The vacuum transition probabilities for a Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker universe with positive curvature in Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity in the presence of a scalar field potential in the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin approximation are…
The vacuum transition probabilities between to minima of a scalar field potential in the presence of gravity are studied using the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin approximation. First we propose a method to compute these transition probabilities…
We present a study of the vacuum transition probabilities taking into account quantum corrections. We first introduce a general method that expands previous works employing the Lorentzian formalism of the Wheeler-De Witt equation by…
We consider the generalisation of quantum tunneling transitions in the WKB approximation to the time-independent functional Schr\"odinger and Wheeler-DeWitt equations. Following a Lorentzian approach, we compute the transition rates among…
The vacuum transition probabilities for anisotropic universes in the presence of a scalar field potential in the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin approximation are studied. We follow the work by Cespedes et al [Phys. Rev. D 104, 026013 (2021)],…
Alternative gravitational theories described by Lagrangians depending on general functions of the Ricci scalar have been proven to give coherent theoretical models to describe the experimental evidence of the acceleration of universe at…
We reconcile seemingly conflicting statements in the literature about the behavior of cosmological solutions in modified theories of gravity where the Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian for gravity is modified by the addition of a function of the…
Modifications to gravity that add additional functions of the Ricci curvature to the Einstein-Hilbert action -- collectively known as $f(R)$ theories -- have been studied in great detail. When considered as complete theories of gravity they…
A number of recent observations have suggested that the Einstein's theory of general relativity may not be the ultimate theory of gravity. The f(R) gravity model with R being the scalar curvature turns out to be one of the best bet to…
In this paper, the metric approach of $f(R)$ theory of gravity is used to investigate the exact vacuum solutions of spatially homogeneous rotating spacetimes. For this purpose, R is replaced by f(R) in the standard Einstein-Hilbert action…
The modified $F(R)$ gravity theory with the function $F(R)=-(1/\beta)\ln(1-\beta R)$ is studied. The action at small coupling $\beta$ becomes Einstein--Hilbert action. The bound on the parameter $\beta$ from local tests is $\beta\leq…
We consider static, spherically symmetric vacuum solutions to the equations of a theory of gravity with the Lagrangian f(R) where R is the scalar curvature and f is an arbitrary function. Using a well-known conformal transformation, the…
In the present paper an attempt has been made to study the spatially homogeneous and isotropic FRW model and axially symmetric spacetime in f(R) theory of gravity. We have obtained the solutions of the field equations in vacuum. To find the…
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…
In this thesis we present the cosmological applications of some proposals from Quantum Gravity. Namely, we will explore classical and quantum cosmological implications of the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP), the Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz…
We propose a new model of modified $F(R)$ gravity theory with the function $F(R) = (1/\beta) \arcsin(\beta R)$. Constant curvature solutions corresponding to the flat and de Sitter spacetime are obtained. The Jordan and Einstein frames are…
We propose the study of constant-roll inflation in $F(R)$ gravity. We use two different approaches, one that relates an $F(R)$ gravity to well known scalar models of constant-roll and a second that examines directly the constant-roll…
In this work we present some cosmologically relevant solutions using the spatially flat Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) spacetime in metric $f(R)$ gravity where the form of the gravitational Lagrangian is given by…
We study the late time evolution of flat and negatively curved Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) models with a perfect fluid matter source and a scalar field arising in the conformal frame of $f(R)$ theories nonminimally coupled to matter.…
We derive the dynamics of (isotropic) scalar perturbations from the mean-field hydrodynamics of full Lorentzian quantum gravity, as described by a two-sector (timelike and spacelike) Barrett-Crane group field theory (GFT) model. The rich…
