Scientific paper

The missing mass problem is the longest standing problem of modern cosmology. This is readily solved by positing the existence of an unknown form of matter, called the dark matter. Still, a particle with the properties required is yet to be found experimentally. An alternative explanation is that gravity deviates from General Relativity for small enough accelerations. One such a theory was proposed by Bekenstein, building on earlier work of Sanders and Milgrom. The theory has a tensor, a vector and a scalar field as dynamical agents of gravity and is thus called Tensor-Vector-Scalar (TeVeS). In this talk I give a short overview of TeVeS theory and discuss its cosmology.
