It is felt by many that faster-than-light particles (tachyons) exist though none has been detected so far. Is it really possible to detect these particles? Some methods are brought up.
According to the general theory of relativity, the current paradigm for gravitation and concordant observational data, about 95% of the Universe’s content is only perceivable through gravitational effects. Consolidating the predictions of... more
We construct an updated and extended compilation of growth rate data consisting of 34 points and including corrections for model dependence. In order to maximize the independence of the datapoints we also construct a subsample of this... more
We study the evolution of homogeneous and isotropic, flat cosmological models within the general scalar-tensor theory of gravity with arbitrary coupling function and potential and scrutinize its limit to general relativity. Using the... more
Scalar-tensor gravity theories with a nonminimal Gauss-Bonnet coupling typically lead to an anomalous propagation speed for gravitational waves, and have therefore been tightly constrained by multimessenger observations such as... more
In this note we derive extensively the equations of motion for the MTZ action ("Einstein-Hilbert+ Klein-Gordon" action).
