Structure formation in modified gravity cosmologies

We study linear and nonlinear structure formation in cosmologies where the accelerated expansion is driven by modifications to general relativity (GR). We focus on Galileon and Nonlocal gravity, which are two classes of models that have been attracting much attention. We derive the linearly perturbe...
