Cosmic topology
M Lachieze-Rey, JP Luminet - Physics Reports, 1995 - Elsevier
General relativity does not allow one to specify the topology of space, leaving the possibility
that space is multi-rather than simply-connected. We review the main mathematical …

[HTML][HTML] Weak gravitational lensing in dark matter and plasma mediums for wormhole-like static aether solution
In this paper, we study the deflection angle for wormhole-like static aether solution by using
Gibbons and Werner technique in non-plasma, plasma, and dark matter mediums. For this …

[HTML][HTML] Observational constraints on f (T) theory
P Wu, H Yu - Physics Letters B, 2010 - Elsevier
The f (T) theory, which is an extension of teleparallel, or torsion scalar T, gravity, is recently
proposed to explain the present cosmic accelerating expansion with no need of dark energy …

Nonlinear gravitational lagrangians
G Magnano, M Ferraris, M Francaviglia - General relativity and gravitation, 1987 - Springer
Abstract “Alternative gravitational theories” based on Lagrangian densities that depend in a

A quintessential introduction to dark energy
PJ Steinhardt - … Transactions of the Royal Society of …, 2003 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Most of the energy in the Universe consists of some form of dark energy that is gravitationally
self-repulsive and that is causing the expansion of the Universe to accelerate. The possible …
