Isolated Objects in Quadratic Gravity - Bog af Samuele Silvervalle - Hardback

One of the main unanswered question of modern Physics is \How does gravity behave at small scales?\. The aim of this thesis is to illustrate in a comprehensive but accessible way how to look for deviations from Einstein's theory of General Relativity in this regime, looking at the simplest celestial bodies: static and spherically symmetric ones.With a conservative and bottom-up approach, at smaller scales the first corrections to the action of General Relativity are generally considered to be terms..
