| Title: |
The Phenomenology of Gravity
|
| Abstract: |
The "standard model" of cosmology has had enormous success, fitting a
vast array of observations with a very limited number of parameters. How
best to modify this model for the next generation of observations remains an
open question. Here I present recent work towards a framework for such
modifications that preserves important General Relativistic principles
without introducing new degrees of freedom.
