Comments on scalar-tensor representation of nonlocally corrected gravity

Spherical systems in models of nonlocally corrected gravity

The properties of static, spherically symmetric configurations are considered in the framework of two models of nonlocally corrected gravity, suggested in S. Deser and R. Woodard., Phys. Rev. Lett. 663, 111301 (2007), and S. Capozziello et al., Phys. Lett. B 671, 193 (2009). For the first case, where the Lagrangian of nonlocal origin represents a scalar-tensor theory with two massless scalars, an explicit condition is found under which both scalars are canonical (non-phantom). If this condition does not hold, one of the fields exhibits a phantom behavior. Scalar-vacuum configurations then beha…

Reconstruction Procedure for Nonlocal Gauss-Bonnet Models

We investigate the cosmological dynamics of nonlocally corrected gravity involving a function of the inverse d'Alembertian acting on the Gauss-Bonnet term. Casting the dynamical equations in local form, we derive the reconstruction procedure. We find conditions on the model parameters that are sufficient for the existence of de Sitter solutions and obtain these solutions explicitly.

A comment on black hole entropy or does Nature abhor a logarithm?

There has been substantial interest, as of late, in the quantum-corrected form of the Bekenstein-Hawking black hole entropy. The consensus viewpoint is that the leading-order correction should be a logarithm of the horizon area; however, the value of the logarithmic prefactor remains a point of notable controversy. Very recently, Hod has employed statistical arguments that constrain this prefactor to be a non-negative integer. In the current paper, we invoke some independent considerations to argue that the "best guess" for the prefactor might simply be zero. Significantly, this value complies…

Kinetic Coupling Corrected Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet Gravity Late-Time Phenomenology

In this short note we present the dynamics of a general scalar-tensor model, and in particular a scalar Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet model with a non-minimal coupling between gravity and the kinetic term of the scalar field. For the sake of simplicity two $f(R)$ models are studied separately, an exponential and a power-law, accompanied by either an exponential or quartic scalar potential and a strictly exponential Gauss-Bonnet scalar coupling function known for being a suitable candidate for describing both the early and the late time. By introducing the general framework of a late-time study for an …
