| Abstract: | We constrain the neutrino mass in f(R) gravity using the latest observations from the Planck, BAO and BICEP2 data. We find that the measurement on the B-modes can break the degeneracy between the massive neutrinos and the f(R) gravity. We find a non-zero value of the Compton wavelengths B0 at a 68% confidence level for the f(R) model in the presence of massive neutrinos when the BICEP2 data is used. Furthermore, the tension on the tensor-to-scalar ratios between the measured values from Plank and BICEP2 is significantly reconciled in our model. |
