Until recently the study of the gravitational field of dark matter was primarily concerned with its local effects on the motion of stars in galaxies and galaxy clusters. On the other hand, the WMAP experiment has shown that the gravitational field produced by dark matter amplifies the higher acoustic modes of the CMBR power spectrum, more intensely than the gravitational field of baryons. Such a wide range of experimental evidences from cosmology to local gravity suggests the necessity of a comprehensive analysis of the dark matter gravitational field per se, regardless of any other attributes that dark matter may eventually possess. In this paper we introduce and apply Nashs theory of perturbative geometry to the study of the dark matter gravitational field alone, in a higher-dimensional framework. It is shown that the dark matter gravitational perturbations in the early universe can be explained by the extrinsic curvature of the standard cosmology. Together with the estimated presence of massive neutrinos, such geometric perturbation is compatible not only with the observed power spectrum in the WMAP experiment but also with the most recent data on the accelerated expansion of the universe. It is possible that the same structure formation exists locally, such as in the cases of young galaxies or in cluster collisions. In most other cases it seems to have ceased when the extrinsic curvature becomes negligible, leading to Einsteins equations in four dimensions. The slow motion of stars in galaxies and the motion of plasma substructures in nearly colliding clusters are calculated with the geodesic equation for a slowly moving object in a gravitational field of arbitrary strength.

Adopting Diracs brane variation prescription, the energy-momentum tensor of a brane gets supplemented by a geometrical (embedding originated) dark component. While the masslessness of the graviton is preserved, and the Newton force law is recovered, the corresponding Newton constant is necessarily lower than the one which governs FRW cosmology. This has the potential to puzzle out cosmological dark matter, a subsequent conjecture concerning galactic dark matter follows.
The logarithmic $R^2$-corrected $F(R)$ gravity is investigated as a prototype model of modified gravity theories with quantum corrections. By using the auxiliary field method, the model is described by the general relativity with a scalaron field. The scalaron field can be identified as an inflaton at the primordial inflation era. It is also one of the dark matter candidates in the dark energy era. It is found that a wide range of the parameters is consistent with the current observations of CMB fluctuations, dark energy and dark matter.
In this paper, we study a particular modified gravity Equation of State, the so-called Jaime-Jaber-Escamilla, that emerges from the first gravity modified action principle and can reproduce three cosmological viable $f(R)$ theories: the Starobinsky, Hu-Sawicki, and Exponential models . This EoS is a suitable candidate to reproduce the dynamical dark energy behaviour already reconstructed by the current data sets. Based on the joint statistical analysis, we found that our results are still in good agreement (within $1sigma$) with the $Lambda$CDM, while at perturbative level we notice that the matter power spectrum normalisation factor $sigma_8$ shows an agreement with SDSS and SNeIa+IRAS at 1-$sigma$ for the Starobinsky model and with SDSS-vec for the Hu & Sawicki and Exponential models. Furthermore, we found that for the $H_0$ values, Starobinsky and Hu & Sawicki show the least tension in comparison with PL18 TT. All these aspects cannot be observed textit{directly} from other alternatives theories, were a equation of state is difficult to compute analytically.
For a scalar field $phi$ coupled to cold dark matter (CDM), we provide a general framework for studying the background and perturbation dynamics on the isotropic cosmological background. The dark energy sector is described by a Horndeski Lagrangian with the speed of gravitational waves equivalent to that of light, whereas CDM is dealt as a perfect fluid characterized by the number density $n_c$ and four-velocity $u_c^mu$. For a very general interacting Lagrangian $f(n_c, phi, X, Z)$, where $f$ depends on $n_c$, $phi$, $X=-partial^{mu} phi partial_{mu} phi/2$, and $Z=u_c^{mu} partial_{mu} phi$, we derive the full linear perturbation equations of motion without fixing any gauge conditions. To realize a vanishing CDM sound speed for the successful structure formation, the interacting function needs to be of the form $f=-f_1(phi, X, Z)n_c+f_2(phi, X, Z)$. Employing a quasi-static approximation for the modes deep inside the sound horizon, we obtain analytic formulas for the effective gravitational couplings of CDM and baryon density perturbations as well as gravitational and weak lensing potentials. We apply our general formulas to several interacting theories and show that, in many cases, the CDM gravitational coupling around the quasi de-Sitter background can be smaller than the Newton constant $G$ due to a momentum transfer induced by the $Z$-dependence in $f_2$.
We report on precision resonance spectroscopy measurements of quantum states of ultracold neutrons confined above the surface of a horizontal mirror by the gravity potential of the Earth. Resonant transitions between several of the lowest quantum states are observed for the first time. These measurements demonstrate, that Newtons inverse square law of Gravity is understood at micron distances on an energy scale of~$10^{-14}$~eV. At this level of precision we are able to provide constraints on any possible gravity-like interaction. In particular, a dark energy chameleon field is excluded for values of the coupling constant~$beta > 5.8times10^8$ at~95% confidence level~(C.L.), and an attractive (repulsive) dark matter axion-like spin-mass coupling is excluded for the coupling strength $g_sg_p > 3.7times10^{-16}$~($5.3times10^{-16}$)~at a Yukawa length of~$lambda = 20$~{textmu}m~(95% (C.L.).
