We extend various recent results regarding the derivation of effective cosmological Friedmann equations from the dynamics of group field theory (GFT). Restricting ourselves to a single GFT field mode (or fixed values of Peter-Weyl…

In the present paper an attempt has been made to study the spatially homogeneous and isotropic FRW model and axially symmetric spacetime in f(R) theory of gravity. We have obtained the solutions of the field equations in vacuum. To find the…
Cosmological backreaction has been suggested as an explanation of dark energy and is heavily disputed since. We combine cosmological perturbation theory with Buchert's non-perturbative framework, calculate the relevant averaged observables…

We present the generalization of a recently introduced modified gravitational potential for self-gravitating fluids. The use of this potential allows for an accurate approximation of general relativistic effects in an otherwise Newtonian…
This is a first study of the cosmology of classical fractional gravity, a nonlocal proposal endowed with self-adjoint fractional d'Alembertian operators which serves as the basis for an ultraviolet-complete theory of quantum gravity. We…
A spatial variant of the Functional Renormalization Group (FRG) is introduced on (Lorentzian signature) globally hyperbolic spacetimes. Through its perturbative expansion it is argued that such a FRG must inevitably be state dependent and…

A systematic asymptotic expansion is developed for the gravitational wave degrees of freedom of a class of expanding, vacuum Gowdy cosmological spacetimes. In the wave map description of these models, the evolution of the gravitational wave…
In this paper we investigate the motion of small compact objects in non-vacuum spacetimes using methods from effective field theory in curved spacetime. Although a vacuum formulation is sufficient in many astrophysical contexts, there are…
Purpose: This essay is a retelling of general relativity in a language in which space-time geometry is expressed as a fluid. This trivial and useful reformulation gives 1) a non-perturbative covariant description of cosmological…

To explain the cosmic speed up, brought to light by the recent SNIa and CMB observations, we propose the following: a) In a spacetime endowed with a FRW metric, we choose an empirical scale factor that best explains the observations. b) We…
We study the evolution of cosmological perturbations in f(G) gravity, where the Lagrangian is the sum of a Ricci scalar R and an arbitrary function f in terms of a Gauss-Bonnet term G. We derive the equations for perturbations assuming…
We consider an effective viscous pressure as the result of a backreaction of inhomogeneities within Buchert's formalism. The use of an effective metric with a time-dependent curvature radius allows us to calculate the luminosity distance of…
In this paper, we investigate spherically symmetric perfect fluid gravitational collapse in metric $f(R)$ gravity. We take non-static spherically symmetric metric in the interior region and static spherically symmetric metric in the…
The standard formulation of the cosmological constant problem is based on one critical assumption---the spacetime is homogeneous and isotropic, which is true only on cosmological scales. However, this problem is caused by extremely small…
In this paper, we have studied the gravitational baryogenesis of isotropic and homogeneous universe in the frame-work of general relativity. We investigate an exact and new solution of Einstein's field equations for FRW metric. Our solution…
