In General Relativity, the issue of defining the gravitational energy contained in a given spatial region is still unresolved, except for particular cases of localized objects where the asymptotic flatness holds for a given spacetime. In…
Tensor-scalar theories of gravitation are commonly employed as extensions of General Relativity that allow to describe a much wider phenomenology. They are also naturally generated as low energy limit of higher-dimensional or unified…

Semiclassical Gravity replaces the energy momentum tensor $T_{\mu \nu}$ with its expectation value $\langle T_{\mu \nu}\rangle$ in Einstein equations, this making the Einstein tensor $G_{\mu \nu}$ a classical variable thus avoiding the…
