The modified gravity, which eliminates the need for dark energy and which seems to be stable, is considered. The terms with positive powers of the curvature support the inflationary epoch while the terms with negative powers of the curvature serve as effective dark energy, supporting current cosmic acceleration. The equivalent scalar-tensor gravity may be compatible with the simplest solar system experiments.

    gr-qc 2025-07 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    An exponentially deformed R^2 gravity model is claimed to produce total equation-of-state oscillations near z~3400 that enhance the primordial gravitational wave spectrum at LiteBIRD frequencies.

  7. Unifying Cosmic Epochs via Quantum-Corrected Expansion with Brane-World Parallels

    hep-th 2025-05 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    A single analytical scale factor with sigmoid-smoothed parameters is proposed to interpolate between inflation, radiation, matter, and dark-energy epochs.

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    Ghost-free non-local gravity fits Pantheon+, DESI, and H(z) data but fails with added CMB, while generalized exponential F(R) gravity outperforms Lambda CDM across all datasets including CMB.

    gr-qc 2025-10 reject novelty 3.0 of 10

    Rearranging the Wheeler-DeWitt equation defines the inflaton potential in terms of an arbitrary wave-function phase and amplitude; nothing constrains that wave function, so the potential is relabeled rather than deriv...
