This book reviews various modified gravity models, including those with modifications in the pure gravitational sector; those involving extra fields, that is, scalar-tensor and vector-tensor gravity theories; gravity models with Lorentz symmetry breaking; and nonlocal gravity models. The authors discuss both classical and quantum aspects of these theories. The book is unique in bringing together all the current alternatives to Einstein gravity in one source and serves as an excellent starting point for graduate students and other newcomers seeking an overview. This second edition has been expanded with new results from a variety of approaches including f(R,Q,P) gravity, galileon gravity and massive gravity. Extended discussions of Lorentz-breaking terms and of non-local field theory have been added and a completely new chapter is devoted to models based on non-Riemannian geometry.

  • Quantum Super?eld Supersymmetry

    Albert Petrov

    This book presents the super?eld description of various supersymmetric ?eld theory models in three- and four-dimensional space-times. A mapping between super?eld and component formulations of supersymmetric ?eld theories is discussed. The author a...

  • Lorentz Symmetry Breaking-Classical and Quantum Aspects

    Tiago Mariz, Jose Roberto Nascimento, Albert Petrov

    This book presents a review of various issues related to Lorentz symmetry breaking. Explicitly, we consider (i) motivations for introducing Lorentz symmetry breaking, (ii) classical aspects of Lorentz-breaking field theory models including typical...
