We describe how a certain simple modification of general relativity, in which the local cosmological constant is allowed to depend on the space-time curvature, predicts the existence of halos of modified gravity surrounding spherically-symmetric objects. We show that the gravitational mass of an object weighed together with its halo can be much larger than its gravitational mass as seen from inside the halo. This effect could provide an alternative explanation of the dark-matter phenomenon in galaxies. In this case, the local cosmological constant in the solar system must be some six orders of magnitude larger than its cosmic value obtained in the supernovae type Ia experiments. This is well within the current experimental bounds, but may be directly observable in the future high-precision experiments.

We study the gravitomagnetism in the Scalar-Vector-Tensor theory or Moffats Modified theory of Gravity(MOG). We compute the gravitomagnetic field that a slow-moving mass distribution produces in its Newtonian regime. We report that the consistency be
tween the MOG gravitomagnetic field and that predicted by the Einsteins gravitional theory and measured by Gravity Probe B, LAGEOS and LAGEOS 2, and with a number of GRACE and Laser Lunar ranging measurements requires $|alpha| < 0.0013$. We provide a discussion.
Gravitational theories differing from General Relativity may explain the accelerated expansion of the Universe without a cosmological constant. However, to pass local gravitational tests, a screening mechanism is needed to suppress, on small scales,
the fifth force driving the cosmological acceleration. We consider the simplest of these theories, i.e. a scalar-tensor theory with first-order derivative self-interactions, and study isolated (static and spherically symmetric) non-relativistic and relativistic stars. We produce screened solutions and use them as initial data for non-linear numerical evolutions in spherical symmetry. We find that these solutions are stable under large initial perturbations, as long as they do not cause gravitational collapse. When gravitational collapse is triggered, the characteristic speeds of the scalar evolution equation diverge, even before apparent black-hole or sound horizons form. This casts doubts on whether the dynamical evolution of screened stars may be predicted in these effective field theories.
A new generalization of the Hawking-Hayward quasilocal energy to scalar-tensor gravity is proposed without assuming symmetries, asymptotic flatness, or special spacetime metrics. The procedure followed is simple but powerful and consists of writing t
he scalar-tensor field equations as effective Einstein equations and then applying the standard definition of quasilocal mass.
The one-loop partition function of the $f(R,R_{mu u}R^{mu u})$ gravity theory is obtained around AdS$_4$ background. After suitable choice of the gauge condition and computation of the ghost determinant, we obtain the one-loop partition function of t
he theory. The traced heat kernel over the thermal quotient of AdS$_4$ space is also computed and the thermal partition function is obtained for this theory. We have then consider quantum corrections to the thermodynamical quantities in some special cases.
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 minimal
ly 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.
