Relativistic scalar fields and the quasi-static approximation in theories of modified gravity

<p>Relativistic scalar fields are ubiquitous in modified theories of gravity. An important tool in understanding their on structure formation, especially in the context of N-body simulations, is the quasistatic approximation in which the time evolution of perturbations in the scalar fields is...
