abstract
We present a model in which the Gauss-Bonnet invariant holds the quintessence at a fixed point, respecting an initial $Z_2$ symmetry in the radiation-dominated era. This results in an early dark energy that becomes significant around the matter-radiation equality era. However, due to $Z_2$ symmetry breaking, scalarization occurs, leading to a rapid reduction in the early dark energy density. The model then quickly behaves like the $\Lambda$CDM model. This scenario may also explain the reduction of sound horizon and aligns with the assumption that the gravitational wave speed is infinitesimally close to the speed of light.

Gauss-Bonnet-induced symmetry breaking/restoration during inflation
A Gauss-Bonnet coupling can flip a scalar field's effective mass sign during inflation, triggering symmetry breaking or restoration mid-inflation while leaving the inflationary background and its CMB predictions essen...
