5.0

    A QCD-vacuum dark-energy model with a two-parameter switch reproduces the DESI-preferred late-time expansion and is mildly favoured over ΛCDM by Bayesian evidence (lnB≈2.7).

  4. Primordial Black Hole Formation in $f(R)=R+\alpha R^2$ Gravity: Perturbative and Non-Perturbative Analysis

    gr-qc 2026-01 reject novelty 4.0

    The paper claims a positive R² curvature term accelerates dust collapse and lowers the primordial-black-hole formation threshold, but the quantitative shift and the derived bound on α are not actually computed.

  5. Modified Gravity and Cosmology

    astro-ph.CO 2011-06 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    A comprehensive review of modified gravity theories and their cosmological consequences, including a parameterized post-Friedmannian formalism for constraining deviations from General Relativity.
