In this paper we present the results of our calculations of the Einsteinian strengths S_E(d) and numbers dynamical degrees of freedom N_{DF}(d) for alternative gravity theories in d >= 4 dimensions. In the first part we consider the numbers…
It has been proposed in \cite{Park:2014tia} that 4D Einstein gravity becomes effectively reduced to 3D after solving the Lagrangian analogues of the Hamiltonian and momentum constraints of the Hamiltonian quantization. The analysis in…
Large-distance modification of gravity may be the mechanism for solving the cosmological constant problem. A simple model of the large-distance modification -- four-dimensional (4D) gravity with the hard mass term-- is problematic from the…
The four-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (4DEGB) gravity is proposed as a singular limit of the higher-dimensional EGB gravity with a rescaled coupling constant. Follow-up work indicates that the 4DEGB gravity may be equivalent to a…
To ensure the existence of a well defined linearized gravitational wave equation, we show that the spacetimes in the so-called "Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity in four dimension" have to be locally conformally flat.
We discuss a new extended gravity model in ordinary $D=4$ spacetime dimensions, where an additional term in the action involving Gauss-Bonnet topological density is included without the need to couple it to matter fields unlike the case of…
In the present paper we investigate the structure of relativistic stars in 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity. The mass-radius relations are obtained for realistic hadronic and for strange quark star equations of state, and for a wide range…
We investigate the localization of four-dimensional metastable gravity in supersymmetric dilatonic domain walls through massive modes by considering several scenarios in the model. We compute corrections to the Newtonian potential for small…
Einstein-dilaton-Gauss-Bonnet gravity is investigated on existence of solutions with mild singularities, not shielded by the event horizons. These still may have sense since presumably such singularities will be smoothed by corrections to…
We performed a post-Newtonian analysis of the regularized four-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravitational theory (4D-EGB). The resulting metric differs from the classical parametrized post-Newtonian (PPN) formalism in that a new…
We analyze the weak gravity in the braneworld model proposed by Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati, in which the unperturbed background spacetime is given by five dimensional Minkowski bulk with a brane which has the induced Einstein Hilbert term.…
The modification to four--dimensional Einstein gravity at low energy in two brane models is investigated within supergravity in singular spaces. Using perturbation theory around a static BPS background, we study the effective…
Newton law arising due to the gravity localized on the general singular brane embedded in $AdS_5$ bulk is examined in the absence or presence of the 4d induced Einstein term. For the RS brane, apart from the subleading correction, Newton…
Einstein gravity at $D\rightarrow 2$ limit can be obtained from the Kaluza-Klein procedure by taking the dimensions of the internal space to zero while keeping only the breathing mode. The resulting scalar-tensor theory can be further…
In this paper we perform systematic investigation of all possible exponential solutions in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity with the spatial section being a product of two subspaces. We describe a scheme which always allow to find solution for…
We naturally extend the theory of gravity with a conformally coupled scalar field by only requiring conformal invariance of the scalar field equation of motion and not of the action. The classically extended theory incorporates a…
The cosmology of general fourth order corrections to Einstein gravity is considered, both for a homogeneous and isotropic background and for general tensor perturbations. It is explicitly shown how the standard cosmological history can be…
Modified gravity provides a possible explanation for the currently observed cosmic accelaration. In this paper, we study general classes of modified gravity models. The Einstein-Hilbert action is modified by using general functions of the…
We consider the four dimensional discontinuity generated by two identical pieces of a five dimensional space pasted along their edge (that is a "brane" in a "$Z_2$-symmetric" "bulk"). Using a four plus one decomposition of the Riemann…
We explore some cosmological features of the newly suggested 4D Gauss-Bonnet gravity through two different models assuming a varying cosmological constant. Observational constraints, such as the cosmic transit and the flat curvature, have…
