Scalar fields in f (G) gravity

In this study, we investigated scalar field in f(G)-gravity by using LRS Bianchi type-I universe. Massless and massive scalar field models are separately constructed in f(G)-gravity. Massless scalar field models are examined in the cases of constant and exponential potential fields. For all models, solutions of field equations are obtained under the consideration of A = B-n. f(G) functions for each model are separately attained in theory. It is shown that constructed models in the presence of massless scalar field permit quintessence scalar field. Also, it is observed that each model indicates expanding universe with deceleration. Also, kinematical quantities are analyzed in the light of obtained solutions. All models are concluded with a geometric and physical perspective.
