Testing general relativity in cosmology

M Ishak - Living Reviews in Relativity, 2019 - Springer
We review recent developments and results in testing general relativity (GR) at cosmological
scales. The subject has witnessed rapid growth during the last two decades with the aim of …

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 …

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
dark energy as well as the development of cosmological tests of gravity. Einstein's theory of …

Transforming gravity: from derivative couplings to matter to second-order scalar-tensor theories beyond the Horndeski Lagrangian

M Zumalacárregui, J García-Bellido - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS
We study the structure of scalar-tensor theories of gravity based on derivative couplings
between the scalar and the matter degrees of freedom introduced through an effective …

Essential building blocks of dark energy

J Gleyzes, D Langlois, F Piazza… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
We propose a minimal description of single field dark energy/modified gravity within the
effective field theory formalism for cosmological perturbations, which encompasses most …

Asymptotically flat black holes in Horndeski theory and beyond

E Babichev, C Charmousis… - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We find spherically symmetric and static black holes in shift-symmetric Horndeski and
beyond Horndeski theories. They are asymptotically flat and sourced by a non trivial static …

Black holes and stars in Horndeski theory

E Babichev, C Charmousis… - Classical and Quantum …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We review black hole and star solutions for Horndeski theory. For non-shift symmetric
theories, black holes involve a Kaluza–Klein reduction of higher dimensional Lovelock …

Nonlinear structure formation in the cubic Galileon gravity model

A Barreira, B Li, WA Hellwing, CM Baugh… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
We model the linear and nonlinear growth of large scale structure in the Cubic Galileon
gravity model, by running a suite of N-body cosmological simulations using the ECOSMOG …

Stability of black holes and the speed of gravitational waves within self-tuning cosmological models

E Babichev, C Charmousis, G Esposito-Farèse… - Physical Review Letters, 2018 - APS
The gravitational wave event GW170817 together with its electromagnetic counterparts
constrains the speed of gravity to be extremely close to that of light. We first show, on the …

Consistency of universally nonminimally coupled theories

I Ayuso, J Beltrán Jiménez, Á de la Cruz-Dombriz - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
We discuss the consistency of a recently proposed class of theories described by an
arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar, the trace of the energy-momentum tensor, and the …
