Higher-Order Corrections to the Effective Gravitational Action from Noether Symmetry Approach

arXiv:gr-qc/9912084 · doi:10.1023/A:1001935510837

Abstract

Higher-order corrections of Einstein-Hilbert action of general relativity can be recovered by imposing the existence of a Noether symmetry to a class of theories of gravity where Ricci scalar R and its d'Alembertian are present. In several cases, it is possible to get exact cosmological solutions or, at least, to simplify dynamics by recovering constants of motion. The main result is that a Noether vector seems to rule the presence of higher-order corrections of gravitaty.
