All Quiet on the Vector Front: Scalar Growth and Perturbative Control in Horndeski--Weyl-squared Gravity

Antonio De Felice, Guillem Domènech, Jan Tränkle

Higher-order curvature corrections to general relativity arise naturally in many fundamental theories and provide phenomenologically interesting low-energy effective field theories…

Perturbations and stability of black holes with static scalar hair in general GLPV theories

Petarpa Boonserm, Antonio De Felice, Ratchaphat Nakarachinda +2

We derive the background equations and complete odd- and even-parity quadratic actions for static, spherically symmetric black holes with radial scalar hair in general quartic-quin…

Light propagation and intensity transport in metric-affine geometry

Antonio De Felice, Lavinia Heisenberg, Gonzalo J. Olmo +1

We study electromagnetic wave propagation in metric--affine geometries, where torsion and non-metricity may be present and the coupling between electromagnetism and spacetime is no…

Minimally modified gravity with Laplacian auxiliary constraints and an inflationary realization

Jakkrit Sangtawee, Antonio De Felice, Khamphee Karwan

We construct a minimally modified gravity theory that propagates only two tensorial gravitational degrees of freedom around a spatially flat Friedmann--Lemaître--Robertson--Walker…

Defocusing dark energy: Raychaudhuri diagnostics beyond and the phantom divide

Özgür Akarsu, Antonio De Felice, N. Merve Uzun

In general relativity, cosmic acceleration is timelike defocusing of the comoving congruence and requires a negative total active gravitational mass density, $\mathcal{M}_{\rm tot}…

Evading Cosmological Strong Coupling in Non-minimally Coupled Vector Gravity

Antonio De Felice, Seishi Enomoto, Nagisa Hiroshima +1

Recent analyses of Proca theories with non-minimal curvature couplings have uncovered an additional scalar degree of freedom with an identically vanishing propagation speed, $c_s^2…
