We present a new scheme of defining invariant observables for general relativistic systems. The scheme is based on the introduction of an observer which endowes the construction with a straightforward physical interpretation. The…
This study provides a concise analysis of inflation under Rastall gravity by examining three types of potential such as the power law, natural, and hilltop potentials. Choosing a minimal interaction between matter and gravity, we derived…

According to the standard von Laue condition, the volume-averaged pressure inside particles of fixed mass and structure vanishes in the Minkowski limit of general relativity. Here we show that this condition is in general not fulfilled in…
The relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system describes the evolution of a collisionless plasma. The problem of linear instability of this system is considered in two physical settings: the so-called "one and one-half" dimensional case, and the…
The Ricci tensor of a Robertson-Walker space-time is here specified by requiring constancy of the scalar curvature and a vanishing spatial curvature. By entering this Ricci tensor in Einstein's equations (without cosmological constant), the…
This Thesis concerns a thin fluid shell embedded in its own gravitational field. The starting point is a work of Hajicek and Kijowski, where the hamiltonian formalism for shell(s) (with no symmetry) in Einstein gravity is developed. An open…
We study FRW cosmology for scalar tensor theory where two scalar functions nonminimally coupled to the geometry and matter Lagrangian. In a framework to study stability and attractor solutions of the model in the phase space, we…

We investigate the validity of the generalized second law (GSL) of gravitational thermodynamics in the framework of f(T) modified teleparallel gravity. We consider a spatially flat FRW universe containing only the pressureless matter. The…

We analyse cosmological perturbations around a homogeneous and isotropic background for scalar-tensor, vector-tensor and bimetric theories of gravity. Building on previous results, we propose a unified view of the effective parameters of…
The aim of this paper is to introduce a new modified gravity theory named as $f(\mathcal{G},T)$ gravity ($\mathcal{G}$ and $T$ are the Gauss-Bonnet invariant and trace of the energy-momentum tensor, respectively) and investigate energy…
This paper reviews the essential physics of gravitational instability in a Robertson-Walker background spacetime. Three approaches are presented in a pedagogical manner, based on (1) the Eulerian fluid equations, (2) the Lagrangian…
We define `third derivative' General Relativity, by promoting the integration measure in Einstein-Hilbert action to be an arbitrary $4$-form field strength. We project out its local fluctuations by coupling it to another $4$-form field…
We develop an action principle to construct the field equations for a multi-fluid system containing charge-neutral fluids, plasmas, and dissipation (via resistive interactions), by combining the standard, Maxwell action and minimal coupling…
The basic objective of this investigation is to explore the impact of a novel gravitational modification, specifically, the $f(\mathcal{G}, \mathbf{T}^2)$ (where $\mathbf{T}^2 \equiv T_{\alpha\beta}T^{\alpha\beta}$, $T^{\alpha\beta}$…
