Some Cosmological Solutions of a New Nonlocal Gravity Model

In this paper, we investigate a nonlocal modification of general relativity (GR) with action S = 1 16 π G ∫ [ R − 2 Λ + ( R − 4 Λ ) F ( □ ) ( R − 4 Λ ) ] − g d 4 x , where F ( □ ) = ∑ n = 1 + ∞ f n □ n is an analytic function of the d’Alembertian □. We found a few exact cosmological solutions of the corresponding equations of motion. There are two solutions which are valid only if Λ ≠ 0 , k = 0 , and they have no analogs in Einstein’s gravity with cosmological constant Λ . One of these two solutions is a ( t ) = A t e Λ 4 t 2 , that mimics properties similar to an interference between the radiation and the dark energy. Another solution is a nonsingular bounce one a ( t ) = A e Λ t 2 . For these two solutions, some cosmological aspects are discussed. We also found explicit form of the nonlocal operator F ( □ ) , which satisfies obtained necessary conditions.
