How a conformally flat (GR)4 impacts gauss-bonnet gravity?

First and foremost, we show that a 4-dimensional conformally flat generalized Ricci recurrent spacetime (GR)4 is an Einstein manifold. We examine such a spacetime as a solution of f(R,G)-gravity theory and it is shown that the additional terms from the modification of the gravitational sector can be...

Description
Summary:First and foremost, we show that a 4-dimensional conformally flat generalized Ricci recurrent spacetime (GR)4 is an Einstein manifold. We examine such a spacetime as a solution of f(R,G)-gravity theory and it is shown that the additional terms from the modification of the gravitational sector can be expressed as a perfect fluid. Several energy conditions are investigated with f(R,G)=R+G and f(R,G)=R2+GlnG. For both the models, weak, null and dominant energy conditions are satisfied while strong energy condition is violated, which is a good agreement with the recent observational studies which reveals that the current universe is in accelerating phase.
