Cosmological gravitational particle production and its implications for cosmological relics

EW Kolb, AJ Long - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2024 - APS
Cosmological gravitational particle production (CGPP) is the creation of particles in an
expanding universe due solely to their gravitational interaction. These particles can play an …

Cosmological tests of modified gravity

K Koyama - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We review recent progress in the construction of modified gravity models as alternatives to
