The cosmological phenomenology of gravity is typically studied in two limits: relativistic perturbation theory (on large scales) and Newtonian gravity (required for smaller, non-linear, scales). Traditional approaches to model-independent…
We study gravity coupled to scalar and fermion fields in the Einstein-Cartan framework. We discuss the most general form of the action that contains terms of mass dimension not bigger than four, leaving out only contributions quadratic in…
A gauge and diffeomorphism invariant theory in (2+1)-dimensions is presented in both first and second order Lagrangian form as well as in a Hamiltonian form. For gauge group $SO(1,2)$, the theory is shown to describe ordinary Einstein…
In the framework of the gauge theory based on the Poincar\'e symmetry group, the gravitational field is described in terms of the coframe and the local Lorentz connection. Considered as gauge field potentials, they give rise to the…
We investigate the cosmological implications of the $GL(4,\mathbb{R})$ Yang-Mills gauge theory of gravity. A long-standing theoretical challenge in standard cosmology is the reliance on ad hoc rolling scalar fields (e.g., the inflaton or…
We consider noncommutative gravity on a space with canonical noncommutativity that is based on the commutative MacDowell-Mansouri action. Gravity is treated as gauge theory of the noncommutative $SO(1,3)_\star$ group and the Seiberg-Witten…
We consider cosmological modelling in $f(R)$ theories of gravity, using both top-down and bottom-up constructions. The top-down models are based on Robertson-Walker geometries, and the bottom-up constructions are built by patching together…

This article deals with a nonrelativistic cosmological model based on Galilean covariance, formulated within a five-dimensional Galilean manifold. Within this framework, we construct an isotropic and homogeneous metric analogous to the…
In the present work, we study for the first time a scale--dependent gravitational theory in a cosmological context in a matter--dominated era. In particular, starting from the Einstein Hilbert action with cosmological constant assuming…
We propose a cosmological model in the framework of Poincar\'e gauge gravity, in which cosmological constant, inflaton, and dark matter candidate all naturally originate. Cosmological constant originates in the process of breaking of the…
The accelerating expansion of the Universe poses a major challenge to our understanding of fundamental physics. One promising avenue is to modify general relativity and obtain a new description of the gravitational force. Because…
