Abstract

We present phenomenological signatures for a modified gravity model f(R), constructed with linear, quadratic, cubic and quartic terms. The obtained signatures satisfy current phenomenological bounds reported by PLANCK and BICEP3. Furthermore, two of the model solutions σ1\sigma_1 and σ2\sigma_2 seem to favor a much lower value for the tensor-to-scalar ratio 0.0005<rσ1<0.00150.0005<r_{\sigma_1}<0.0015 and rσ2<0.00015r_{\sigma_2}<0.00015 than the current reported experimental bounds. The results we obtained are quantitatively similar to those presented in previous studies for R3R^3 models.
