A modified theory of general relativity is proposed, where the gravitational constant is replaced by a dynamical variable in space-time. The dynamics of the gravitational coupling is described by a family of parametrized null geodesics,…

In this paper, we investigate a nonlocal modification of general relativity (GR) with action $S = \frac{1}{16\pi G} \int [ R- 2\Lambda + (R-4\Lambda) \, \mathcal{F}(\Box) \, (R-4\Lambda) ] \, \sqrt{-g}\; d^4x ,$ where $\mathcal{F} (\Box) =…

The intrinsic metric symmetries for energy-momentum in warped space-time universally reinforce strict spatial flatness in the GR metric formalism. The passive/active energy-charge for the 1686, 1913, and 1915 gravitational laws maintains…

Non-local gravity cosmologies are considered under the standard of Noether Symmetry Approach. In particular, we focus on non-local theories whose gravitational actions depend on curvature and Gauss-Bonnet scalar invariants. Specific…

We consider FRW cosmology in non-local modified gravity. Its local scalar-tensor formulation is developed. It is explicitly demonstrated that such theory may lead to the unification of early-time inflation with late-time cosmic…
