Inflation in the framework of $f(R)$ modified gravity is revisited. We study the conditions that $f(R)$ should satisfy in order to lead to a viable inflationary model in the original form and in the Einstein frame. Based on these criteria…

In this work we investigate a inflationary scenario generated by a large scalar field $\phi$ that non-minimally couples to a $f(R)$ modified gravity model. For a Starobinsky's like model, it is found that along a particular flat direction,…
We examine an inflationary model in $R + R^2$ gravity with torsion, where $R^2$ denotes five independent quadratic curvature invariants; it turns out that only two free parameters remain in this model. We show that the behavior of the scale…

We investigate a class of inflationary models in modified gravity theories which contain a non-minimal coupling between gravity and a scalar field $\phi$ (inflaton) as $f(R,T)=R \bigl(1+\alpha+ \kappa^4 \beta T \bigr)+\kappa^2\gamma T $…
In this work, we study the inflationary cosmology in modified gravity theory $f(R, T) = R + 2 \lambda T$ ($\lambda$ is the modified gravity parameter) with three distinct class of inflation potentials (i) $\phi^p e^{-\alpha\phi}$, (ii)…
In this work we study a modified version of $f(R)$ gravity in which higher order kinetic terms of a scalar field are added in the action of vacuum $f(R)$ gravity. This type of theory is a type of $k$-essence $f(R)$ gravity, and it belongs…
