By using the conformal equivalence of f(R) gravity in vacuum and the usual Einstein theory with scalar-field matter, we derive the Hamiltonian of the linear cosmological scalar and tensor perturbations in f(R) gravity in the form of time-dependent harmonic oscillator Hamiltonians. We find the invariant operators of the resulting Hamiltonians and use their eigenstates to calculate the adiabatic Berry phase for sub-horizon modes as a Lewis–Riesenfeld phase.

Six exact solutions are obtained in the general scalar-tensor theory of gravity related to spatially homogeneous wave-like models of the Universe. Wave-like spacetime models allow the existence of privileged coordinate systems where the eikonal equation and the Hamilton–Jacobi equation of test particles can be integrated by the method of complete separation of variables with the separation of isotropic (wave) variables on which the space metric depends (non-ignored variables). An explicit form of the scalar field and two functions of the scalar field that are part of the general scalar-tensor theory of gravity are found. The explicit form of the eikonal function and the action function for test particles in the considered models is given. The obtained solutions are of type III according to the Bianchi classification and type N according to the Petrov classification. Wave-like spatially homogeneous spacetime models can describe primordial gravitational waves of the Universe.

A generalized scalar–tensor (GST) theory is investigated whose cosmological (or quintessence) term depends on both a scalar field and its time derivative. A correspondence with solutions of five-dimensional Space–Time–Matter (STM) theory is noted. Analytic solutions are found for the scale factor, scalar field and cosmological term. Models with free parameters of order unity are consistent with recent observational data and could be relevant to both the dark matter and cosmological "constant" problems.

A thermal squeezed state representation is constructed for each mode of a quantized scalar field in a spatially homogeneous and flat Robertson–Walker metric and the validity of semiclassical Einstein equation by analyzing the density fluctuation is examined. The density fluctuation in thermal squeezed state is very large and therefore the semiclassical theory may not be valid for squeezing parameter more than unity, however the theory holds when the associated squeezing parameter is much less than the unity. Further noted that the semiclassical theory is consistent in thermal coherent state formalism. The present study can account for the density fluctuations due to the thermal and quantum effects in semiclassical theory of gravity.
