Extensions of f(R) Gravity
«'A very nice introduction to gravity theories and how on emight extend then in progressively more complicated ways. It is a well-written book, which provides the motivation for modified gravity theories, as well as a very clear formal development of the theories.' Alan Heavens, The Observatory»
Recent cosmological observations have posed a challenge for traditional theories of gravity: what is the force driving the accelerated expansion of the universe? What if dark energy or dark matter do not exist and what we observe is a modification of the gravitational interaction that dominates the universe at large scales? Various extensions to Einstein's General Theory of Relativity have been proposed, and this book presents a detailed theoretical and phenomenological analysis of several leading, modified theories of gravity.
