Journal ArticleDOI
f ( R ) theories of gravity
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of the most important aspects of the different classes of modified gravity theories, including higher-order curvature invariants and metric affine.
Book
Beyond Einstein Gravity: A Survey of Gravitational Theories for Cosmology and Astrophysics
TL;DR: The Noether symmetry approach to f(R) gravity has been proposed in this article, where the weak-field limit of metric f(r) gravity is shown to be weak.
Book
Cosmology in Scalar-Tensor Gravity
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a generalization of the Brans-Dicke cosmology in the Jordan frame to general relativity, which is the limit of general relativity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Black holes in scalar-tensor gravity.
TL;DR: It is extended that black holes which are stationary as the end point of gravitational collapse in Brans-Dicke theory are no different than in general relativity to the much more general class of scalar-tensor and f(R) gravity theories, without assuming any symmetries apart from stationarity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inflation and quintessence with nonminimal coupling
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the relationship between the scalar potential and the non-minimal coupling of scalar fields to the Ricci curvature in inflation and quintessence models.
