Current and coming surveys will require sub-percent agreement in theoretical accuracy to test the different cosmological and gravity scenarios. This can be performed with Boltzmann solvers, i.e. codes that solve the linear evolution of…
Cosmological constraints of Modified Gravity (MG) models are seldom carried out rigorously. First, even though general MG models evolve differently (i.e., background and perturbations) to the standard cosmological model, it is usual to…
We propose an effective anisotropic fluid description for a generic infrared-modified theory of gravity. In our framework, the additional component of the acceleration, commonly attributed to dark matter, is explained as a radial pressure…
We apply to tensor-multi-scalar gravity the effective fluid analysis based on the representation of the gravitational scalar field as a dissipative effective fluid. This generalization poses new challenges as the effective fluid is now a…
We present a family of designer Horndeski models, i.e. models that have a background exactly equal to that of the $\Lambda$CDM model but perturbations given by the Horndeski theory. Then, we extend the effective fluid approach to Horndeski…
We review analytical solutions of the Einstein equations which are expressed in terms of elementary functions and describe Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker universes sourced by multiple (real or effective) perfect fluids with constant…
We develop an approach to compute observables beyond the linear regime of dark matter perturbations for general dark energy and modified gravity models. We do so by combining the Effective Field Theory of Dark Energy and Effective Field…
We take an Effective Field Theory (EFT) approach to unifying existing proposals for the origin of cosmic acceleration and its connection to cosmological observations. Building on earlier work where EFT methods were used with observations to…
In [arXiv:1004.2488], Baumann et al. present a new formalism for studying cosmological systems where the characteristic scale of non-linearities is much smaller than the Hubble scale. By integrating out the short-wavelength modes, it is…
Variational principle is the main approach to obtain complete and self-consistent field equations in gravitational theories. This method works well in pure field cases such as $f(R)$ and Horndeski gravities. However, debates exist in the…
We present the extension of the effective field theory framework to the mildly non-linear scales. The effective field theory approach has been successfully applied to the late time cosmic acceleration phenomenon and it has been shown to be…
By using a solution ansatz we partially decouple the metric and the Stuckelberg sectors of the minimal massive gravity (MMGR). In this scheme for a diagonal physical metric we find the general solutions for the scalars of the theory and the…
The Brans-Dicke-like field of scalar-tensor gravity can be described as an imperfect fluid in an approach in which the field equations are regarded as effective Einstein equations. After completing this approach we recover, as a special…
We derive an effective equation and action for comoving curvature perturbations and gravitational waves (GWs) in terms of a time, momentum and polarization dependent effective speed, encoding the effects of the interaction among metric…
Complimenting recent work on the effective field theory of cosmological large scale structures, here we present detailed approximate analytical results and further pedagogical understanding of the method. We start from the collisionless…
Near the singularity, gravity should be modified to an effective theory, in the same sense as with the Euler-Heisenberg electrodynamics. This effective gravity surmounts to higher derivative theory, and as is well known, a much more reacher…
The Effective Field Theory of Dark Energy (EFTofDE) provides a systematic and model-independent framework to study dark energy (DE) and modified gravity (MG) with one additional scalar degree of freedom. It can describe the known models…
In the present work we introduce a novel approach to study $f({\sf R},{\sf T})$ gravity theory from a different perspective. Here, ${\sf T}$ denotes the trace of energy-momentum tensor ({\sf EMT}) of matter fluids. The usual method (as…
We describe the cosmological dynamics of perfect fluids within the framework of effective field theories. The effective action is a derivative expansion whose terms are selected by the symmetry requirements on the relevant long-distance…
We consider scalar-vector-tensor (SVT) theories with second-order equations of motion and tensor propagation speed equivalent to the speed of light. Under the sub-horizon and the quasi-static approximations we find analytical formulae for…
