SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the FRW domain wall cosmological model within the framework of f(G) theory of gravitation. A significant point raised is the potential violation of the Lovelock theorem by this model. Additionally, the conversation touches on the constraints related to massive gravitational modes in higher derivative models, particularly in the context of gravitational wave detection, specifically GW170817. The analysis of gravitational wave detections has predominantly been conducted using General Relativity (GR), leaving alternative gravity models like f(G) less explored.
