We provide a generic formal solution for the connection and an Einstein-like representation for the metric field equations of this family of theories. For particular cases we consider applications to the early-time cosmology and find that nonsingular universes with a cosmic bounce are very generic and robust solutions.", optnote="WOS:000339999700005", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=1880), last updated on Tue, 02 Sep 2014 19:30:42 +0000", issn="1550-7998", doi="10.1103/PhysRevD.90.044003", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/arXiv:1406.1205", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.90.044003", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="arXiv:1406.1205", language="English" }
