Some Issues in the Ghost Condensation Scenario

 


Abstract:

In the recently proposed "ghost condensation" scenario a model of consistent infrared modification of gravity was suggested. We first review the basic ideas of this scenario. We discuss various phenomenological aspects of the ghost condensation, such as stability of the condensate, bounds on the UV cuttoff scale of the corresponding effective field theory and other issues.
