We study massive graviton propagations of scalar, vector, and tensor modes in the deformed Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity by introducing Lorentz-violating mass term. It turns out that vector and tensor modes are massively propagating on the…
We study the propagation of a scalar, the trace of $h_{ij}$ in the deformed Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity with coupling constant $\lambda$. It turns out that this scalar is not a propagating mode in the Minkowski spacetime background. In this…
We investigate the linear cosmological perturbations of Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity in a FRW universe without any matter. Our results show that a new gauge invariant dynamical scalar mode emerges, due to the gauge transformation under the…
We show that the Horava theory for the completion of General Relativity at UV scales can be interpreted as a gauge fixed theory, and it can be extended to an invariant theory under the full group of four-dimensional diffeomorphisms. In this…
We investigate the linear cosmological perturbations in Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity with a scalar field. Starting from the most general expressions of the metric perturbations as well as that of a canonical scalar field, we decompose the…
We study the nature of constraints and count the number of degrees of freedom in the nonprojectable version of the $U(1)$ extension of Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity, using the standard method of Hamiltonian analysis in the classical field…
In this paper it is studied the propagator for the modified theory of gravity proposed by Ho\vrava. We first calculate the propagator in the $\lambda=1$ case and show that the main poles that arise correspond to the spin two particle and…

We investigate the propagation and evolution for a massless scalar field in the background of $\lambda=1/2$ Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz black hole with the condition of detailed balance. We fortunately obtain an exact solution for the Klein-Gordon…
We propose a general approach for the construction of modified gravity which is invariant under foliation-preserving diffeomorphisms. Special attention is paid to the formulation of modified $F(R)$ Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity (FRHL), whose…
We show that in the anisotropic Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity there is a well-defined wave zone where the physical degrees of freedom propagate according to a non-relativistic linear evolution equation of high order in spatial derivatives,…
We formally discuss the post-Minkowskian limit of $f(R)$-gravity without adopting conformal transformations but developing all the calculations in the original Jordan frame. It is shown that such an approach gives rise, in general, together…
We study a version of the recently proposed modified $F(R)$ Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity that abandons the projectability condition of the lapse variable. We discovered that the projectable version of this theory has a consistent Hamiltonian…
