We construct explicitly deformations of Einstein's theory of gravity that are consistent and phenomenologically viable since they respect, in particular, cosmological backgrounds. We show that these deformations have unique symmetries in…

The global stability of Minkowski spacetime, a milestone in the field, has been proven in the celebrated work of Christodoulou and Klainerman \cite{Ch-Kl} in 1993. In 2007, Bieri \cite{Bieri} has extended the result of \cite{Ch-Kl} under…
