SPRINGERBRIEFS IN PHYSICS INTRODUCTION TO MOD...

This book reviews various modified gravity models  including those with modifications in the
pure gravitational sector  those involving extra fields  that is  scalar-tensor and
vector-tensor gravity theories  gravity models with Lorentz symmetry breaking  and nonlocal
gravity models. The authors discuss both classical and quantum aspects of these theories. The
book is unique in bringing together all the current alternatives to Einstein gravity in one
source and serves as an excellent starting point for graduate students and other newcomers
seeking an overview. This second edition has been expanded with new results from a variety of
approaches including f(R Q P) gravity  galileon gravity and massive gravity. Extended
discussions of Lorentz-breaking terms and of non-local field theory have been added and a
completely new chapter is devoted to models based on non-Riemannian geometry.
