The $f(R,T)$ gravity is a theory whose gravitational action depends arbitrarily on the Ricci scalar, $R$, and the trace of the stress-energy tensor, $T$; its field equations also depend on matter Lagrangian, $\mathcal{L}_{m}$. In the…

We extend Padmanabhan's entropy functional formalism to show that, in addition to the Gauss-Bonnet or the entire series of Lanczos-Lovelock Lagrangians already obtained, more general higher-order corrections to General Relativity, i.e., the…
In this work we present a new framework of the gravity sector by considering the extension $F(R,w)$, in which $R$ is the Ricci scalar and $w$ is the equation of state. Three different choices of function $F(R,w)$ are investigated under the…
Fermions constitute an important component of matter and their quantization in presence of dynamical gravity is essential for any theory of quantum gravity. We revisit the classical formulation adapted for a background free quantization.…
We consider the two dimensional Jackiw-Teitelboim model of gravity. We first couple the model to the Liouville action and $c$ scalar fields and show, treating the combined system as a non linear sigma model, that the resulting theory can be…
The general relativistic non--linear dynamics of a self--gravitating collisionless fluid with vanishing vorticity is studied in synchronous and comoving -- i.e. {\em Lagrangian} -- coordinates. Writing the equations in terms of the metric…
In Riemannian geometry, the Ricci flow is the analogue of heat diffusion; a deformation of the metric tensor driven by its Ricci curvature. As a step towards resolving the problem of time in quantum gravity, we attempt to merge the Ricci…
In literature there is a model of modified gravity in which the matter Lagrangian is coupled to the geometry via trace of the stress-energy momentum tensor $T=T_{\mu}^{\mu}$. This type of modified gravity is called as $f(R,T)$ in which $R$…
In this note the Hamiltonian formulation of four-dimensional gravity, in the Palatini-Cartan formalism, is recovered by elimination of an auxiliary field appearing as part of the connection.
Motivated by the properties of matter quantum fields in curved space-times, we work out a gravity theory that combines the Born-Infeld gravity Lagrangian with an $f(R)$ piece. To avoid ghost-like instabilities, the theory is formulated…
Quantum treatment of physical reference frame leads to the Ricci flow of quantum spacetime, which is a quite rigid framework to quantum and renormalization effect of gravity. The theory has a low characteristic energy scale described by a…
The solutions of two-dimensional gravity following from a non-linear Lagrangian L = f(R) are classified, and their symmetry and singularity properties are described. Then a conformal transformation is applied to rewrite these solutions as…
In the Rastall gravity a non-minimal coupling between geometry and matter fields is considered. Then the usual energy-momentum tensor conservation law is not valid. Here a Lagrangian formalism is proposed to the Rastall theory of gravity.…
In this work we start from the Higgs prototype model to introduce a new model, which makes a smooth transition between systems with well located minima and systems that support no minima at all. We implement this possibility using the…

We show that method of characteristics provides a powerful new point of view on $T\bar{T}$-and related deformations. Previously, the method of characteristics has been applied to $T\bar{T}$-deformation mainly to solve Burgers' equation,…
Constraint analysis of the three-dimensional massive gravity, the so- called new massive gravity, is studied in the Palatini formalism. We show that amongst 6 components of the metric, 2 are dynamical, which is compatible with the existence…
