What makes the Universe accelerate? A review on what dark energy could be and how to test it

P Brax - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
Explaining the origin of the acceleration of the expansion of the Universe remains as
challenging as ever. In this review, we present different approaches from dark energy to …

Teleparallel bigravity

D Blixt, M Hohmann, T Koivisto, L Marzola - The European Physical …, 2023 - Springer
We write down the teleparallel equivalent to Hassan–Rosen bigravity, which is written using
a torsionful but curvature-free connection. The theories only differ by a boundary term. The …

Neutron star merger GW170817 strongly constrains doubly coupled bigravity

Y Akrami, P Brax, AC Davis, V Vardanyan - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
We study the implications of the recent detection of gravitational waves emitted by a pair of
merging neutron stars and their electromagnetic counterpart, events GW170817 and …

Cosmological perturbations in massive bigravity

M Lagos, PG Ferreira - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a comprehensive analysis of classical scalar, vector and tensor cosmological
perturbations in ghost-free massive bigravity. In particular, we find the full evolution …

Higher derivative gravity and conformal gravity from bimetric and partially massless bimetric theory

SF Hassan, A Schmidt-May, M Von Strauss - Universe, 2015 - mdpi.com
In this paper, we establish the correspondence between ghost-free bimetric theory and a
class of higher derivative gravity actions, including conformal gravity and new massive …

Linear growth of structure in massive bigravity

AR Solomon, Y Akrami, TS Koivisto - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
The ghost-free theory of massive gravity with two dynamical metrics has been shown to
produce viable cosmological expansion, where the late-time acceleration of the Universe is …

On the local structure of spacetime in ghost-free bimetric theory and massive gravity

SF Hassan, M Kocic - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer
A bstract The ghost-free bimetric theory describes interactions of gravity with another spin-2
field in terms of two Lorentzian metrics. However, if the two metrics do not admit compatible …

Cosmic expansion histories in massive bigravity with symmetric matter coupling

J Enander, AR Solomon, Y Akrami… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the cosmic expansion history of massive bigravity with a viable matter coupling
which treats both metrics on equal footing. We derive the Friedmann equation for the …

Black holes in multimetric gravity

K Wood, PM Saffin, A Avgoustidis - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We construct a wide class of black hole solutions to the general theory of ghost-free
multimetric gravity in arbitrary spacetime dimension, extending and generalizing the known …

Cosmological perturbations in massive gravity with doubly coupled matter

AE Gümrükçüoğlu, L Heisenberg… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate the cosmological perturbations around FLRW solutions to non-linear
massive gravity with a new effective coupling to matter proposed recently. Unlike the case …
