Recent cosmological observations have posed a challenge for
traditional theories of gravity: what is the force driving the
accelerated expansion of the universe? What if dark energy or dark
matter do not exist and what we observe is a modification of the
gravitational interaction that dominates the universe at large
scales? Various extensions to Einstein's General Theory of
Relativity have been proposed, and this book presents a detailed
theoretical and phenomenological analysis of several leading,
modified theories of gravity. Theories with generalised
curvature-matter couplings are first explored, followed by hybrid
metric-Palatini gravity. This timely book first discusses key
motivations behind the development of these modified gravitational
theories, before presenting a detailed overview of their subsequent
development, mathematical structure, and cosmological and
astrophysical implications. Covering recent developments and with
an emphasis on astrophysical and cosmological applications, this is
the perfect text for graduate students and researchers.
