Modified theories of gravity: Why, how and what?

S Shankaranarayanan, JP Johnson - General Relativity and Gravitation, 2022 - Springer
General relativity (GR) was proven via the direct detection of gravitational waves from the
mergers of the binary black holes and binary neutron stars by the advanced LIGO and …

Extended gravity cosmography

S Capozziello, R D'Agostino… - International Journal of …, 2019 - World Scientific
Cosmography can be considered as a sort of a model-independent approach to tackle the
dark energy/modified gravity problem. In this review, the success and the shortcomings of …

[HTML][HTML] Model-independent reconstruction of f (Q) non-metric gravity

S Capozziello, R D'Agostino - Physics Letters B, 2022 - Elsevier
We consider gravity mediated by non-metricity, with vanishing curvature and torsion. The
gravitational action, including an arbitrary function of the non-metric scalar, is investigated in …

Cosmography in gravity

S Mandal, D Wang, PK Sahoo - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
Cosmography is an ideal tool to investigate the cosmic expansion history of the Universe in
a model-independent way. The equations of motion in modified theories of gravity are …

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 …

The cosmological constant problem and running vacuum in the expanding universe

J Sola Peracaula - … Transactions of the Royal Society A, 2022 - royalsocietypublishing.org
It is well known that quantum field theory (QFT) induces a huge value of the cosmological
constant (CC), Λ, which is outrageously inconsistent with cosmological observations. We …

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 …

Does dark energy really revive using DESI 2024 data?

Y Carloni, O Luongo, M Muccino - Physical Review D, 2025 - APS
We investigate the impact of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) 2024 data on
dark energy scenarios. We thus analyze three typologies of models, the first in which the …
