Description

C-theory is a framework which provides a smooth transition between metric and palatini variations of f(R) actions. In the paper 1305.0695 we proved an equivalence between a specific C-theory and a particular non-local theory of gravity. We will present this result and speculate a bit on the implictions it has for locality in the context of alternative action principles in general.
