We study the consequences of the $f(R/Box)$ gravity models for the Solar system and the large scale structure of the universe. The spherically symmetric solutions can be used to obtain bounds on the constant and the linear parts of the correction terms. The evolution of cosmological matter structures is shown to be governed by an effective time dependent Newtons constant. We also analyze the propagation of the perturbation modes. Tensor and vector modes are only slightly modified, but two new scalar degrees of freedom are present. Their causality and stability is demonstrated, and their formal ghost conditions are related to a singularity of the cosmological background. In general, the Newtonian limit of these models has no apparent conflicts with observations but can provide useful constraints.
C-theory provides a unified framework to study metric, metric-affine and more general theories of gravity. In the vacuum weak-field limit of these theories, the parameterized post-Newtonian (PPN) parameters $beta$ and $gamma$ can differ from their ge
We examine the post-Newtonian limit of the minimal exponential measure (MEMe) model presented in [J. C. Feng, S. Carloni, Phys. Rev. D 101, 064002 (2020)] using an extension of the parameterized post-Newtonian (PPN) formalism which is also suitable f
Recently D. Vollick [Phys. Rev. D68, 063510 (2003)] has shown that the inclusion of the 1/R curvature terms in the gravitational action and the use of the Palatini formalism offer an alternative explanation for cosmological acceleration. In this work
We investigate the dynamics of a Bianchi I brane Universe in the presence of a nonlocal anisotropic stress ${cal P}_{mu u}$ proportional to a dark energy ${cal U}$. Using this ansatz for the case ${cal U} > 0$ we prove that if a matter on a brane sat
We give an overview of literature related to Jurgen Ehlers pioneering 1981 paper on Frame theory--a theoretical framework for the unification of General Relativity and the equations of classical Newtonian gravitation. This unification encompasses the
