In the context of Lorentz-invariant massive gravity we show that classical solutions around heavy sources are plagued by ghost instabilities. The ghost shows up in the effective field theory at huge distances from the source, much bigger…
We review various modified gravities considered as gravitational alternative for dark energy. Specifically, we consider the versions of $f(R)$, $f(G)$ or $f(R,G)$ gravity, model with non-linear gravitational coupling or string-inspired…
We attempt a critical reconsideration of "detailed balance" as a principle that can be used to restrict the proliferation of couplings in Horava-Lifshitz gravity. We re-examine the shortcomings that have been usually associated with it in…
An effective action of ghost condensate with higher derivatives creates a source of gravity and mimics a dark matter in spiral galaxies. We present a spherically symmetric static solution of Einstein--Hilbert equations with the ghost…
Modified gravity which was constructed by torsion scalar $T$, namely $f(T)$ doesn't respect Lorentz symmetry. As an attempt to make a new torsion based modified gravity with Lorentz invarianve, recently $f(T,\mathcal{B})$ introduced where…

The field equations in modified gravity theories possess an important decoupling property with respect to certain classes of nonholonomic frames. This allows us to construct generic off--diagonal solutions depending on all spacetime…
We explore a connection between generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) and modified Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz (HL) gravity. The GUP density function may be replaced by the cutoff function for the renormalization group of modified…
Four-dimensional Einstein gravity in the Palatini first order formalism is shown to possess a vector supersymmetry of the same type as found in the topological theories for Yang-Mills fields. A peculiar feature of the gravitational theory,…
We propose an action for a free particle in Horava-Lifshitz gravity based on Foliation Preserving Diffeomorphisms. The action reduces to the usual relativistic action in the low energy limit and allows for subluminal and superluminal…
