We consider the effect of a scalar field degree of freedom on the dynamics of gravity from small to large scales. We show that the effects of modified gravity can be completely captured by the time variations of the scalar field mass and…
A multidimensional gravitational model on the manifold $M = M_0 \times \prod_{i=1}^{n} M_i$, where M_i are Einstein spaces ($i \geq 1$), is studied. For $N_0 = dim M_0 > 2$ the $\sigma$ model representation is considered and it is shown…
