We derive exact, modified geodesic equations for a system of non-spinning, self-gravitating interacting bodies in a class of alternative theories of gravity to general relativity. We use a prescription proposed by Eardley for incorporating…

We study the tetrad formulation of Chern-Simons (CS) modified gravity, which adds a Pontryagin term to the Einstein-Hilbert action with a spacetime-dependent coupling field. We first verify that CS modified gravity leads to a theory with…

In this work, we scrutinize the consistency of spacetime homogeneous G\"{o}del-type metrics within $f(R,Q,P)$ theories of gravity for well-motivated matter sources. As it is well known, such geometries allow for causality violation. We…

In this paper, we consider a gravitational action containing a combination of the Ricci scalar, $R$, and the topological Gauss--Bonnet term, $G$. Specifically, we study the cosmological features of a particular class of modified gravity…

Emergent modified gravity has shown that the canonical formulation of general relativity gives rise to a larger class of covariant modifications than action-based approaches, so far in symmetry-reduced models. This outcome is made possible…

We investigate the effects of Chern-Simons-Gauss-Bonnet gravity on fundamental metrics. This theory involves perturbative corrections to general relativity, as well as two scalar fields, the axion and the dilaton, that arise from…

A promising extension of general relativity is Chern-Simons (CS) modified gravity, in which the Einstein-Hilbert action is modified by adding a parity-violating CS term, which couples to gravity via a scalar field. In this work, we consider…

In this paper, we deal with the $f(R,Q)$ gravity whose action depends, besides of the scalar curvature $R$, on the higher-derivative invariant $Q=R_{\mu\nu}R^{\mu\nu}$. In order to compare this theory with the usual General Relativity (GR),…

Modified gravity is often approached in the context of effective-field theory (EFT), with the view that the EFT corrections permit a more desirable theory. In this paper, we posit that this should extend to the causal structure of curved…
