On the classification of consistent boundary conditions for $$ f ( R )$$ f(R) -gravity

Abstract Using a completely covariant approach, we discuss the role of boundary conditions (BCs) and the corresponding Gibbons–Hawking–York (GHY) terms in $$ f ( R ) $$ f(R) -gravity in arbitrary dimensions. Following the Ostrogradsky approach, we can introduce a scalar field in the framework of Bra...
