The cosmological constant problem and gravity in the infrared

In this thesis we explore low energy extensions of Einstein's theory of General Relativity (GR). Initially our motivation will be the cosmological constant problem where large radiative corrections due to quantum field theories minimally coupled to the dynamical metric in GR leads to unacceptab...
