Title | Modifying Gravity |
Abstract | General Relativity has been a successful theory for more than one century now. I will briefly review its accomplishments. However, most of the talk will be devoted to the reasons - both observational and theoretical- that encourage us to modify our current theory of gravity. I will discuss some alternative theories of gravity and their implications. Among these, I will focus on the addition of one scalar degree of freedom to standard GR. We will see some implications for cosmology and black holes. |
