Finite-time cosmological singularities and the possible fate of the Universe

J de Haro, S Nojiri, SD Odintsov, VK Oikonomou, S Pan - Physics Reports, 2023 - Elsevier
Singularities in any physical theory are either remarkable indicators of the unknown
underlying fundamental theory, or indicate a change in the description of the physical reality …

Modified gravity theories on a nutshell: Inflation, bounce and late-time evolution

S Nojiri, SD Odintsov, VK Oikonomou - Physics Reports, 2017 - Elsevier
We systematically review some standard issues and also the latest developments of
modified gravity in cosmology, emphasizing on inflation, bouncing cosmology and late-time …

Mimetic gravity: a review of recent developments and applications to cosmology and astrophysics

L Sebastiani, S Vagnozzi… - Advances in High Energy …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Mimetic gravity is a Weyl‐symmetric extension of General Relativity, related to the latter by a
singular disformal transformation, wherein the appearance of a dust‐like perfect fluid can …

Inflationary cosmology in modified gravity theories

K Bamba, SD Odintsov - Symmetry, 2015 - mdpi.com
We review inflationary cosmology in modified gravity such as R 2 gravity with its extensions
in order to generalize the Starobinsky inflation model. In particular, we explore inflation …

Cosmological inflation in gravity

M De Laurentis, M Paolella, S Capozziello - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
Cosmological inflation is discussed in the framework of F (R, G) gravity where F is a generic
function of the curvature scalar R and the Gauss–Bonnet topological invariant G. The main …

Inflationary universe from perfect fluid and gravity and its comparison with observational data

K Bamba, S Nojiri, SD Odintsov, D Saez-Gomez - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS
We investigate the descriptions for the observables of inflationary models, in particular, the
spectral index of curvature perturbations, the tensor-to-scalar ratio, and the running of the …

Traversable wormholes and energy conditions with two different shape functions in gravity

N Godani, GC Samanta - International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2019 - World Scientific
Traversable wormholes, tunnel-like structures introduced by Morris and Thorne [Am. J. Phys.
56 (1988) 395], have a significant role in connection of two different spacetimes or two …

Analytic extensions of Starobinsky model of inflation

VR Ivanov, SV Ketov, EO Pozdeeva… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We study several extensions of the Starobinsky model of inflation, which obey all
observational constraints on the inflationary parameters, by demanding that both the inflaton …

Bouncing cosmology with future singularity from modified gravity

SD Odintsov, VK Oikonomou - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
We investigate which Jordan frame F (R) gravity can describe a type IV singular bouncing
cosmological evolution, with special emphasis given near the point at which the type IV …

Tideless traversable wormholes surrounded by cloud of strings in f (R) gravity

DJ Gogoi, UD Goswami - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the tideless traversable wormholes in the f (R) gravity metric formalism. First we
consider three shape functions of wormholes and study their viabilities and structures. The …
