A Primer on Unimodular Gravity

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2023-03-24 v6 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

This chapter provides an introduction to Unimodular Gravity both at the classical and quantum level, discussing the r\^ole it might play in the partial solution of the Cosmological Constant problem. The main objective of this work is to serve as a conceptual introduction to Unimodular gravity without disregarding computational detail. In that sense, techniques used at the research level are presented and applied in detail.
