We systematically review some standard issues and also the latest developments of
modified gravity in cosmology, emphasizing on inflation, bouncing cosmology and late-time …

Cosmography can be considered as a sort of a model-independent approach to tackle the
dark energy/modified gravity problem. In this review, the success and the shortcomings of …

Extended Theories of Gravity can be considered as a new paradigm to cure shortcomings of
General Relativity at infrared and ultraviolet scales. They are an approach that, by …

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 …

Over the past decade, f (R) theories have been extensively studied as one of the simplest
modifications to General Relativity. In this article we review various applications of f (R) …

Modified gravity theories have received increased attention lately due to combined
motivation coming from high-energy physics, cosmology, and astrophysics. Among …

We review the recent literature on modified theories of gravity in the Palatini approach. After
discussing the motivations that lead to consider alternatives to Einstein's theory and to treat …

Beyond Einstein's Gravity is a graduate level introduction to extended theories of gravity and
cosmology, including variational principles, the weak-field limit, gravitational waves …

In this work, we construct traversable wormhole geometries in the context of f (R) modified
theories of gravity. We impose that the matter threading the wormhole satisfies the energy …

Astrophysical observations are pointing out huge amounts of “dark matter” and “dark energy”
needed to explain the observed large scale structure and cosmic dynamics. The emerging …
