Summary of session A4 at the GRG18 conference: Alternative Theories of Gravity
arXiv:0711.0332 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/25/11/114017
Abstract
More than 50 abstracts were submitted to the A4 session on "Alternatives Theories of Gravity" at the GRG18 conference. About 30 of them were scheduled as oral presentations, that we summarize below. We do not intend to give a critical review, but rather pointers to the corresponding papers. The main topics were (i) brane models both from the mathematical and the phenomenological viewpoints; (ii) Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity in higher dimensions or coupled to a scalar field; (iii) modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND); (iv) scalar-tensor and f(R) theories; (v) alternative models involving Lorentz violations, noncommutative spacetimes or Chern-Simons corrections.
9 pages, no figure; the GRG18 conference was held in Sydney, Australia, 8-13 July 2007
