These different epochs provide the universe is passing through accelerated phases soon after the Big-Bang and at present stage of its evolution. In this review paper, we discuss that both eras can be, in principle, described by a geometric picture, under the standard of $f(R)$ gravity. We give the fundamental physics motivations and outline the main ingredients of $f(R)$ inflation, quintessence and cosmography. This wants to be a quick summary of $f(R)$ paradigm without claiming of completeness.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-10-27T09:42:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "04.50.Kd", "98.80.Qc", "95.36.+x", "98.80.-k" ], "keywords": [ "late universe", "connecting", "fundamental physics motivations", "review paper", "quick summary" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1142/S0218271815410023", "journal": "International Journal of Modern Physics D", "year": 2015, "month": "Dec", "volume": 24, "number": 4, "pages": 1541002 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 26, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1327203, "adsabs": "2015IJMPD..2441002C" } } }
