Dark matter as a Weyl geometric effect

P Burikham, T Harko, K Pimsamarn, S Shahidi - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We investigate the possibility that the observed behavior of test particles outside galaxies,
which is usually explained by assuming the existence of dark matter, is the result of the …

Coupling matter and curvature in Weyl geometry: conformally invariant f R, L m gravity

T Harko, S Shahidi - The European Physical Journal C, 2022 - Springer
We investigate the coupling of matter to geometry in conformal quadratic Weyl gravity, by
assuming a coupling term of the form L m R~ 2, where L m is the ordinary matter …

Conformal gravitational theories in Barthel–Kropina-type Finslerian geometry, and their cosmological implications

R Hama, T Harko, SV Sabau - The European Physical Journal C, 2023 - Springer
We consider dark energy models obtained from the general conformal transformation of the
Kropina metric, representing an (α, β)-type Finslerian geometry, constructed as the ratio of …

Modified teleparallel gravity with higher-derivative torsion terms

G Otalora, EN Saridakis - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
We construct F (T,(∇ T) 2,□ T) gravitational modifications, which are novel classes of
modified theories arising from higher-derivative torsional terms in the action and are different …

The generalized holographic c-function for regular AdS black holes

Y Li, YG Miao - The European Physical Journal C, 2022 - Springer
We use the causal horizon entropy to study the asymptotic behaviors of regular AdS black
holes. In some literature, the causal horizon entropy is regarded as a generalized …

De Sitter-Invariant Black Holes

DF López, S Abarghouei Nejad, JG Pereira - Universe, 2023 - mdpi.com
In the de Sitter-invariant approach to gravitation, all solutions to the gravitational field
equations are spacetimes that reduce locally to de Sitter. Consequently, besides including a …

Scale-invariant cosmology in de Sitter gauge theory

TS Koivisto, L Zheng - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
The Planck mass and the cosmological constant determine the minimum and the maximum
distances in the physical Universe. A relativistic theory, which takes into account a …

de Sitter-invariant special relativity and the dark energy problem

A Araujo, DF López, JG Pereira - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
The replacement of the Poincaré-invariant Einstein special relativity by a de Sitter-invariant
special relativity produces concomitant changes in all relativistic theories, including general …

De Sitter-invariant approach to cosmology

AV Araujo, DF López, JG Pereira… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
The spacetime short-distance structure at the Planck scale is governed by the Planck length,
usually interpreted as a three-dimensional Euclidian length. As such, it is not Lorentz …

Conformal cyclic evolution of the universe: a loop quantum gravity perspective

N Shriethar, C Rathinam - International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 2020 - Springer
The conformal cyclic cosmological evolution of the universe is discussed with the principles
of loop quantum gravity. The application of quantum mechanical aspects enables …
