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.

The Motion of Point Particles in Curved Spacetime
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the mathematical tools required to derive the equations of motion of a point scalar charge, a point electric charge, and a point mass in a specified background spacetime is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
A class of homogeneous cosmological models
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the field equations under the assumption that the source of the gravitational field is a perfect fluid, and there exists a group of motions simply transitive on three-surfaces orthogonal to the fluid flow vector.

Gravitational Waves in General Relativity. VI. The Outgoing Radiation Condition
TL;DR: In this paper, a covariant formulation of the outgoing radiation condition for gravitational fields is proposed, based on a detailed examination of the geometry of null lines and of the algebraic and differential properties of the Riemann tensor.
