Cosmological Consequences of Exponential Gravity in Palatini Formalism

arXiv:1012.3943 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2011.04.032

Abstract

We investigate cosmological consequences of a class of exponential gravity in the Palatini formalism. By using the current largest type Ia Supernova sample along with determinations of the cosmic expansion at intermediary and high- we impose tight constraints on the model parameters. Differently from other models, we find solutions of transient acceleration, in which the large-scale modification of gravity will drive the Universe to a new decelerated era in the future. We also show that a viable cosmological history with the usual matter-dominated era followed by an accelerating phase is predicted for some intervals of model parameters.
