Cosmic acceleration in Lovelock quantum gravity

Abstract

This paper introduces novel solutions for inflation and late-time cosmic acceleration within the framework of quantum Lovelock gravity, utilizing Friedmann equations. Furthermore, we demonstrate the hypergeometric states of cosmic acceleration through the Schrödinger stationary equation. A physical interpretation is proposed, whereby the rescaled Lovelock couplings represent a topological mass that characterizes the Lovelock branch. This research holds the potential for an extension into the quantum description. Predictions for the spectral tilt and tensor-to-scalar ratio are depicted through plotted curves. By utilizing the rescaled Hubble parameter, the spectral index is determined in terms of the number of e-folds.
