Accelerating Universe in Modified Theories of Gravity
We study cosmologies in modified theories of gravity considering Lagrangian density f(R) which is a polynomial function of scalar curvature (R) in the Einstein-Hilbert action in vacuum. The field equation obtained from the modified action corresponding to a Robertson-Walker metric is highly non-linear and not simple enough to obtain analytic solution. Consequently we adopt a numerical technique...
متن کاملQCD Supersymmetry and Low Scale Gravity
Theories with large extra dimensions [1] invoke a brane picture of the universe, with matter confined on a brane embedded in a higher D-dimensional space (D = 4 + N), and only gravity free to propagate in the extra dimensions. A certain number, say n, of the N extra dimensions may be large, with size of the order of a millimeter. These scenarios are characterized by a low fundamental scale for ...
متن کاملScale invariant gravity and the quasi-static universe
We highlight the fact that the lack of scale invariance in the gravitational field equations of General Relativity results from the underlying assumption that the appropriate scale for the gravitational force should be linked to the atomic scale. We show that many of the problems associated with cosmology and quantum gravity follow directly from this assumption. An alternative scale invariant p...
متن کاملTensor-vector-scalar-modified gravity: from small scale to cosmology.
The impressive success of the standard cosmological model has suggested to many that its ingredients are all that one needs to explain galaxies and their systems. I summarize a number of known problems with this programme. They might signal the failure of standard gravity theory on galaxy scales. The requisite hints as to the alternative gravity theory may lie with the modified Newtonian dynami...
متن کاملFractal universe and quantum gravity.
We propose a field theory which lives in fractal spacetime and is argued to be Lorentz invariant, power-counting renormalizable, ultraviolet finite, and causal. The system flows from an ultraviolet fixed point, where spacetime has Hausdorff dimension 2, to an infrared limit coinciding with a standard four-dimensional field theory. Classically, the fractal world where fields live exchanges energ...
