$SU(\infty)$-QGR is a recently proposed fundamentally quantum approach to gravity and cosmology. In this model the Hilbert space of the Universe represents $SU(\infty)$ symmetry. Its fragmentation generates approximately isolated subsystems…
We derive the equation of matter density perturbations on sub-horizon scales for a general Lagrangian density f(R, phi, X) that is a function of a Ricci scalar R, a scalar field phi and a kinetic term X=-(nabla phi)^2/2. This is useful to…
We propose a phenomenological approach to the cosmological constant problem based on generally covariant non-local and acausal modifications of four-dimensional gravity at enormous distances. The effective Newton constant becomes very small…
A consistency condition of general relativity as an effective field theory in Minkowskian background uniquely fixes the value of the cosmological constant. In two-loop calculations, including the interaction of gravitons with matter fields,…
The $f(R,T)$ gravity is a model whose action contains an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar $R$ and the trace of the energy-momentum tensor $T$. We consider the separable model $f (R, T ) = \chi(R) + \varphi(T )$ and shown that, for…
We show that, in all metric theories of gravity with a general covariant action, gravity couples to the gravitational energy-momentum tensor in the same way it couples to the matter energy-momentum tensor order by order in the weak field…
In this Letter we construct the noncommutative (NC) gravity model on the $\theta$-constant NC space-time. We start from the NC $SO(2,3)_\star$ gauge theory and use the enveloping algebra approach and the Seiberg-Witten map to construct the…
We consider an $f(Q,T)$ type gravity model in which the scalar non-metricity $Q_{\alpha \mu \nu}$ of the space-time is expressed in its standard Weyl form, and it is fully determined by a vector field $w_{\mu}$. The field equations of the…
Unimodular gravity is characterized by an extra condition with respect to General Relativity: the determinant of the metric is constant. This extra condition leads to a more restricted class of invariance by coordinate transformation. Even…
We construct new classes of modified theories in which the matter sector couples with the Einstein tensor, namely we consider direct couplings of the latter to the energy-momentum tensor, and to the derivatives of its trace. We extract the…
We consider $f(R)$ gravity theories which unify $R^n$ inflation and dark energy models. First, from the final Planck data of the cosmic microwave background, we obtain a condition, $1.977 < n < 2.003$. Next, under this constraint, we…
We study the extent up to which the equivalence principle is obeyed in models of modified gravity and dark energy involving a single scalar degree of freedom. We focus on the effective field theories of dark energy describing the late time…
In the present study, we consider an extended form of teleparallel Lagrangian $f(T,\phi,X)$, as function of a scalar field $\phi$, its kinetic term $X$ and the torsion scalar $T$. We use linear perturbations to obtain the equation of matter…
Explanations of the late-time cosmic acceleration within the framework of general relativity are plagued by difficulties. General relativistic models are mostly based on a dark energy field with fine-tuned, unnatural properties. There is a…
One of the so-called viable modified gravities is analyzed. This kind of gravity theories are characterized by a well behavior at local scales, where General Relativity is recovered, while the modified terms become important at the…
Conservation laws have many applications in numerical relativity. However, it is not straightforward to define local conservation laws for general dynamic spacetimes due the lack of coordinate translation symmetries. In flat space, the rate…
The transformation properties of the gravitational energy-momentum in the teleparallel gravity are analyzed. It is proved that the gravitational energy-momentum in the teleparallel gravity can be expressed in terms of the Lorentz gauge…
Based on a general variational principle, Noether's theorem is revisited. It is shown that the so called pseudotensor problem of the gravitational energy-momentum is a result of mis-reading Noether's theorem, and in fact, all the Noether's…
We show that the conservation of energy-momentum tensor of a gravitational model with Einstein-Hilbert like action on a nearly Kahler manifold with the scalar curvature of a curvature-like tensor, is consistent with the nearly Kahler…
In this work we investigate several theoretical and phenomenological implications of a scalar -$F(R)$ gravity containing a non-minimal coupling to the scalar curvature. This kind of model is a generalization of axion-$F(R)$ gravity models,…
