1. Light propagation in the universe
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
2. Inhomogeneous cosmologies with clustered dark energy or a local matter void
Sammanfattning : In the standard model of cosmology, the universe is currently dominated by dark energy in the form of the cosmological constant that drives the expansion to accelerate. While the cosmological constant hypothesis is consistent with all current data, models with dynamical behaviour of dark energy are still allowed by observations. LÄS MER
3. Cosmic tests of massive gravity
Sammanfattning : Massive gravity is an extension of general relativity where the graviton, which mediates gravitational interactions, has a non-vanishing mass. The first steps towards formulating a theory of massive gravity were made by Fierz and Pauli in 1939, but it took another 70 years until a consistent theory of massive gravity was written down.

4. Gravitational collapse in bimetric gravity
Sammanfattning : Einstein’s theory of general relativity has been the prevailing theory of classical gravity for over a century. Its observational consistency is unparalleled. There are however a few (arguably) serious short-comings. LÄS MER
5. Was Einstein Wrong? : Theoretical and observational constraints on massive gravity
Sammanfattning : For more than a century, Einstein's theory of general relativity has described gravitational phenomena with astonishing precision. However, for the theory to fit observations we need to add two elusive substances: dark energy and dark matter. Together they add up to 95% of the energy budget of the Universe. LÄS MER
