f(R) Gravity and scalar-tensor theory
read the original 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.

Phase-resolved field-space distance bounds in ekpyrotic, bouncing and cyclic cosmologies
Phase-resolved field-space distance bounds for non-inflationary smoothing yield a master lower bound on ε_ek and imply ultra-fast-roll ekpyrosis or modified bounces to match observed red-tilted perturbations.

Phase-resolved field-space distance bounds in ekpyrotic, bouncing and cyclic cosmologies
Phase-resolved scalar distance bounds are derived for ekpyrotic, bouncing, and cyclic cosmologies, yielding a master condition that lower-bounds ε_ek from remaining distance after conversion and bounce.
