Perturbations in Regularized Lovelock Gravity
arXiv:2004.10229 · doi:10.1016/j.dark.2021.100771
Abstract
In this paper we study the perturbation theory of the recently proposed Regularized Lovelock Gravity, on the curved FLRW space-time. We provide the first order perturbation equations both in the scalar and tensor sector in the presence of an additional minimally coupled scalar field. A general expression for the velocity of gravitational waves at the generic order is inferred. Moreover, we apply the results on the study of slow-roll inflation on flat FLRW background, at second order in the Regularized Lovelock Gravity, i.e. in the presence of the Gauss-Bonnet correction only. We derive the power spectra of scalar and tensor perturbations, and provide the equations for the inflation observable quantities: the spectral indices and the tensor-to-scalar spectra ratio.
