We investigate FRW cosmological solutions in the theory of modulus field coupled to gravity through a Gauss-Bonnet term. The explicit analytical forms of nonsingular asymptotics are presented for power-law and exponentially steep modulus coupling functions. We study the influence of modulus field potential on these asymptotical regimes and find some forms of the potential which do not destroy the nonsingular behavior. In particular, we obtain that exponentially steep coupling functions arising from the string theory do not allow nonsingular past asymptotic unless modulus field potential tends to zero for modulus field $psi to pm infty$. Finally, the modification of the chaotic dynamics in the closed FRW universe due to presence of the Gauss-Bonnet term is discussed.

We investigate Bianchi I cosmological model in the theory of a dilatonM field coupled to gravity through a Gauss-Bonnet term. Two type ofM cosmological singularity are distinguished. The former is analogous toM the Einstein gravity singularity, the l atter (which does not appear inM classical General Relativity) occurs when the main determinant of theM system of field equations vanishes. An analogy between the latterM cosmological singularity and the singularity inside a black hole withM a dilatonic hair is discussed. Initial conditions, leading to theseM two types of cosmological singularity are found via numericalM integration of the equation of motion.
We present a new bouncing cosmological solution of the non-local theory known as infinite derivative gravity, which goes beyond the recursive ansatz, ${Box R = r_1 R +r_2}$. The non-local field equations are evaluated using the spectral decomposition with respect to the eigenfunctions of the wave operator. The energy-momentum tensor computed for this geometry turns out to be much more sensitive to the choice of the non-local form-factor, since it depends on the value of the function on a continuous infinite interval. We show that this stronger dependence on the form-factor allows us to source the geometry by the perfect fluid with the non-negative energy density satisfying the strong energy condition. We show that this bouncing behaviour is not possible in the local theories of gravity such as in general relativity or $R+R^2$ gravity sourced by a fluid which meets the non-negative energy and strong energy conditions.
Four-dimensional black hole solutions generated by the low energy string effective action are investigated outside and inside the event horizon. A restriction for a minimal black hole size is obtained in the frame of the model discussed. Intersection s, turning points and other singular points of the solution are investigated. It is shown that the position and the behavior of these particular points are definded by various kinds of zeros of the main system determinant. Some new aspects of the $r_s$ singularity are discussed.
The influence of higher order (stringly inspired) curvature corrections to the classical General Relativity spherically symmetric solution is studied. In string gravity these curvature corrections have a special form and can provide a singular contri bution to the field equations because they generate higher derivatives of metric functions multiplied by a small parameter. Analytically and numerically it is shown that sometimes in 4D string gravity the Schwarzschild solution is not recovered when the string coupling constant vanishes and limited number of higher order curvature corrections is considered.
It was found recently that the anisotropies in the homogeneous Bianchi I cosmology considered within the context of a specific Horndeski theory are damped near the initial singularity instead of being amplified. In this work we extend the analysis of this phenomenon to cover the whole of the Horndeski family. We find that the phenomenon is absent in the K-essence and/or Kinetic Gravity Braiding theories, where the anisotropies grow as one approaches the singularity. The anisotropies are damped at early times only in more general Horndeski models whose Lagrangian includes terms quadratic and cubic in second derivatives of the scalar field. Such theories are often considered as being inconsistent with the observations because they predict a non-constant speed of gravitational waves. However, the predicted value of the speed at present can be close to the speed of light with any required precision, hence the theories actually agree with the present time observations. We consider two different examples of such theories, both characterized by a late self-acceleration and an early inflation driven by the non-minimal coupling. Their anisotropies show a maximum at intermediate times and approach zero at early and late times. The early inflationary stage exhibits an instability with respect to inhomogeneous perturbations, suggesting that the initial state of the universe should be inhomogeneous. However, more general Horndeski models may probably be stable.
