Inflationary phenomenology of Einstein Gauss-Bonnet gravity compatible with GW170817

In this work we shall study Einstein Gauss-Bonnet theories and we investigate when these can have their gravitational wave speed equal to the speed of light, which is unity in natural units, thus becoming compatible with the striking event GW170817. We demonstrate how this is possible and we show th...
