Aspects of galileons and generalised scalar-tensor theories

This thesis is devoted to the study of modified gravity theories, especially, the scalar-tensor theories. A theorem due to Weinberg which states, that the equivalence principle is a necessary consequence of Lorentz invariance in a gravitational theory described by spin-2 massless particles is presen...
