In the general relativity theory the basic ingredient to describe gravity is the geometry, which interacts with all forms of matter and energy, and as such, the metric could be interpreted as a true physical quantity. However the metric is…
In certain modified theories of gravity, non-minimal couplings between matter and geometry lead to the nonconservation of the energy-momentum tensor. By interpreting this as an effective dissipative process, we formulate a general class of…
