The influence of non-minimal coupling of a scalar field and the Gauss-Bonnet term on the inflationary stage of evolution of the universe is investigated in this paper. The main cosmological effects of such a coupling were considered. The deviations between Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet inflation and standard one based on Einstein gravity were determined. The corrections of a weak GB coupling preserving the type of the scalar field potential to standard inflationary models is considered as well.

  1. Inflaton Dynamics in Higher-Derivative Scalar-Tensor Theories of Gravity

    gr-qc 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the weakly coupled regime of a four-derivative scalar-tensor theory, large inflationary inhomogeneities decay just as in general relativity, and only finely tuned initial data can escape the effective field theory'...

  2. Adiabatic Perturbations in GW170817-Compatible Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet Inflation

    gr-qc 2026-08 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    In Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet inflation, the unconstrained GW170817-compatible models keep perturbations adiabatic, while the constrained class violates adiabaticity in the last few e-foldings.

  3. Einstein--Gauss--Bonnet Inflationary Cosmology in Phase-$\theta$ Formalism

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Phase-θ formalism maps EGB inflation backgrounds to closed-form observables beyond slow-roll; Starobinsky+linear-GB fits ACT DR6 ns and r while predicting a DECIGO-accessible GW plateau.

  4. Non-Standard Thermal History and Formation of Primordial Black Holes in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet Gravity

    gr-qc 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A tuned Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet inflation model can create primordial black holes from asteroid-sized to tens of solar masses and secondary gravitational waves, with abundances that change dramatically in a stiff post-i...

  5. From Quantum Correlations to Inflationary Tracking Scalar Field Evolution

    gr-qc 2026-08 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    The author argues, via condensed-matter-style analogies, that the inflationary tracking condition emerges when the correlation length of primordial quantum degrees of freedom scales as a power of the Hubble radius.

  6. GW170817 Viable Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet Inflation Compatible with the Atacama Cosmology Telescope Data

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet inflation models with tuned small couplings can reproduce the ACT scalar spectral index and the Planck tensor-to-scalar ratio bound while keeping the gravitational wave speed within the GW170817 limit.
