We investigate a simple generalization of the metric exponential $f(R)$ gravity theory that is cosmologically viable and compatible with solar system tests of gravity. We show that, as compared to other viable $f(R)$ theories, its steep dependence on the Ricci scalar $R$ facilitates agreement with structure constraints, opening the possibility of $f(R)$ models with equation-of-state parameter that could be differentiated from a cosmological constant ($w_{de}=-1$) with future surveys at both background and perturbative levels.

LambdaCDM, for the currently preferred cosmological density Omega_0 and cosmological constant Omega_Lambda, predicts that the Universe expansion decelerates from early times to redshift z~0.9 and accelerates at later times. On the contrary, the cosmo
logical model based on conformal gravity predicts that the cosmic expansion has always been accelerating. To distinguish between these two very different cosmologies, we resort to gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), which have been suggested to probe the Universe expansion history at z>1, where identified type Ia supernovae (SNe) are rare. We use the full Bayesian approach to infer the cosmological parameters and the additional parameters required to describe the GRB data available in the literature. For the first time, we use GRBs as cosmological probes without any prior information from other data. In addition, when we combine the GRB samples with SNe, our approach neatly avoids all the inconsistencies of most numerous previous methods that are plagued by the so-called circularity problem. In fact, when analyzed properly, current data are consistent with distance moduli of GRBs and SNe that can respectively be, in a variant of conformal gravity, ~15 and ~3 magnitudes fainter than in LambdaCDM. Our results indicate that the currently available SN and GRB samples are accommodated equally well by both LambdaCDM and conformal gravity and do not exclude a continuous accelerated expansion. We conclude that GRBs are currently far from being effective cosmological probes, as they are unable to distinguish between these two very different expansion histories.
One aspect of the quantum nature of spacetime is its foaminess at very small scales. Many models for spacetime foam are defined by the accumulation power $alpha$, which parameterizes the rate at which Planck-scale spatial uncertainties (and thephase
shifts they produce) may accumulate over large path-lengths. Here $alpha$ is defined by theexpression for the path-length fluctuations, $delta ell$, of a source at distance $ell$, wherein $delta ell simeq ell^{1 - alpha} ell_P^{alpha}$, with $ell_P$ being the Planck length. We reassess previous proposals to use astronomical observations ofdistant quasars and AGN to test models of spacetime foam. We show explicitly how wavefront distortions on small scales cause the image intensity to decay to the point where distant objects become undetectable when the path-length fluctuations become comparable to the wavelength of the radiation. We use X-ray observations from {em Chandra} to set the constraint $alpha gtrsim 0.58$, which rules out the random walk model (with $alpha = 1/2$). Much firmer constraints canbe set utilizing detections of quasars at GeV energies with {em Fermi}, and at TeV energies with ground-based Cherenkovtelescopes: $alpha gtrsim 0.67$ and $alpha gtrsim 0.72$, respectively. These limits on $alpha$ seem to rule out $alpha = 2/3$, the model of some physical interest.
By relaxing the conventional assumption of a purely gravitational interaction between dark energy and dark matter, substantial alterations to the growth of cosmological structure can occur. In this work we focus on the homogeneous transfer of energy
from a decaying form of dark energy. We present simple analytic solutions to the modified growth rates of matter fluctuations in these models, and demonstrate that neglecting physics within the dark sector may induce a significant bias in the inferred growth rate, potentially offering a false signature of modified gravity.
Process of the nonlinear deformation of the shallow water wave in a basin of constant depth is studied. The characteristics of the first breaking are analyzed in details. The Fourier spectrum and steepness of the nonlinear wave is calculated. It is s
hown that spectral amplitudes can be expressed through the wave front steepness, and this can be used for practical estimations.
Process of the nonlinear deformation of the surface wave in shallow water is studied. Main attention is paid to the relation between the Fourier-spectrum and wave steepness. It is shown that the spectral harmonics of the initially sine wave can be ex
pressed through the wave steepness, and this is important for applications.
