Born–Infeld inspired modifications of gravity

JB Jiménez, L Heisenberg, GJ Olmo, D Rubiera-Garcia - Physics Reports, 2018 - Elsevier
General Relativity has shown an outstanding observational success in the scales where it
has been directly tested. However, modifications have been intensively explored in the …

Static response and Love numbers of Schwarzschild black holes

L Hui, A Joyce, R Penco, L Santoni… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We derive the quadratic action for the physical degrees of freedom of massless spin-0, spin-
1, and spin-2 perturbations on a Schwarzschild-(A) dS background in arbitrary dimensions …

Astrophysical probes of the Vainshtein mechanism: stars and galaxies

K Koyama, J Sakstein - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
Ghost-free theories beyond the Horndeski class exhibit a partial breaking of the Vainshtein
mechanism inside nonrelativistic sources of finite extent. We exploit this breaking to identify …

Stable and unstable cosmological models in bimetric massive gravity

F Könnig, Y Akrami, L Amendola, M Motta, AR Solomon - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS
Nonlinear, ghost-free massive gravity has two tensor fields; when both are dynamical, the
mass of the graviton can lead to cosmic acceleration that agrees with background data, even …

Black hole solution and strong gravitational lensing in Eddington-inspired Born–Infeld gravity

SW Wei, K Yang, YX Liu - The European Physical Journal C, 2015 - Springer
A new theory of gravity called Eddington-inspired Born–Infeld (EiBI) gravity was recently
proposed by Bañados and Ferreira. This theory leads to some exciting new features, such …

Cosmological perturbations in massive bigravity

M Lagos, PG Ferreira - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a comprehensive analysis of classical scalar, vector and tensor cosmological
perturbations in ghost-free massive bigravity. In particular, we find the full evolution …

Fundamental theorem on gauge fixing at the action level

H Motohashi, T Suyama, K Takahashi - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
Regardless of the long history of gauge theories, it is not well recognized under which
condition gauge fixing at the action level is legitimate. We address this issue from the …

Higgs inflation and teleparallel gravity

S Raatikainen, S Räsänen - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Teleparallel gravity is a formulation of general relativity that is physically equivalent to metric
gravity if the gravitational action has the Einstein-Hilbert form and matter is minimally …

Higuchi ghosts and gradient instabilities in bimetric gravity

F Könnig - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
Bimetric gravity theories allow for many different types of cosmological solutions, but not all
of them are theoretically allowed. In this work we discuss the conditions to satisfy the Higuchi …

On the degrees of freedom count on singular phase space submanifolds

A Golovnev - International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 2024 - Springer
I discuss singular loci in the phase spaces of theories which lack globally well-defined
numbers of dynamical modes. This is a topic which appears quite often in the recent …
