The warm dark matter (WDM) can be described by simple and useful model called reduced relativistic gas (RRG). In this work, it is analytically constructed the scalar field actions minimally and non-minimally coupled to gravity, which are…

General Relativity extended through a dynamical scalar quartet is proposed as a theory of the scalar-vector-tensor gravity, generically describing the unified gravitational dark matter (DM) and dark energy (DE). The implementation in the…

We propose an adaptation of the Kerr-Schild method by implementing the correspondence relations (mapping) between Ricci-based Gravity (RBG) and General Relativity (GR). Basically, we generate GR known solutions from a canonical metric with…

We derive the equation of matter density perturbations on sub-horizon scales for a general Lagrangian density f(R, phi, X) that is a function of a Ricci scalar R, a scalar field phi and a kinetic term X=-(nabla phi)^2/2. This is useful to…

We construct a consistency test of General Relativity (GR) on cosmological scales. This test enables us to distinguish between the two alternatives to explain the late-time accelerated expansion of the universe, that is, dark energy models…

We present a covariant scalar-field framework that unifies the space-time singularity regularization with dynamical dark energy. The theory extends general relativity by introducing a scalar field $\Phi$ whose potential couples to the…

We tested whether refracted gravity, a theory of modified gravity that describes the dynamics of galaxies without the aid of dark matter, can model the dynamics of the three massive elliptical galaxies, NGC 1407, NGC 4486, and NGC 5846, out…

We present a theory of modified gravity, inspired by the gauge theories, where the commutator algebra of covariant derivative gives us an added term with respect to the General Relativity, which represents the interaction of gravity with a…

The intrinsic metric symmetries for energy-momentum in warped space-time universally reinforce strict spatial flatness in the GR metric formalism. The passive/active energy-charge for the 1686, 1913, and 1915 gravitational laws maintains…

We study modified theories of gravity of the f(R) type in Palatini formalism. For a generic f(R) lagrangian, we show that the metric can be solved as the product of a scalar function times a rank-two tensor (or auxiliary metric). The scalar…

Modified General Relativity (MGR) is the natural extension of General Relativity (GR). MGR explicitly uses the smooth regular line element vector field $(\bm{X},-\bm{X}) $, which exists in all Lorentzian spacetimes, to construct a…
