Stellar structure models in modified theories of gravity: lessons and challenges

Gonzalo J. Olmo, Diego Rubiera-Garcia, Aneta Wojnar

The understanding of stellar structure represents the crossroads of our theories of the nuclear force and the gravitational interaction under the most extreme conditions observably…

Minimum main sequence mass in quadratic Palatini gravity

Gonzalo J. Olmo, Diego Rubiera-Garcia, Aneta Wojnar

General Relativity yields an analytical prediction of a minimum required mass of roughly for a star to stably burn sufficient hydrogen to fully compensat…

Geometric inequivalence of metric and Palatini formulations of General Relativity

Cecilia Bejarano, Adria Delhom, Alejandro Jiménez-Cano +2

Projective invariance is a symmetry of the Palatini version of General Relativity which is not present in the metric formulation. The fact that the Riemann tensor changes nontrivia…

New scalar compact objects in Ricci-based gravity theories

Victor I. Afonso, Gonzalo J. Olmo, Emanuele Orazi +1

Taking advantage of a previously developed method, which allows to map solutions of General Relativity into a broad family of theories of gravity based on the Ricci tensor (Ricci-b…

Einstein-Cartan-Dirac gravity with symmetry breaking

Francisco Cabral, Francisco S. N. Lobo, Diego Rubiera-Garcia

Einstein-Cartan theory is an extension of the standard formulation of General Relativity where torsion (the antisymmetric part of the affine connection) is non-vanishing. Just as t…

Novel couplings between nonmetricity and matter

Francisco S. N. Lobo, Tiberiu Harko, Tomi S. Koivisto +2

We present a novel theory of gravity, namely, an extension of symmetric teleparallel gravity. This is done by introducing a new class of theories where the nonmetricity is coup…
