We have investigated structure formation in the $\gamma$ gravity $f(R)$ model with {\it N}-body simulations. The $\gamma$ gravity model is a proposal which, unlike other viable $f(R)$ models, not only changes the gravitational dynamics, but…

We study the cosmological consequences of a recently proposed nonlocal modification of general relativity, obtained by adding a term $m^2R\,\Box^{-2}R$ to the Einstein-Hilbert action. The model has the same number of parameters as…
