Recently a new four-dimensional non relativistic renormalizable theory of gravity was proposed by Horava. This gravity reduces to Einstein gravity at large distances. In this paper by using the new action for gravity we present different…

We look for a Brans-Dicke type of generalization of the Horava-Lifshitz gravity. It is shown that such a generalization is possible within the detailed balance condition. Classically, the resulting theory reduces in the IR limit to the…

We attempt a critical reconsideration of "detailed balance" as a principle that can be used to restrict the proliferation of couplings in Horava-Lifshitz gravity. We re-examine the shortcomings that have been usually associated with it in…

We investigate the static solutions with rotational symmetry in the nonprojectable Ho\v rava theory in \(2+1\) dimensions. We consider all inequivalent terms of the effective theory, including the cosmological constant. We find two distinct…

Recently, a renormalizable gravity theory with higher spatial derivatives in four dimensions was proposed by Horava. The theory reduces to Einstein gravity with a non-vanishing cosmological constant in IR, but it has improved UV behaviors.…

We show that the solution corresponding to the gravitational field of a point particle at rest in 2+1 nonprojectable Horava is exactly the same as its analogous in 2+1 General Relativity. This solution is well known, it is a flat cone whose…

The dynamical consistency of the non-projectable version of Horava gravity is investigated by focusing on the asymptotically flat case. It is argued that for generic solutions of the constraint equations the lapse must vanish…

We present a fully nonlinear study of long wavelength cosmological perturbations within the framework of the projectable Horava-Lifshitz gravity, coupled to a single scalar field. Adopting the gradient expansion technique, we explicitly…

By studying perturbations about the vacuum, we show that Horava gravity suffers from two different strong coupling problems, extending all the way into the deep infra-red. The first of these is associated with the principle of detailed…

Horava-Lifshitz theory of gravity with detailed balance is plagued by the presence of a negative bare (or geometrical) cosmological constant which makes its cosmology clash with observations. We argue that adding the effects of the large…

In this note we examine whether spherically symmetric solutions in Covariant Horava Lifshitz Gravity can reproduce Newton's Law in the IR limit \lambda->1. We adopt the position that the auxiliary field A is independent of the space-time…

Non-projectable Ho\v{r}ava gravity for a spherically symmetric configuration with $\lambda=1$ exhibits an infinite set of solutions parametrized by a generic function $g^{2}(r)$ for the radial component of the shift vector. In the IR limit…
