Unified cosmic history in modified gravity: from F (R) theory to Lorentz non-invariant models

S Nojiri, SD Odintsov - Physics Reports, 2011 - Elsevier
The classical generalization of general relativity is considered as the gravitational alternative
for a unified description of the early-time inflation with late-time cosmic acceleration. The …

Extended theories of gravity

S Capozziello, M De Laurentis - Physics Reports, 2011 - Elsevier
Extended Theories of Gravity can be considered as a new paradigm to cure shortcomings of
General Relativity at infrared and ultraviolet scales. They are an approach that, by …

Dynamics of dark energy

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 …

theories of gravity

Beyond the cosmological standard model

A Joyce, B Jain, J Khoury, M Trodden - Physics Reports, 2015 - Elsevier
After a decade and a half of research motivated by the accelerating universe, theory and
experiment have reached a certain level of maturity. The development of theoretical models …

Introduction to modified gravity and gravitational alternative for dark energy

SI Nojiri, SD Odintsov - … Journal of Geometric Methods in Modern …, 2007 - World Scientific
We review various modified gravities considered as gravitational alternative for dark energy.

cosmological constant and satisfies both cosmological and solar-system tests in the small …

Modified Gauss–Bonnet theory as gravitational alternative for dark energy

S Nojiri, SD Odintsov - Physics Letters B, 2005 - Elsevier
We suggest the modified gravity where some arbitrary function of Gauss–Bonnet (GB) term
is added to Einstein action as gravitational dark energy. It is shown that such theory may …
