It has been argued that the spacetime of our universe can be accurately described by a perturbed conformal Newtonian metric, and hence even large density inhomogeneities in a dust universe can not change the observables predicted by the…
In this paper, we use the notion of super tangent bundle for a space-time manifold, and use super metrics on it to model gravity and some types of matter that is the source of the gravity and can be interpreted as dark matter. In this view,…

Cosmic acceleration is widely believed to require either a source of negative pressure (i.e., dark energy), or a modification of gravity, which necessarily implies new degrees of freedom beyond those of Einstein gravity. In this paper we…
