Abstract
- The author of the chapter explains the screening mechanisms behind modified gravity models, such as thin-shell screening, K-mouflage and Vainshtein mechanisms, the frame transformation or modified gravity models, such as f(R) gravity, Braneworld gravity or Horndeski theory. Modified gravity: progresses and outlook of theories, numerical techniques and observational tests: edited by Baojiu Li and Kazuya Koyama, Singapore, World Scientific, 2019, 313 pp., $98 (hardback), ISBN: 9789813273993. The book provides a detailed introduction and modern perspective on modified gravity scenarios, together with recent tests of gravity, approximation methods, astrophysical tests and laboratory constraints.
