During the evolution of the universe there are at least two epochs during which electromagnetic waves cannot scan the universe's internal structure neither bring information to outside observers. The first epoch is when photons are in local…
The "measurability" of the non-minimal coupling is discussed in the context of the effective field theory of gravity. Although there is no obvious motive for excluding a non-minimal scalar coupling from the theory, we conclude that for…
It is a well known result that the effect of vacuum polarization in gravitational fields will lead to a non-minimal coupling between gravity and electromagnetism. We investigate this phenomenon further by considering the description of…
We investigate whether a non-minimal coupling between dark matter and gravity can influence the internal dynamics of ultra-diffuse galaxies. Within this framework, the gravitational potential is modified by an additional term that captures…
We explore a cosmological model in which dark matter is non-minimally coupled to gravity at the fluid level. While typically subdominant compared to Standard Model forces, such couplings may dominate dark matter dynamics. We show that this…

In conventional Maxwell--Lorentz electrodynamics, the propagation of light is influenced by the metric, not, however, by the possible presence of a torsion T. Still the light can feel torsion if the latter is coupled nonminimally to the…
