In this work we investigate the behavior of two-dimensional (2D) cosmological models, starting with the Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) theory of gravitation. A geometrical term, non-linear in the scalar curvature $R$, is added to the JT dynamics to…
We show that the general theory of relativity can be formulated in the language of Weyl geometry. We develop the concept of Weyl frames and point out that the new mathematical formalism may lead to different pictures of the same…
We consider cosmological dynamics in generalized modified gravity theory with the $R\Box R$ term added to the action of the form $R+R^N$. Influence of $R \Box R$ term to the known solutions of modified gravity is described. We show that in…
We use Weyl connection and Weyl geometry in order to construct novel modified gravitational theories. In the simplest case where one uses only the Weyl-connection Ricci scalar as a Lagrangian, the theory recovers general relativity.…
Weyl's conformal theory of gravity is an extension of Einstein's theory of general relativity which associates metrics with 1-forms . In the case of locally integrable (closed non-exact) 1-forms the spacetime manifolds are no more simply…
We investigate the cosmological applications of a bi-scalar modified gravity that exhibits partial conformal invariance, which could become full conformal invariance in the absence of the usual Einstein-Hilbert term and introducing…
We discuss a nonlocal modification of gravity obtained adding a term $m^2 R\,\Box^{-2}R$ to the Einstein-Hilbert action. We find that the mass parameter $m$ only affects the non-radiative sector of the theory, while the graviton remains…
We present a fully covariant and gauge-invariant analysis of linear cosmological perturbations in Energy-Momentum Squared Gravity. Working within the 1+3 formalism, we derive the exact propagation equations for scalar, vector, and tensor…
In this paper we will study $R^2$-like inflation in a non-local modification of gravity which contains quadratic in Ricci scalar and Weyl tensor terms with analytic infinite derivative form-factors in the action. It is known that the…
Extended theories of gravity have been extensively investigated during the last thirty years, aiming at fixing infrared and ultraviolet shortcomings of General Relativity and of the associated $\Lambda$CDM cosmological model. Recently,…
We construct a class of generalized non-local gravity (GNLG) model which is the modified theory of general relativity (GR) obtained by adding a term $m^{2n-2} R\Box^{-n}R$ to the Einstein-Hilbert action. Concretely, we not only study the…
In this paper we consider modification of general relativity extending $R - 2 \Lambda$ by nonlocal term of the form $\sqrt{R-2\Lambda}\, \mathcal{F}(\Box)\, \sqrt{R-2\Lambda} ,$ where $\mathcal{F}(\Box)$ is an analytic function of the…
The Weyl geometric gravity theory, in which the gravitational action is constructed from the square of the Weyl curvature scalar and the strength of the Weyl vector, has been intensively investigated recently. The theory admits a…
We consider an extension of standard General Relativity in which the Hilbert-Einstein action is replaced by an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar, nonmetricity, torsion, and the trace of the matter energy-momentum tensor. By…
A class of globally scale-invariant scalar-tensor theories have been proposed to be invariant under a larger class of transformations that take the form of local Weyl transformations supplemented by a restriction that the conformal factor…
We discuss the cosmological implications of the $R~\Box^{-2}R$ nonlocal modification to standard gravity. We relax the assumption of special initial conditions in the local formulation of the theory, perform a full phase-space analysis of…
A class of vector-tensor theories arises naturally in the framework of quadratic gravity in spacetimes with linear vector distortion. Requiring the absence of ghosts for the vector field imposes an interesting condition on the allowed…
A nonlocal gravity model with a function $f(\Box^{-1} R)$, where $\Box$ is the d'Alembert operator, is considered. The algorithm, allowing to reconstruct $f(\Box^{-1} R)$, corresponding to the given Hubble parameter and the state parameter…
A classical nonlocal generalization of Einstein's theory of gravitation has recently been developed via the introduction of a scalar causal "constitutive" kernel that must ultimately be determined from observational data. It turns out that…
We obtain exact black hole solutions for static and spherically symmetric sources in a Weyl conformal gauge theory of gravity. We consider a quadratic gravitational action built from the Weyl tensor within a dilation geometry. In a…
