Generalized sixth-order gravity and inflation
The authors consider sixth-order theories of gravity with Lagrangians containing the term R N Square Operator R, where N>1 is an integer. A conformal transformation gives a picture with two scalar fields in Einstein's theory. They find de Sitter and power law inflationary solutions. However,...

| Summary: | The authors consider sixth-order theories of gravity with Lagrangians containing the term R N Square Operator R, where N>1 is an integer. A conformal transformation gives a picture with two scalar fields in Einstein's theory. They find de Sitter and power law inflationary solutions. However, the theory has an unstable weak-field behaviour, because the linearized field equation is of lower order than the non-linear one. |
