F (r) Gravity, Torsion and Non-metricity
For both f(R) theories of gravity with an independent symmetric connection (no torsion), usually referred to as Palatini f(R) gravity theories, and for f(R) theories of gravity with torsion but no non-metricity, called U4 theories, it has been shown that the independent connection can actually be eliminated algebraically, as long as this connection does not couple to matter. Remarkably, the out...
متن کاملf(R) theories of gravity
Modified gravity theories have received increased attention lately due to combined motivation coming from high-energy physics, cosmology and astrophysics. Among numerous alternatives to Einstein’s theory of gravity, theories which include higher order curvature invariants, and specifically the particular class of f(R) theories, have a long history. In the last five years there has been a new st...
متن کاملPoisson–Sigma Model for 2D Gravity with Non–Metricity
We present a Poisson-sigma model describing general 2D dilaton gravity with non-metricity, torsion and curvature. It involves three arbitrary functions of the dilaton field, two of which are well-known from metric compatible theories, while the third one characterizes the local strength of non-metricity. As an example we show that α corrections in 2D string theory can generate (target space) no...
متن کاملf(R) gravity and scalar-tensor theory
In the present paper we will investigate the relation between scalar-tensor theory and f(R) theories of gravity. Such studies have been performed in the past for the metric formalism of f(R) gravity; here we will consider mainly the Palatini formalism, where the metric and the connections are treated as independent quantities. We will try to investigate under which circumstances f(R) theories o...
متن کاملf(R) gravity: successes and challenges
We review the state of the art of f(R) theories of gravity (in their various formulations), which have been proposed as an explanation of the cosmic acceleration alternative to dark energy. The successes of f(R) gravity are discussed, together with the challenges imposed by minimal criteria for their viability. Presented at SIGRAV 2008, 18th Congress of the Italian Society of General Relativity...
