  • Constrained dynamics and higher derivative systems in modified gravity 

    Chen, Tai-jun (University of CambridgeDepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, 2015-06-09)
    In this thesis, higher derivative theories and constrained dynamics are investigated in detail. In the first part of the thesis, we discuss how the Ostrogradski instability emerges in non-degenerate higher derivative ...
