Exploring Alternative Theories of Gravity for Cosmic Acceleration

Tensor Calculus and Differential Geometry → Current Observational Constraints

This graduate-level learning path systematically explores modified gravity theories proposed to explain cosmic acceleration, including f(R) gravity, Horndeski theories, massive gravity, and screening mechanisms. It establishes the necessary foundations in general relativity, tensor calculus, differential geometry, and cosmological perturbation theory before delving into theoretical frameworks, observational tests with large-scale structure and CMB, and current constraints.
