abstract

In the present paper we will investigate the relation between scalar-tensor theory and $f(R)$ theories of gravity. Such studies have been performed in the past for the metric formalism of $f(R)$ gravity; here we will consider mainly the Palatini formalism, where the metric and the connections are treated as independent quantities. We will try to investigate under which circumstances $f(R)$ theories of gravity are equivalent to scalar-tensor theory and examine the implications of this equivalence, when it exists.

  1. Phase-resolved field-space distance criteria in ekpyrotic, bouncing and cyclic cosmologies

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Proposes phase-resolved invariant path-length criteria and a master formula for lower bound on ε_ek in ekpyrotic cosmologies, using BKL suppression and conversion windows as constraints.

  2. 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.

  3. Tracing Signatures of Modified Gravity in Redshift-Space Galaxy Bispectrum Multipoles: Prospects for Euclid

    astro-ph.CO 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    In Hu-Sawicki f(R) gravity the redshift-space bispectrum monopole and quadrupole show 2-8% deviations from GR at z=0.7 and k~0.3 h/Mpc with forecasted SNR of 30 and 15 for Euclid.

  4. Geometric formulation of $k$-essence and late-time acceleration

    gr-qc 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Integrable vectorial nonmetricity gravity is shown to be equivalent to purely kinetic quadratic k-essence, which fits late-time data as well as ΛCDM.

  5. Redshift evolution of the Hubble constant: Constraints and new insights from an interacting dark energy model

    astro-ph.CO 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Modified IDE model with interaction parameter alpha ~0.01 from late-universe data shows H0 decreasing with redshift, tightening to 10^-5 when CMB priors are added.

  6. Investigating $f(R)$-Inflation: background evolution and constraints

    astro-ph.CO 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A Jordan-frame f(R) model with particle creation during inflation is fitted to DESI and Pantheon+ data, yielding H0=71.04 and a claimed reduction of the Hubble tension to about 1.6-2.8 sigma.

  7. Bayesian and Machine-Learning Analyses of Nonminimal $f(Q)$ Gravity and $H_0$ Tension

    gr-qc 2025-11 reject novelty 3.0 of 10

    A nonminimal f(Q) gravity model fitted to CC, DESI BAO and three supernova samples gives H0 ≈ 68 km/s/Mpc, similar to ΛCDM, and is disfavored by BIC.

  8. Testing Extended Theories of Gravity via Black Hole Photon Rings

    gr-qc 2025-05 conditional novelty 3.0 of 10

    For Konoplya-Zhidenko deformed Schwarzschild black holes, epsilon controls photon sphere, shadow, and photon ring size while a2 and b2 are observationally degenerate, and EHT data constrain epsilon to about -0.09 to 0...
