Proceedings from the 2012 Fourth International Meeting on
Gravitation and Cosmology, focusing on accelerated cosmic expansion
This volume provides both an update and a review of the state of
alternative theories of gravity in connection with the accelerated
expansion of the universe issue. Different theoretical proposals
exist to explain the acceleration in the cosmic expansion,
generating the dark energy issue and opening the possibility to
theories of gravity alternative to general relativity. Related
issues such as the dark matter problem are also surveyed in order
to give the readers profound insight on the subject from different
points of view. Comprised of short talks and plenary lectures given
by leading experts in the field, some of them with brilliant and
historic contributions, the book allows the reader to find readable
and referenced surveys in topics like f(R) theories, the dark
matter and dark energy issues, Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND)
scenarios, f(T) theories, scalar-tensor theories derived from
non-Riemannian geometries, emergent universes, the cosmological
constant and other topics of current interest for younger and
senior physicists and graduate students. These proceedings are from
the Fourth International Meeting on Gravitation and Cosmology, held
in Guadalajara, Jalisco, México, from 20 - 25 May, 2012, was
sponsored by ICTP- Trieste, Italy and COECyTJAL-Universidad de
Guadalajara, México. This event is a series of scientific meetings
started in 2004 in Cuba, focusing on current and selected topics in
the fields of gravitation and cosmology.
