Testing General Free Functions in Preferred Scale Theories

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2016-04-05 v1

Abstract

Building on previous work, we explore the parameter space of general free functions in non-relativistic modified gravity theories motivated by k-essence and other scalar-tensor theories. Using a few proposed tests, we aim to update Solar System based constraints on these ideas in line with previous theories and suggest their utility in constraining modification to GR, potentially even being able to test k-essence type theories.
