Abstract

We derive the conditions under which dark energy models whose Lagrangian densities $f$ are written in terms of the Ricci scalar $R$ are cosmologically viable. We show that the cosmological behavior of $f(R)$ models can be understood by a geometrical approach consisting of studying the $m(r)$ curve on the $(r,m)$ plane, where $m\ensuremath{\equiv}R{f}_{,RR}/{f}_{,R}$ and $r\ensuremath{\equiv}\ensuremath{-}R{f}_{,R}/f$ with ${f}_{,R}\ensuremath{\equiv}\mathrm{d}f/\mathrm{d}R$. This allows us to classify the $f(R)$ models into four general classes, depending on the existence of a standard matter epoch and on the final accelerated stage. The existence of a viable matter-dominated epoch prior to a late-time acceleration requires that the variable $m$ satisfies the conditions $m(r)\ensuremath{\approx}+0$ and $\mathrm{d}m/\mathrm{d}r>\ensuremath{-}1$ at $r\ensuremath{\approx}\ensuremath{-}1$. For the existence of a viable late-time acceleration we require instead either (i) $m=\ensuremath{-}r\ensuremath{-}1$, $(\sqrt{3}\ensuremath{-}1)/2 0$ and $n<\ensuremath{-}1$ and are thus cosmologically unacceptable. Similar conclusions can be reached for many other examples discussed in the text. In most cases the standard matter era is replaced by a cosmic expansion with scale factor $a\ensuremath{\propto}{t}^{1/2}$. We also find that $f(R)$ models can have a strongly phantom attractor but in this case there is no acceptable matter era.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
