Cosmological constraints on f(G) dark energy models

Modified gravity theories with the Gauss-Bonnet term G=R2−4RμνRμν+RμνρσRμνρσ have recently gained a lot of attention as a possible explanation of dark energy. We perform a thorough phase space analysis on the so-called f(G) models, where f(G) is some general function of the Gauss-Bonnet term, and de...
