We propose the Gauss-Bonnet dark energy model inspired by string/M-theory where standard gravity with scalar contains additional scalar-dependent coupling with Gauss-Bonnet invariant. It is demonstrated that effective phantom (or quintessence) phase of late universe may occur in the presence of such term when the scalar is phantom or for non-zero potential (for canonical scalar). However, with the increase of the curvature the GB term may become dominant so that phantom phase is transient and $w=-1$ barrier may be passed. Hence, the current acceleration of the universe may be caused by mixture of scalar phantom and (or) potential/stringy effects. It is remarkable that scalar-Gauss-Bonnet coupling acts against the Big Rip occurence in phantom cosmology.

  1. Gravitational Memory from Hairy Binary Black Hole Mergers

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    Gravitational memory from hairy binary black hole mergers in scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity differs from GR by a few percent due to altered nonlinear dynamics, with direct scalar contributions suppressed, and including m...

  2. Photon Sphere and Shadow of a Perturbative Black Hole in $f(R,\mathcal{G})$ Gravity

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Perturbative higher-curvature corrections in f(R,G) gravity shift the photon-sphere radius and black-hole shadow size away from Schwarzschild values, with the Gauss-Bonnet sector contributing more than mixed terms.

    gr-qc 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Classical solutions for F(R) gravity in Bianchi type I cosmology with barotropic matter are derived via the Hamiltonian formalism in two gauges.
