Scattering amplitudes in affine gravity [PDF]
Affine gravity is a connection-based formulation of gravity that does not involve a metric. After a review of basic properties of affine gravity, we compute the tree-level scattering amplitude of scalar particles interacting gravitationally via the connection in a curved spacetime.

Unimodular gravity vs general relativity: a status report [PDF]
Unimodular gravity (UG) is an alternative to general relativity (GR) which, however, is so closely related to the latter that one can wonder to what extent they are different.

It has recently been argued that half degrees of freedom could emerge in Lorentz and parity invariant field theories, using a non-linear Proca field theory dubbed Proca-Nuevo as a specific example.

On the viability of f(Q) gravity models [PDF]
In general relativity, the contracted Bianchi identity makes the field equation compatible with the energy conservation, likewise in f(R) theories of gravity.

Superluminality in DHOST theory with extra scalar
We consider DHOST Ia theory interacting gravitationally with an additional conventional scalar field minimally coupled to gravity. At the linearized level of perturbations about cosmological background, we find that in the presence of a slowly rolling ...

Gravity entanglement, quantum reference systems, degrees of freedom [PDF]
Gravity mediated entanglement (GME) has been proposed as the first experimentally testable signature of quantum gravity. However, to what extent the effect is due to quantum gravity is under debate.

Massive spin-2 scattering and asymptotic superluminality
We place model-independent constraints on theories of massive spin-2 particles by considering the positivity of the phase shift in eikonal scattering. The phase shift is an asymptotic S-matrix observable, related to the time delay/advance experienced by ...

Late time acceleration in Palatini gravity
We investigate the effect of the quadratic correction αR 2 and non-minimal coupling ξϕ 2 R on a quintessence model with an exponential potential V(ϕ) = M 4exp(−λϕ) in the Palatini formulation of gravity.

Mimetic massive gravity: beyond linear approximation
We present a theory of ghost-free massive gravity where the mass of the graviton is generated through the Brout-Englert-Higgs (BEH) mechanism and one of the four scalar fields used is that of mimetic gravity.

Recursion in the classical limit and the neutron-star Compton amplitude
We study the compatibility of recursive techniques with the classical limit of scattering amplitudes through the construction of the classical Compton amplitude for general spinning compact objects.
