Description
General review of various modified gravity is done. special attention is paid to F(R) and F(G) modified gravity. The realistic exponential model which unifies inflation with dark energy is discussed and compared with LCDM theory. It is shown how modified Gauss-Bonnet gravity may give realistic inflation while it is still compatible with recent GW event data. Stellar astrophysics in the presence of the extended gravity is briefly discussed. It is also demonstrated how F(R) gravity or any other theory maybe reconstructed from slow-roll inflationary indices.
