Cosmological constraints onf(G) dark energy models

Abstract: Modified gravity theories with the Gauss-Bonnet term G = R 2 − 4R µν R µν + R µνρσ R µνρσ have recently gained a lot of attention as a possible explanation of dark energy. We perform a thorough phase space analysis on the so-called f (G) models, where f (G) is some general function of the Gauss-Bonnet term, and derive conditions for the cosmological viability of f (G) dark energy models. Following the f (R) case, we show that these conditions can be nicely presented as geometrical constraints on the derivative… Show more

“…It is worth noting that, the critical lines are obtained from studying dynamical behavior of f (T ) gravity theories without any assumptions in [13] are in agreement with the relations between dimensionless variables Table 2. The viability condition for the f (R) and f (G) models have investigated in [14]- [16].…”

“…The matter action S m is the one which induces the energymomentum tensor T μν . We focus our attention on the metric formalism where the variation of the action (5) with respect to the metric tensor yields within the minimum principle the following general equation of motion [50][51][52][53][54]:…”

“…Similarly, f (T ) gravity is also a modified theory, which has attracted the attention of theoretical physicists gain insight in acceleration and regular thermal expansion of the late-time universe by assuming an alternative for the cosmological constant, where f (T ) is a function of the torsion scalar [14]. An endeavor was made by combining R and G in a bivariate function f (R, G) [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. The function f (R, G) provides a foundation for the double inflationary scenario [23].…”
