Abstract The Nobel Prize winning confirmation in 1998 of the accelerated expansion of our
Universe put into sharp focus the need of a consistent theoretical model to explain the origin …

After a decade and a half of research motivated by the accelerating universe, theory and
experiment have reached a certain level of maturity. The development of theoretical models …

We review recent progress in massive gravity. We start by showing how different theories of
massive gravity emerge from a higher-dimensional theory of general relativity, leading to the …

We compile an updated list of 38 measurements of the Hubble parameter H (z) between
redshifts 0.07≤ z≤ 2.36 and use them to place constraints on model parameters of constant …

Motivated by recent developments in black hole thermodynamics, we investigate van der
Waals phase transitions of charged black holes in massive gravity. We find that massive …

We examine the observational viability of a class of f (R) gravity cosmological models.
Particular attention is devoted to constraints from the recent observational determination of …

A cluster of astronomical observations emerged that the present Universe is in a phase of
accelerated expansion. To examine the accelerated expansion of the Universe, we used the …

The paper at hand studies the heat engine provided by black holes in the presence of
massive gravity. The main motivation is to investigate the effects of massive gravity on …

We consider a scenario of modified gravity, which is generic to late-time acceleration,
namely, acceleration in the Jordan frame and no acceleration in the Einstein frame. The …

Motivated by the recent interests in spin− 2 massive gravitons, we study the structure of
neutron star in the context of massive gravity. The modifications of TOV equation in the …
