It explores two classes of modifications to gravity: those in which the graviton is given a small mass, and those in which Lorentz invariance is spontaneously broken. It elucidates the nature of cosmological perturbations in theories of massive bimetric gravity, including a potentially deadly instability. Theories of gravity beyond general relativity could explain why the expansion of the Universe is accelerating, obviating the need for a dark energy, and can also affect the evolution of the early Universe. Next, it investigates the nature of spacetime in massive gravity theories that contain two different spacetime metrics. Lastly, the strongest constraints to date are placed on the size of Lorentz-violating effects in the gravity sector during inflation. .Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053CosmologyGravitationNuclear physicsCosmologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22049Classical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070Particle and Nuclear Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23002Cosmology.Gravitation.Nuclear physics.Cosmology.Classical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory.Particle and Nuclear Physics.523.1Solomon Adam Rossauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut950324MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910149462003321Cosmology Beyond Einstein2148674UNINA
