This work proposes a new gravitational theory formulated in terms of the vierbein field. The vierbein contains components which can be shifted by local Lorentz transformations and therefore do not show up in the spacetime metric. These…
Stress-tensor deformations suggest a geometric origin of emergent gravity but are typically non-local for $d>2$. We couple a seed QFT to Einstein gravity with deformation parameter $\lambda$ and evaluate the gravitational path integral at…
We explore the relationship between the quantum state of a compact matter source and of its asymptotic graviton field. For a matter source in an energy eigenstate, the graviton state is determined at leading order by the energy eigenvalue.…

The accelerated expansion of the universe poses a significant challenge to General Relativity. Non-local modifications to gravity have emerged as a compelling class of theories to address this dark energy puzzle. Building upon earlier…
We study a theory where the presence of an extra spin-two field coupled to gravity gives rise to a phase with spontaneously broken Lorentz symmetry. In this phase gravity is massive, and the Weak Equivalence Principle is respected. The…

Two different sources of emergent gravity lead to the inverse square of length dimension of metric field, $[g_{\mu\nu}]=1/[l]^2$, as distinct from the conventional dimensionless metric, $[g_{\mu\nu}]=1$, for $c = 1$. In both scenarios all…
We consider a theory of gravity with a hidden extra-dimension and metric-dependent torsion. A set of physically motivated constraints are imposed on the geometry so that the torsion stays confined to the extra-dimension and the…
We obtain the fully covariant linearized field equations for the metric perturbation in the de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) ghost free massive gravities. For a subset of these theories, we show that the non dynamical metric that appears in…
We study the modified Reissner Nordstrom metric in the unimodular gravity. So far the spherical symmetric Einstein field equation in unimodular gravity has been studied in the absence of any source. We consider static electric and magnetic…
We derive a generic identity which holds for the metric (i.e. variational) energy-momentum tensor under any field transformation in any generally covariant classical Lagrangian field theory. The identity determines the conditions under…
Effective gravitational field theories with background fields break local Lorentz symmetry and diffeomorphism invariance. Examples include Chern-Simons gravity, massive gravity, and the Standard-Model Extension (SME). The physical…
It is shown that polynomial gravity theories with more than four derivatives in each scalar and tensor sectors have a regular weak-field limit, without curvature singularities. This is achieved by proving that in these models the effect of…
