Revisiting Noether gauge symmetry for F(R) theory of gravity

Abstract: Noether gauge symmetry for F(R) theory of gravity has been explored recently. The fallacy is that, even after setting gauge to vanish, the form of F(R) propto R^n (where n eq 1, is arbitrary) obtained in the process, has been claimed to be an outcome of gauge Noether symmetry. On the contrary, earlier works proved that any nonlinear form other than F(R) propto R^3/2 is obscure. Here, we show that, setting gauge term zero, Noether equations are satisfied only for n = 2, which again does not satisfy the field equations. Thus, as noticed earlier, the only admissible form that Noether symmetry is F(R) propto R^3/2 . Noether symmetry with non-zero gauge has also been studied explicitly here, to show that it does not produce anything new.
