Superheavy dark matter in $$R+R^2$$ R + R 2 cosmology with conformal anomaly

Abstract Cosmological evolution and particle creation in $$R^2$$ R 2 -modified gravity are considered for the case of the dominant decay of the scalaron into a pair of gauge bosons due to conformal anomaly. It is shown that in the process of thermalization superheavy dark matter with the coupling st...
