Building on earlier work, we discuss a general framework for exploring the cosmological dynamics of Higher Order Theories of Gravity. We show that once the theory of gravity has been specified, the cosmological equations can be written as a first-order autonomous system and we give several examples which illustrate the utility of our method. We also discuss a number of results which have appeared recently in the literature.

  1. Spectrum of pure $R^2$ gravity: full Hamiltonian analysis

    gr-qc 2025-10 conditional novelty 7.0

    Pure R^2 gravity propagates three degrees of freedom nonlinearly but zero linearly around Minkowski and other traceless-Ricci R=0 spacetimes due to ten second-class constraints becoming first-class upon linearization.

  2. On phase-space singular surfaces in $f(R)$ gravity

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Hamiltonian analysis reveals degenerate constraints on singular surfaces in f(R) gravity, leading to empty spectra on certain backgrounds and regularity conditions for dynamical crossings in Starobinsky model.

  3. Modified Gravity and Cosmology

    astro-ph.CO 2011-06 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    A comprehensive review of modified gravity theories and their cosmological consequences, including a parameterized post-Friedmannian formalism for constraining deviations from General Relativity.
