I start with a scenario where the universe is an abstract space $\mathcal{M}$ having $d$ dimensions. There is a two dimensional surface embedded in it. Embedding is a map from the embedded surface to $\mathcal{M}$ that has a field theory…

Induced gravity, defined as a globally scale-invariant ``first-generation'' scalar-tensor theory, is investigated within the framework of the thermodynamics of modified gravity theories. The ``temperature of gravity'' and its evolution…
A difficult task to deal with is the analytical treatment of models composed by three real scalar fields, once their equations of motion are in general coupled and hard to be integrated. In order to overcome this problem we introduce a…
