We consider the cosmological dynamics of fourth-order gravity with both f(R) and Phi(G) corrections to the Einstein gravity (G is the Gauss-Bonnet invariant). The particular case for which both terms are equally important on power-law solutions is described. These solutions and their stability are studied using the dynamic system approach. We also discuss the condition of existence and stability of a de Sitter solution in a more general situation of power-law f and Phi.

Cosmological solutions in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity with static curved extra dimensions

Dmitry Chirkov, Alex Giacomini, Sergey A. Pavluchenko, Alexey Toporensky

Summary: The paper systematically investigates solutions with static compact extra dimensions and expanding three-dimensional subspace, providing a scheme for constructing solutions with stability analysis. It finds that solutions with negative spatial curvature of extra dimensions are always stable, while those with positive curvature are stable for a narrow range of parameters. Differences between positive and negative curvature cases, including the coexistence with maximally-symmetric solutions, are noted and discussed.

On conserved quantities for the Schwarzschild black hole in teleparallel gravity

E. D. Emtsova, M. Krssak, A. N. Petrov, A. V. Toporensky

Summary: This study examines various methods of constructing conserved quantities in the Teleparallel Equivalent of General Relativity (TEGR), with a focus on Noether charges in the covariant formulation. The physical implications of choosing the observer's four-velocity or a Killing vector as 4 in different frames, based on the example of the Schwarzschild solution, are discussed. Additionally, an analysis of determining inertial spin connections for different tetrads used in calculations is presented, revealing some ambiguity in the method of switching-off gravity.

Static cosmological solutions in quadratic gravity

Daniel Muller, Alexey Toporensky

Summary: In quadratic gravity, a static cosmological solution can exist and be stable for a universe filled with only one type of perfect fluid, with different conditions and stability depending on the curvature of the universe.

Regular Frames for Spherically Symmetric Black Holes Revisited

Alexey V. Toporensky, Oleg B. Zaslavskii

Summary: This study considers the spacetime of a spherically symmetric black hole with a simple horizon. Due to the failure of a standard coordinate frame near the horizon, continuation and construction of regular frames are required. It is shown that Kruskal-Szekeres and Lemaitre frames stem from the same root, providing a more general scheme.

Global portraits of nonminimal inflation

Laur Jarv, Alexey Toporensky

Summary: This study reconsiders the dynamical systems approach to analyze inflationary universe in the Jordan frame models of scalar field nonminimally coupled to curvature. It finds that the adopted set of variables allows clear distinction between different asymptotic states including the kinetic and inflationary regimes. The study also provides a comprehensive picture of possible initial conditions leading to sufficient inflationary expansion and shows how they approximate the leading inflationary attractor solution. Additionally, it examines the impact of nonminimal coupling on the range of good initial conditions using quadratic and quartic potential models as examples.

On particle dynamics near the singularity inside the Schwarzschild black hole and T-spheres

A. Radosz, A. V. Toporensky, O. B. Zaslavskii

Summary: The problem of speed inside the Schwarzschild black hole is investigated, and it is found that the relative speed of objects approaching the singularity tends to the speed of light. An exception is observed when both objects move in the same plane with parallel angular momenta. This result reflects the anisotropic nature of the black hole's dynamics and implies collisions near the singularity result in infinite energy.

Conserved quantities in STEGR and applications

E. D. Emtsova, A. N. Petrov, A. V. Toporensky

Summary: We derive conservation laws in Symmetric Teleparallel Equivalent of General Relativity (STEGR) by directly applying Noether's theorem. This approach allows us to construct covariant conserved currents, corresponding superpotentials, and invariant charges. We introduce the concept of turning off gravity to define the flat and torsionless connection in STEGR, which is a necessary component in our constructions. We calculate the energy density and total mass in simple solutions to test our results and discuss possible solutions for the ambiguities in obtaining the connection that affect the values of conserved quantities.

General radially moving references frames in the black hole background

A. V. Toporensky, O. B. Zaslavskii

Summary: We study general radially moving frames in the background of nonextremal black holes similar to the Schwarzschild metric. We generalize the Lemaitre approach and construct free-falling frames composed of reference particles with arbitrary specific energy, including negative energy. We provide the general formula for the 3-velocity of a freely falling particle with respect to a frame with a specific energy. We investigate the relation between the properties of these frames near a horizon and the Banados-Silk-West effect of indefinite growth of energy of particle collisions. Using our radially moving frames, we also consider the nonradial motion of test particles, including regions near the horizon and singularity. We discuss the properties of the Lemaitre time at horizons depending on the frame and sign of particle energy.

Flow and Peculiar Velocities for Generic Motion in Spherically Symmetric Black Holes

A. V. Toporensky, O. B. Zaslavskii

Summary: This methodological paper extends previous results obtained for pure radial motion to consider the geodesic motion of particles in spherically symmetric black hole space-times, including nonradial motion and the possibility of an observer having nonzero angular momentum. The approach provides a simple physical interpretation of redshifts (blueshifts) inside the horizon, including the region near the singularity, and is consistent with recent results obtained by direct calculations.
