Big bounce cosmology for Palatini $$R^2$$ R2 gravity with a Nieh–Yan term

Abstract We analyze the cosmological implementation of Palatini f(R) theories, constructed with a Nieh–Yan term and solved with respect to the torsion. We consider the relevant case of the quadratic correction to the Hilbert–Palatini action in the Ricci scalar, mimicking the Starobinsky model of the...
