We suggest a mechanism by which four-dimensional Newtonian gravity emerges on a 3-brane in 5D Minkowski space with an infinite size extra dimension. The worldvolume theory gives rise to the correct 4D potential at short distances whereas at large distances the potential is that of a 5D theory. We discuss some phenomenological issues in this framework.

The imperfect fluid behind kinetic gravity braiding (2011, methodology): “In [56], we introduced a class of models which extends both k-essence and the action of the DGP [14] decoupling limit by Sφ = ˆ d4x √−g [K(φ, ∂φ) + G(φ, ∂φ) φ] , (1.1) which we have utilised as an Imperfect Dark Energy (see also Ref.”
The VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS) - an unprecedented view of galaxies and large-scale structure at 0.5 < z < 1.2 (2013, background): “If gravity is modified on large scales, different forms are predicted (e.g. Dvali et al. 2000; Linder & Cahn 2007).”
Testing cosmological structure formation using redshift-space distortions (2008, methodology): “For instance, dark energy models in which general relativity is unmodified predict different Large-Scale Structure formation compared with Modified Gravity models with the same background expansion (e.g. Dvali et al. 2000; Carroll et al. 2004; Brans2005; Nesseris & Perivolaropoulos 2008).”
New positivity bounds from full crossing symmetry (2020, background): “Galileon theories are scalar field theory that captures salient features of a number of massive gravitational models [45, 46, 64, 65] but have also been considered in their own right as effective theories with soft behaviour for their scattering amplitudes [43].”
Robust Dark Energy Constraints from Supernovae, Galaxy Clustering, and 3 yr Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe Observations (2006, background): “…can be explained by an unknown energy component (Freese et al. 1987;Linde 1987; Peebles &Ratra 1988;Wetterich 1988; Frieman et al. 1995; Caldwell et al. 1998), or amodification of general relativity (Sahni&Habib 1998; Parker&Raval 1999; Dvali et al. 2000;Mersini et al. 2001; Freese & Lewis 2002).”
Nonlocal gravity. Conceptual aspects and cosmological predictions (2017, methodology): “For instance the DPG model [96], which opened the way to the study of IR modifications of GR, has a self-accelerated solution [97, 98] but succumbed to fatal instabilities at the level of perturbations [99–103].”
