The swampland: introduction and review

E Palti - Fortschritte der Physik, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
The Swampland program aims to distinguish effective theories which can be completed into
quantum gravity in the ultraviolet from those which cannot. This article forms an introduction …

Dynamics of dark energy

EJ Copeland, M Sami, S Tsujikawa - International Journal of Modern …, 2006 - World Scientific
We review in detail a number of approaches that have been adopted to try and explain the
remarkable observation of our accelerating universe. In particular we discuss the arguments …

Theoretical aspects of massive gravity

K Hinterbichler - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2012 - APS
Massive gravity has seen a resurgence of interest due to recent progress which has
overcome its traditional problems, yielding an avenue for addressing important open …

Tests of the gravitational inverse-square law below the dark-energy length scale

DJ Kapner, TS Cook, EG Adelberger, JH Gundlach… - Physical review …, 2007 - APS
We conducted three torsion-balance experiments to test the gravitational inverse-square law
at separations between 9.53 mm and 55 μ m, probing distances less than the dark-energy …

Torsion balance experiments: A low-energy frontier of particle physics

EG Adelberger, JH Gundlach, BR Heckel… - Progress in Particle and …, 2009 - Elsevier
We review recent mechanical experiments that test some of the most basic principles of
physics including the weak and strong forms of the Equivalence Principle, the gravitational …

Neutrinos in cosmology

AD Dolgov - Physics Reports, 2002 - Elsevier
Cosmological implications of neutrinos are reviewed. The following subjects are discussed
at a different level of scrutiny: cosmological limits on neutrino mass, neutrinos and primordial …

Reconciling dark energy models with theories

S Capozziello, VF Cardone, A Troisi - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields …, 2005 - APS
Higher-order theories of gravity have recently attracted a lot of interest as alternative
candidates to explain the observed cosmic acceleration without the need of introducing any …

Black holes and large N species solution to the hierarchy problem

G Dvali - Fortschritte der Physik, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
We provide the perturbative and non‐perturbative arguments showing that theories with
large number of species of the quantum fields, imply an inevitable hierarchy between the …

Observational constraints on dark energy with generalized equations of state

S Capozziello, VF Cardone, E Elizalde, S Nojiri… - Physical Review D …, 2006 - APS
We investigate the effects of viscosity terms depending on the Hubble parameter and its
derivatives in the dark energy equation of state. Such terms are possible if dark energy is a …

Cosmological tests of gravity

B Jain, J Khoury - Annals of Physics, 2010 - Elsevier
Modifications of general relativity provide an alternative explanation to dark energy for the
observed acceleration of the universe. We review recent developments in modified gravity …
