Reconstruction of f(R) models with Scale-invariant Power Spectrum    [PDF]

Taotao Qiu
Following our previous work in [JCAP {\bf 1206}, 041 (2012)], in this paper, we continue our study of reconstructing $f(R)$ modified gravity models that can be connected to a single scalar field in general relativity via conformal transformation, which lead to scale-invariant power spectrum in the early universe. With $f(R)$ modified gravity, one does not need to introduce extra scalar, the nature of which are to be explained. Different from general nonminimal coupling theory, the behavior of the $f(R)$ theory has been fixed by its counterpart in Einstein frame, and thus have one to one correspondence. Numerical plots of the functional form of $f(R)$ as well as the evolution of $R$ in terms of cosmic time $t$ are also presented.
