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. . 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aCosmology 606 $aGravitation 606 $aNuclear physics 606 $aCosmology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22049 606 $aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070 606 $aParticle and Nuclear Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23002 615 0$aCosmology. 615 0$aGravitation. 615 0$aNuclear physics. 615 14$aCosmology. 615 24$aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory. 615 24$aParticle and Nuclear Physics. 676 $a523.1 700 $aSolomon$b Adam Ross$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0950324 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910149462003321 996 $aCosmology Beyond Einstein$92148674 997 $aUNINA
