Mimetic gravity: a review of recent developments and applications to cosmology and astrophysics

L Sebastiani, S Vagnozzi… - Advances in High Energy …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Mimetic gravity is a Weyl‐symmetric extension of General Relativity, related to the latter by a
singular disformal transformation, wherein the appearance of a dust‐like perfect fluid can …

Aspects of axion F (R) gravity

SD Odintsov, VK Oikonomou - Europhysics Letters, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
We provide a compact review on recent developments on axion F (R) gravity. The axion field
is a string-theory–originated theoretical particle that is a perfect candidate for low-mass …

Chirality of gravitational waves in Chern-Simons gravity cosmology

SD Odintsov, VK Oikonomou - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
In this paper we shall consider an axionic Chern-Simons-corrected f (R) gravity theoretical
framework, and we shall study the chirality of the generated primordial gravitational waves …

gravity inflation with string-corrected axion dark matter

SD Odintsov, VK Oikonomou - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
It is quite well known that string-inspired axionic terms of the form ν (ϕ) R˜ R, known also as
Chern-Simons terms, do not affect the scalar perturbations and the background evolution for …

Non-minimal geometry–matter couplings in Weyl–Cartan space–times: f (R, T, Q, Tm) gravity

T Harko, N Myrzakulov, R Myrzakulov… - Physics of the Dark …, 2021 - Elsevier
We consider an extension of standard General Relativity in which the Hilbert–Einstein action
is replaced by an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar, nonmetricity, torsion, and the trace of …

Propagation of gravitational waves in Chern-Simons axion Einstein gravity

S Nojiri, SD Odintsov, VK Oikonomou, AA Popov - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
In this paper we shall investigate the propagation of gravitational waves in a flat Friedman-
Robertson-Walker background, in the context of a string motivated corrected Einstein gravity …

Unifying an asymmetric bounce to the dark energy in Chern–Simons F (R) gravity

SD Odintsov, T Paul, I Banerjee, R Myrzakulov… - Physics of the Dark …, 2021 - Elsevier
We propose a cosmological scenario in which the universe undergoes through a non-
singular bounce, and after the bounce, it decelerates having a matter-like dominated …

Recovering a MOND-like acceleration law in mimetic gravity

S Vagnozzi - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We reconsider the recently proposed mimetic gravity, focusing in particular on whether the
theory is able to reproduce the inferred flat rotation curves of galaxies. We extend the theory …

Propagation of gravitational waves in Chern–Simons axion F (R) gravity

S Nojiri, SD Odintsov, VK Oikonomou… - Physics of the Dark …, 2020 - Elsevier
In this paper we shall study the evolution of cosmological gravitational waves in the context
of Chern–Simons axion F (R) gravity. In the case of Chern–Simons axion F (R) gravity there …

Generalizing the coupling between geometry and matter: f R, L m, T gravity

Z Haghani, T Harko - The European Physical Journal C, 2021 - Springer
We generalize and unify the f R, T and f R, L m type gravity models by assuming that the
gravitational Lagrangian is given by an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar R, of the trace of …
