Swampland Implications of GW170817-compatible Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet Gravity (2004.00479v2)

Published 1 Apr 2020 in gr-qc and hep-th

Abstract: We revisit the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory in view of the GW170817 event, which compels that the gravitational wave speed is equal to $c_T2=1$ in natural units. We use an alternative approach compared to one previous work of ours, which enables us to express all the slow-roll indices and the observational indices as functions of the scalar field. Using our formalism we investigate if the Swampland criteria are satisfied for the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory and as we demonstrate, the Swampland criteria are satisfied for quite general forms of the potential and the Gauss-Bonnet coupling function $\xi (\phi)$, if the slow-roll conditions are assumed to hold true.
