Alternatives to Einstein's general relativity theory

PO Hess - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2020 - Elsevier
A Review on attempts to propose alternative theories to the General Relativity is presented.
The restriction is on classical models/theories and comprise rather algebraic extensions of …

Torsional dark energy in quadratic gauge gravity

A van de Venn, D Vasak, J Kirsch… - The European Physical …, 2023 - Springer
The covariant canonical gauge theory of gravity (CCGG) is a gauge field formulation of
gravity which a priori includes non-metricity and torsion. It extends the Lagrangian of …

[HTML][HTML] The dark side of the torsion: dark energy from propagating torsion

D Benisty, EI Guendelman, A van de Venn… - The European Physical …, 2022 - Springer
An extension to the Einstein–Cartan (EC) action is discussed in terms of cosmological
solutions. The torsion incorporated in the EC Lagrangian is assumed to be totally anti …

[HTML][HTML] Torsion driving cosmic expansion

J Kirsch, D Vasak, A van de Venn… - The European Physical …, 2023 - Springer
We study a cosmological model based on the canonical Hamiltonian transformation theory.
Using a linear-quadratic approach for the free gravitational De Donder–Weyl …

Inflation from fermions with curvature-dependent mass

D Benisty, EI Guendelman, EN Saridakis, H Stoecker… - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
A model of inflation realization driven by fermions with curvature-dependent mass is studied.
Such a term is derived from the covariant canonical gauge theory of gravity (CCGG) …

Quadratic curvature theories formulated as Covariant Canonical Gauge theories of Gravity

D Benisty, EI Guendelman, D Vasak, J Struckmeier… - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
The covariant canonical gauge theory of gravity is generalized by including at the
Lagrangian level all possible quadratic curvature invariants. In this approach, the covariant …

Quantization of a new canonical, covariant, and symplectic hamiltonian density

D Chester, XD Arsiwalla, LH Kauffman, M Planat… - Symmetry, 2024 - mdpi.com
We generalize Koopman–von Neumann classical mechanics to poly symplectic fields and
recover De Donder–Weyl's theory. Compared with Dirac's Hamiltonian density, it inspires a …

Quintessential inflation with dynamical Higgs generation as an affine gravity

D Benisty, EI Guendelman, E Nissimov, S Pacheva - Symmetry, 2020 - mdpi.com
First, we propose a scale-invariant modified gravity interacting with a neutral scalar inflaton
and a Higgs-like SU (2)× U (1) iso-doublet scalar field based on the formalism of non …

Dark energy and inflation invoked in CCGG by locally contorted space-time

D Vasak, J Kirsch, J Struckmeier - The European Physical Journal Plus, 2020 - Springer
The cosmological implications of the covariant canonical gauge theory of gravity (CCGG)
are investigated. We deduce that, in a metric-compatible geometry, the requirement of …

Covariant canonical gauge theory of gravitation for fermions

J Struckmeier, D Vasak - Astronomische Nachrichten, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
We derive the interaction of fermions with a dynamical space–time based on the postulate
that the description of physics should be independent of the reference frame, which means …
