We discuss how the modifications of the standard Einstein's equations needed to support the cosmological bounce can at the same time lead to vanishing of the well known cosmological constant problem, while also studying the effects of…

In this work, the $f(\mathcal{G},T)$ theory of gravity is recast in terms of the $\phi$ and $\psi$ fields within the scalar-tensor formulation, where $\mathcal{G}$ is the Gauss-Bonnet term and $T$ denotes the trace of the energy-momentum…

We consider cosmological dynamics in fourth order gravity with both $f(R)$ and $\Phi(\mathcal {G})$ correction to the Einstein gravity ($\mathcal{G}$ is the Gauss-Bonnet term). The particular case for which both terms are equally important…

The ekpyrotic and cyclic universe scenarios have revived the idea that the density perturbations apparent in today's universe could have been generated in a `pre-singularity' epoch before the big bang. These scenarios provide explicit…
