Born-Infeldf(R)gravity

Abstract: Motivated by the properties of matter quantum fields in curved spacetimes, we work out a gravity theory that combines the Born-Infeld gravity Lagrangian with an f (R) piece. To avoid ghost-like instabilities, the theory is formulated within the Palatini approach. This construction provides more freedom to address a number of important questions such as the dynamics of the early universe and the cosmic accelerated expansion, among others. In particular, we consider the effect that adding an f (R) = aR 2 term ha… Show more
