modified gravity in cosmology, emphasizing on inflation, bouncing cosmology and late-time …

Unified cosmic history in modified gravity: from F (R) theory to Lorentz non-invariant models

S Nojiri, SD Odintsov - Physics Reports, 2011 - Elsevier
The classical generalization of general relativity is considered as the gravitational alternative
for a unified description of the early-time inflation with late-time cosmic acceleration. The …

[HTML][HTML] f (R, T, RμνTμν) gravity phenomenology and ΛCDM universe

SD Odintsov, D Sáez-Gómez - Physics Letters B, 2013 - Elsevier
We propose general f (R, T, R μ ν T μ ν) theory as generalization of covariant Hořava-like

Accelerating universe from F(T) gravity

R Myrzakulov - The European Physical Journal C, 2011 - Springer
It is shown that the acceleration of the universe can be understood by considering a F (T)
gravity models. For these F (T) gravity models, a variant of the accelerating cosmology …

ΛCDM epoch reconstruction from F (R, G) and modified Gauss–Bonnet gravities

E Elizalde, R Myrzakulov, VV Obukhov… - … and Quantum Gravity, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
Dark energy cosmology is considered in a modified Gauss–Bonnet model of gravity with and
without a scalar field. It is shown that these generalizations of general relativity endow it with …

Cosmographic bounds on the cosmological deceleration-acceleration transition redshift in gravity

S Capozziello, O Farooq, O Luongo, B Ratra - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS

Is exponential gravity a viable description for the whole cosmological history?

SD Odintsov, D Sáez-Chillón Gómez… - The European Physical …, 2017 - Springer
Here we analyse a particular type of F (R) gravity, the so-called exponential gravity which
includes an exponential function of the Ricci scalar in the action. Such a term represents a …
