In our previous paper (Phys. Rev. D 94, 104030 (2016)), inspired by the work of Allen and Turyn (Nucl. Phys. B 292, 813 (1987)), we expressed the graviton two-point function in terms of maximally symmetric bitensors in de Sitter spacetime.…

Metric theories of gravity are studied, beginning with a general action that is quadratic in curvature and allows infinite inverse powers of the d'Alembertian operator, resulting in infrared non-local extensions of general relativity. The…

We investigate the cosmology of a recently proposed deformation of Einstein gravity, emerging from quantum gravity heuristics. The theory is constructed to have de Sitter space as a vacuum solution, and thus to be relevant to the…

By relaxing the conventional assumption of a purely gravitational interaction between dark energy and dark matter, substantial alterations to the growth of cosmological structure can occur. In this work we focus on the homogeneous transfer…
