Unified cosmic history in modified gravity: from F(R) theory to Lorentz non-invariant models

TL;DR: In this article, the structure and cosmological properties of a number of modified theories, including traditional F (R ) and Hořava-Lifshitz F ( R ) gravity, scalar-tensor theory, string-inspired and Gauss-Bonnet theory, non-local gravity, nonminimally coupled models, and power-counting renormalizable covariant gravity are discussed.

$f(R,T)$ 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.

f(T) teleparallel gravity and cosmology

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of torsion in gravity has been extensively investigated along the main direction of bringing gravity closer to its gauge formulation and incorporating spin in a geometric description.

f(T) teleparallel gravity and cosmology

TL;DR: The role of torsion in gravity has been extensively investigated along the main direction of bringing gravity closer to its gauge formulation and incorporating spin in a geometric description, and various torsional constructions, from teleparallel, to Einstein-Cartan, and metric-affine gauge theories are reviewed.
