Are there Einsteinian gravities involving covariant derivatives of the Riemann tensor?
Jose D. Edelstein, Alberto Rivadulla Sánchez, David Vázquez Rodríguez
We study the particle content of higher derivative theories of gravity built with contractions of the Riemann tensor and its covariant derivatives. In the absence of the latter, th…
Small free field inflation in higher curvature gravity
Jose D. Edelstein, Robert B. Mann, David Vázquez Rodríguez +1
Within General Relativity, a minimally coupled scalar field governed by a quadratic potential is able to produce an accelerated expansion of the universe provided its value and exc…
Aspects of Geometric Inflation
Jose D. Edelstein, David Vázquez Rodríguez, Alejandro Vilar López
We revisit the recently proposed mechanism of Geometric Inflation. On general grounds, we show that obtaining the right amount of inflation demands an exceedingly large initial ene…
