In Horava-Lifshitz gravity, the extra dynamical scalar mode could play significant role in cosmology. However it has been pointed out that such a scalar may suffer from the strong coupling problem in IR. We address this issue in this paper.…
This is intended to be a brief introduction and overview of Horava-Lifshitz gravity. The motivation and all of the various version of the theory (to date) are presented. The dynamics of the theory are discussed in some detail, with a focus…
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…
Horava gravity is a proposal for completing general relativity in the ultraviolet by interactions that violate Lorentz invariance at very high energies. We focus on (2+1)-dimensional projectable Horava gravity, a theory which is…
In Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity a scaling isotropic in space but anisotropic in spacetime, often called anisotropic scaling with the dynamical critical exponent z=3, lies at the base of its renormalizability. This scaling also leads to a…
In the minimal formulation of gravity with Lifshitz-type anisotropic scaling, the gauge symmetries of the system are foliation-preserving diffeomorphisms of spacetime. Consequently, compared to general relativity, the spectrum contains an…
In the attempts toward a quantum gravity theory, general relativity faces a serious difficulty since it is non-renormalizable theory. Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity offers a framework to circumvent this difficulty, by sacrificing the local…

In this paper we propose an alternative cosmography by considering Horava-Lifshitz gravity as a model of quantum gravity to search for quantum effects at the cosmological level. For our analyses we consider current late universe surveys and…
Horava gravity theory possesses global Lifshitz space as a solution and has been conjectured to provide a natural framework for Lifshitz holography. We derive the conditions on the two derivative Horava gravity Lagrangian that are necessary…
We consider a way of eliminating the unwanted scalar graviton from Horava-Lifshitz gravity. That is achieved via introduction of certain additional constraints. We perform canonical analysis of both projectable and non-projectable versions…
A new set of projection operators is constructed to suitably handle non-relativistic theories of gravity with anisotropic scaling, including the ones with parity-violating terms. This alternative procedure allows us to discuss unitarity and…

The Horava - Lifshitz (HL) theory has recently attracted a lot of interest as a viable solution to some quantum gravity related problems and the presence of an effective cosmological constant able to drive the cosmic speed up. We show here…
We formulate Horava-Lifshitz cosmology with an additional scalar field that leads to an effective dark energy sector. We find that, due to the inherited features from the gravitational background, Horava-Lifshitz dark energy naturally…

Recently, Horava and Melby-Thompson proposed in arXiv:1007.2410 a nonrelativistic gravity theory with extended gauge symmetry that is free of the spin-0 graviton. We propose a minimal substitution recipe to implement this extended gauge…
Recently Horava proposed a model for gravity which is described by the Einstein action in the infrared, but lacks the Lorentz invariance in the high-energy region where it experiences the anisotropic scaling. We test this proposal using two…
We consider a model for gravity that is invariant under global scale transformations. It includes one extra real scalar field coupled non-minimally to the gravity fields. In this model all the dimensionful parameters like the gravitational…
