Finite-time cosmological singularities and the possible fate of the Universe

J de Haro, S Nojiri, SD Odintsov, VK Oikonomou, S Pan - Physics Reports, 2023 - Elsevier
Singularities in any physical theory are either remarkable indicators of the unknown
underlying fundamental theory, or indicate a change in the description of the physical reality …

Inflationary cosmology in modified gravity theories

K Bamba, SD Odintsov - Symmetry, 2015 - mdpi.com

From a hydrodynamicist's point of view the inclusion of viscosity concepts in the macroscopic
theory of the cosmic fluid would appear most natural, as an ideal fluid is after all an …

Singular bouncing cosmology from Gauss-Bonnet modified gravity

VK Oikonomou - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
We study how a cosmological bounce, with a type IV singularity at the bouncing point, can
be generated by a classical vacuum F (G) gravity. We focus our investigation on the …

Bouncing cosmology with future singularity from modified gravity

SD Odintsov, VK Oikonomou - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
We investigate which Jordan frame F (R) gravity can describe a type IV singular bouncing
cosmological evolution, with special emphasis given near the point at which the type IV …

Matter bounce scenario in extended symmetric teleparallel gravity
