We propose a new model-independent reconstruction method for the matter power spectrum based on its time dependence and a combination of observations from different redshifts. The method builds on a perturbative expansion in terms of the…
We study structure formation using relativistic cosmological linear perturbation theory in the presence of intrinsic and relative (with respect to matter) non-adiabatic dark energy perturbations. For different dark energy models we assess…
We study the growth of matter density perturbations delta_m for a number of viable f(R) gravity models that satisfy both cosmological and local gravity constraints, where the Lagrangian density f is a function of the Ricci scalar R. If the…
We study large-scale structure formation in the presence of a quintessence component with zero speed of sound in the framework of Eulerian Perturbation Theory. Due to the absence of pressure gradients, quintessence and dark matter are…
A probability of distinguishing between $\Lambda$CDM model and modified gravity is studied by using the future observations for the growth rate of cosmic structure (Euclid redshift survey). Adopting extended DGP model, Kinetic Gravity…
We provide insight about the full form of the equations for matter density perturbations and the scalar Bardeen metric potentials in general $f(R)$ theories of gravity. When considering viable modifications to the standard $\Lambda$CDM…
We consider a class of nonlocal, pure-metric modified gravity models which were developed to reproduce the Tully-Fisher relation without dark matter and without changing the amount of weak lensing predicted by general relativity. Previous…
We introduce a cosmological model based on the normal branch of DGP braneworld gravity with a smooth dark energy component on the brane. The expansion history in this model is identical to LambdaCDM, thus evading all geometric constraints…
We present a three dimensional cosmic shear analysis of the Hubble Space Telescope COSMOS survey, the largest ever optical imaging program performed in space. We have measured the shapes of galaxies for the tell-tale distortions caused by…
We outline how redshift-space distortions (RSD) can be measured from the angular correlation function w({\theta}), of galaxies selected from photometric surveys. The natural degeneracy between RSD and galaxy bias can be minimized by…
We perform a validation of estimates of the growth rate of structure, described by the parameter combination $f\sigma_8$, in modified gravity cosmologies. We consider an analysis pipeline based on the redshift-space distortion modelling of…
We develop the formalism to investigate the relation between the evolution of the large-scale (quasi) linear structure and that of the small-scale nonlinear structure in Newtonian cosmology within the Lagrangian framework. In doing so, we…
Combining Supernovae, Baryon Acoustic Oscillations and Redshift-Space Distortions data from the next generation of (Stage-IV) cosmological surveys, we aim to reconstruct the expansion history up to large redshifts using forward-modeling of…
We consider predictions for structure formation from modifications to general relativity in which the Einstein-Hilbert action is replaced by a general function of the Ricci scalar. We work without fixing a gauge, as well as in explicit…
A proposal for constructing a universal nonlinear ${\hat W}_{\infty}$ algebra is made as the symmetry algebra of a rotational Killing-symmetry reduction of the nonlinear perturbations of Moyal-Integrable deformations of $D=4$ Self Dual…
Models of gravity with variable G and Lambda have acquired greater relevance after the recent evidence in favour of the Einstein theory being non-perturbatively renormalizable in the Weinberg sense. The present paper builds a modified…
We review the screening nature and many-body physics foundation of the van der Waals density functional (vdW-DF) method, a systematic approach to construct truly nonlocal exchange-correlation energy density functionals. To that end we…
We propose a new non-parametric method to constrain the cosmological model through the growth factor of large-scale structure. To constrain the cosmological model from observations such as cosmic microwave background or large-scale…
I review a class of nonlocally modified gravity models which were proposed to explain the current phase of cosmic acceleration without dark energy. Among the topics considered are deriving causal and conserved field equations, adjusting the…
It has been long known that by appropriately modifying gravity one can always reproduce the expansion history of any dark energy model, e.g. the $\Lambda$CDM. This degeneracy cannot be broken with geometric probes like the Type Ia…
