On the existence of singularity-free solutions in quartic gravity
Abstract
We study a general field theory of a scalar field coupled to gravitation through a quadratic Gauss-Bonnet term (φ)RGB2. We show that, under mild assumptions about the function (φ), the classical solutions in a spatially flat FRW background include singularity - free solutions.
