Abstract

Celebrating the centenary of general relativity theory, we must recall that Friedmann’s discovery of the equations of evolution of the Universe became the strongest prediction of this theory. These equations currently remain the foundation of modern cosmology. Nevertheless, data from new observations stimulate a search for modified theories of gravitation. We discuss cosmological aspects of theories with two dynamical metrics and theories of massive gravity, one of which was developed by Logunov and his coworkers.
