In the context of the recently proposed type-II minimally modified gravity theory, i.e. a metric theory of gravity with two local physical degrees of freedom that does not possess an Einstein frame, we study spherically symmetric vacuum solutions to explore the strong gravity regime. Despite the absence of extra degrees of freedom in the gravity sector, the vacuum solutions are locally different from the Schwarzschild or Schwarzschild-(A)dS metric in general and thus the Birkhoff theorem does not hold. The general solutions are parameterized by several free functions of time and admit regular trapping and event horizons. Depending on the choice of the free functions of time, the null convergence condition may be violated in vacuum. Even in the static limit, while the solutions in this limit reduce to the Schwarzschild or Schwarzschild-(A)dS solutions, the effective cosmological constant deduced from the solutions is in general different from the cosmological value that is determined by the action. Nonetheless, once a set of suitable asymptotic conditions is imposed so that the solutions represent compact objects in the corresponding cosmological setup, the standard Schwarzschild or Schwarzschild-(A)dS metric is recovered and the effective cosmological constant agrees with the value inferred from the action.

We propose a modified gravity theory that propagates only two local gravitational degrees of freedom and that does not have an Einstein frame. According to the classification in JCAP 01 (2019) 017 [arXiv:1810.01047 [gr-qc]], this is a type-II minimally modified gravity theory. The theory is characterized by the gravitational constant $G_{rm N}$ and a function $V(phi)$ of a non-dynamical auxiliary field $phi$ that plays the role of dark energy. Once one fixes a homogeneous and isotropic cosmological background, the form of $V(phi)$ is determined and the theory no longer possesses a free parameter or a free function, besides $G_{rm N}$. For $V(phi) = 0$ the theory reduces to general relativity (GR) with $G_N$ being the Newtons constant and $V=const.$ being the cosmological constant. For $V(phi) e 0$, it is shown that gravity behaves differently from GR but that GR with $G_{rm N}$ being the Newtons constant is recovered for weak gravity at distance and time scales sufficiently shorter than the scale associated with $V(phi)$. Therefore this theory provides the simplest framework of cosmology in which deviations from GR can be tested by observational data.
In this paper, the shadows cast by non-rotating and rotating modified gravity black holes are investigated. In addition to the black hole spin parameter $a$ and the inclination angle $theta$ of observer, another parameter $alpha$ measuring the deviation of gravitational constant from the Newton one is also found to affect the shape of the black hole shadow. The result shows that, for fixed values of $a/M$ and $theta$, the size and perimeter of the shadows cast by the non-rotating and rotating black holes significantly increase with the parameter $alpha$, while the distortions decrease with $alpha$. Moreover, the energy emission rate of the black hole in high energy case is also investigated, and the result shows that the peak of the emission rate decreases with the parameter $alpha$.
We analytically derive a class of non-singular, static and spherically symmetric topological black hole metrics inF(R)-gravity. These have not a de Sitter core at their centre, as most model in standard General Relativity. We study the geometric properties and the motion of test particles around these objects. Since they have two horizons, the inner being of Cauchy type, we focus on the problem of mass inflation and show that it occurs except when some extremal conditions are met.
Working directly with a general Hamiltonian for the spacetime metric with the $3+1$ decomposition and keeping only the spatial covariance, we investigate the possibility of reducing the number of degrees of freedom by introducing an auxiliary constraint. The auxiliary constraint is considered as part of the definition of the theory. Through a general Hamiltonian analysis, we find the conditions for the Hamiltonian as well as for the auxiliary constraint, under which the theory propagates two tensorial degrees of freedom only. The class of theories satisfying these conditions can be viewed as a new construction for the type-II minimally modified gravity theories, which propagate the same degrees of freedom of but are not equivalent to general relativity in the vacuum. We also illustrate our formalism by a concrete example, and derive the dispersion relation for the gravitational waves, which can be constrained by observations.
In this work, we consider that in energy scales greater than the Planck energy, the geometry, fundamental physical constants, as charge, mass, speed of light and Newtonian constant of gravitation, and matter fields will depend on the scale. This type of theory is known as Rainbow Gravity. We coupled the nonlinear electrodynamics to the Rainbow Gravity, defining a new mass function $M(r,epsilon)$, such that we may formulate new classes of spherically symmetric regular black hole solutions, where the curvature invariants are well-behaved in all spacetime. The main differences between the General Relativity and our results in the the Rainbow gravity are: a) The intensity of the electric field is inversely proportional to the energy scale. The higher the energy scale, the lower the electric field intensity; b) the region where the strong energy condition (SEC) is violated decrease as the energy scale increase. The higher the energy scale, closer to the radial coordinate origin SEC is violated.
