Abstract

C-theory provides a unified framework to study metric, metric-affine and more general theories of gravity. In the vacuum weak-field limit of these theories, the parameterized post-Newtonian parameters β and γ can differ from their general relativistic values. However, there are several classes of models featuring long-distance modifications of gravity but nevertheless passing the Solar System tests. Here it is shown how compute the parameterized post-Newtonian parameters in C-theories and also in nonminimally coupled curvature theories, correcting previous results in the literature for the latter.
