An Exponential F(R) Dark Energy Model

Abstract

We present an exponential $F(R)$ modified gravity model in the Jordan and the Einstein frame. We use a general approach in order to investigate and demonstrate the viability of the model. Apart from the general features that this models has, which actually render it viable at a first step, we address the issues of finite time singularities, Newton's law corrections and the scalaron mass. As we will evince, the model passes these latter two tests successfully and also has no finite time singularities, a feature inherent to other well studied exponential models.
