Working within the theory of modified Gauss-Bonnet gravity, we show that FLRW--like power--law solutions only exist for a very special class of f(G)theories. Furthermore, we point out that any transition from decelerated to accelerated…

A modified f(G) gravity model with coupling between matter and geometry is proposed, which is described by the product of the Lagrange density of the matter and an arbitrary function of the Gauss-Bonnet term. The field equations and the…

In a flat Friedmann-Lema\^{\i}tre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) geometry, we consider the expansion of the universe powered by the gravitationally induced `adiabatic' matter creation. To demonstrate how matter creation works well with the…

We consider scalar-Gauss-Bonnet and modified Gauss-Bonnet gravities and reconstruct these theories from the universe expansion history. In particular, we are able to construct versions of those theories (with and without ordinary matter),…

We study the geometry of the phase space of spatially flat Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker models in f(R) gravity, for a general form of the function f(R). The equilibrium points (de Sitter spaces) and their stability are discussed, and…

We study the late time evolution of negatively curved Friedmann--Le\-ma\^{\i}tre--Robert\-son--Walker (FLRW) models with a perfect fluid matter source and a scalar field nonminimally coupled to matter. Since, under mild assumptions on the…

The accepted idea that the expansion of the universe is accelerating needs, for compatibility to general relativity, the introduction of some unusual forms of matter. However, several authors have proposed that instead of making weird…

We discuss the cosmological evolution of a braneworld in five dimensional Gauss-Bonnet gravity. Our discussion allows the fifth (bulk) dimension to be space-like as well as time-like. The resulting equations of motion have the form of a…
