The work develops an original approach based on modifications of General Relativity at cosmological scales, introducing non­-local effective terms that can in principle emerge from fundamental local theories. Both the phenomenological consequences and theoretical aspects of the proposal are developed in depth. The thesis also contains significant new material compared to that published by the author in scientific journals.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053GravitationCosmologyClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070Cosmologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22049Gravitation.Cosmology.Classical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory.Cosmology.530.11Mitsou Ermisauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut805197MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254637303321Infrared Non-local Modifications of General Relativity1807710UNINA
