The modified $F(R)$ gravity theory with the function $F(R)=-(1/\beta)\ln(1-\beta R)$ is studied. The action at small coupling $\beta$ becomes Einstein--Hilbert action. The bound on the parameter $\beta$ from local tests is $\beta\leq…

We test the imprint of f(R) modified gravity on the halo mass function, using N-body simulations and a theoretical model developed in (Kopp et al. 2013). We find a very good agreement between theory and simulations. We extend the…
In this work we investigate several theoretical and phenomenological implications of a scalar -$F(R)$ gravity containing a non-minimal coupling to the scalar curvature. This kind of model is a generalization of axion-$F(R)$ gravity models,…
Generally, the dynamics of test particles around galaxies, as well as the corresponding mass deficit, is explained by postulating the existence of a hypothetical dark matter. In fact, the behavior of the rotation curves shows the existence…
