Matter Instability in Theories with Modified Induced Gravity [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in High Energy Physics, 2012
Matter stability is a necessary condition to have a cosmologically viable model. Modified gravity in the spirit of f(R) theories suffers from matter instability in some subdomains of the model parameter space.

Modified Theories of Gravity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The recent observational data in cosmology seem to indicate that the universe is currently expanding in an accelerated way. An intriguing interpretation of these data is that they may just be signalling that Einstein's General Relativity is not the correct description of gravity when we consider distances of the order of the present horizon of the ...

A class of minimally modified gravity theories [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2017
We investigate the Hamiltonian structure of a class of gravitational theories whose actions are linear in the lapse function. We derive the necessary and sufficient condition for a theory in this class to have two or less local physical degrees of freedom.

Gravitational waves in modified teleparallel theories of gravity [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2018
Teleparallel theory of gravity and its modifications have been studied extensively in literature. However, gravitational waves has not been studied enough in the framework of teleparallelism.

Modified teleparallel theories of gravity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Teleparallel gravity is an alternative formulation of gravity which has the same field equations as General Relativity (GR), therefore, it is also known as the Teleparallel equivalent of General Relativity (TEGR).

ENTROPY FORCE AND SELF-GRAVITY FACTOR OF MODIFIED GRAVITY THEORIES

open access: yesModern Physics Letters A, 2011
We investigate the entropy force of modified gravity theories on trapping horizons. It is shown that if the entropy force is separated as a uniform term from the variation of entropy, the associated self-gravity factor is not the simple two in Einstein gravity but is different for various gravity theories.

Reflections on the Covariance of Modified Teleparallel Theories of Gravity [PDF]

open access: yesUniverse, 2019
We review the current status of the Lorentz covariance in teleparallel and modified teleparallel theories of gravity, and discuss the controversial features of the different approaches. We also revisit the issue of the remnant Lorentz gauge symmetries in

The viability of modified gravity theories [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
PhDThis thesis studies the viability of classes of modified gravity (MG) theories based on generalisations of the Einstein-Hilbert action. Particular emphasis is given to f(R) theories in both the metric and Palatini formalisms, scalar-tensor theories ...
