Under the main assumption that the axion scalar field mainly composes the dark matter in the Universe, in this paper we shall extend the formalism of kinetic axion R2 gravity to include Gauss-Bonnet terms non-minimally ...

In this work we consider the realization of a variant emergent Universe scenario in the context of f(R) gravity. We use well-known reconstruction techniques existing in the literature, and we find the approximate form of ...
