We study a general field theory of a scalar field coupled to gravity through a quadratic Gauss-Bonnet term $\xi(\phi) R^2_{GB}$. The coupling function has the form $\xi(\phi)=\phi^n$, where $n$ is a positive integer. In the absence of the…

We show that several integrable (i.e., exactly solvable) scalar cosmologies considered by Fr\'e, Sagnotti and Sorin (Nuclear Physics \textbf{B 877}(3) (2013), 1028--1106) can be generalized to include cases where the spatial curvature is…
