$f\left(R,{\nabla }_{{\mu }_1}R,\dots ,{\nabla }_{{\mu }_1}\dots {\nabla }_{{\mu }_n}R\right)$ theories of gravity in Einstein frame: A higher order modified Starobinsky inflation model in the Palatini approach

R. R. Cuzinatto, C. A. M. de Melo, L. G. Medeiros +1

In Cuzinatto et al. [Phys. Rev. D 93, 124034 (2016)], it has been demonstrated that theories of gravity in which the Lagrangian includes terms depending on the scalar curvature $R$…
