Bounces, turnarounds and singularities in bimetric gravity

Salvatore Capozziello, Prado Martin-Moruno

In this letter, we consider cosmological solutions of bimetric theory without assuming that only one metric is coupled to gravity. We conclude that any cosmology can be described b…

Updated constraints on gravity from cosmography

Alejandro Aviles, Alessandro Bravetti, Salvatore Capozziello +1

We address the issue of constraining the class of able to reproduce the observed cosmological acceleration, by using the so called cosmography of the universe. We…

Gravitational Cherenkov Radiation from Extended Theories of Gravity

M. De Laurentis, S. Capozziello, G. Basini

We linearize the field equations for higher order theories of gravity that contain scalar invariants other than the Ricci scalar. We find that besides a massless spin-2 field (the…

Gravitationally Generated Interactions

Salvatore Capozziello, Mariafelicia De Laurentis, Luca Fabbri +1

Starting from a 5D-Riemannian manifold, we show that a reduction mechanism to 4D-spacetimes reproduces Extended Theories of Gravity (ETGs) that are direct generalizations of Einste…

New Spherically Symmetric Solutions in f(R)-gravity by Noether Symmetries

S. Capozziello, N. Frusciante, D. Vernieri

Spherical symmetry for f(R)-gravity is discussed by searching for Noether symmetries. The method consists in selecting conserved quantities in form of currents that reduce dynamics…
