Power-Law Expansion and Scalar Field Cosmology in Higher Derivative Theory

Abstract: In this paper we study the evolution of a flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker model filled with a perfect fluid and a scalar field minimally coupled to gravity in higher derivative theory of gravitation. Exact solution of the field equations are obtained by the assumption of power-law form of the scale factor. A number of evolutionary phases of the universe including the present accelerating phase are found to exist with scalar field in the higher derivative theory of gravitation. The properties of scalar field an… Show more

“…In other words, the energy density of matter must be positive. This procedure has been followed in many earlier works [67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75] (see also our recent work [66] and references therein).…”

“…Harko et al [70] have presented several exact cosmological solutions with a scalar field as the only matter source in GR. Many researchers have studied some of the most intriguing aspects of our universe containing a self-interacting scalar field possessing an interaction potential as the only matter source in modified gravity [69,71,72]. In [52], the authors also have introduced a version of f (R, T ) gravity for scalar field cosmology, namely, f (R, T φ ) gravity by considering in the action an algebraic function F(R, φ) of the Ricci curvature R and scalar field φ.…”

“…In Refs. [20][21][22], the authors described the power-law cosmic expansion in higher derivative gravity. Harko et al [23] included the trace of the Stressenergy tensor in the action along with the Ricci scalar and developed a new theory named ` theory'.…”
