f(R) theories

TL;DR: Various applications of f(R) theories to cosmology and gravity — such as inflation, dark energy, local gravity constraints, cosmological perturbations, and spherically symmetric solutions in weak and strong gravitational backgrounds are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extended Theories of Gravity

TL;DR: Extended Theories of Gravity as discussed by the authors can be considered as a new paradigm to cure shortcomings of General Relativity at infrared and ultraviolet scales, which is an approach that, by preserving the undoubtedly positive results of Einstein's theory, is aimed to address conceptual and experimental problems recently emerged in astrophysics, cosmology and High Energy Physics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modified gravity theories on a nutshell: Inflation, bounce and late-time evolution

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors systematically review some standard issues and also the latest developments of modified gravity in cosmology, emphasizing on inflation, bouncing cosmology and late-time acceleration era.
Journal ArticleDOI

$f(R,T)$ gravity

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered a modified theory of gravity, where the gravitational Lagrangian is given by an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar and of the trace of the stress-energy tensor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Beyond the Cosmological Standard Model

TL;DR: A review of the current state of the field and a framework for anticipating developments in the next decade can be found in this paper, where the authors identify the guiding principles for rigorous and consistent modifications of the standard model, and discuss the prospects for empirical tests.
