N2  - The these of Dr. Ibere Oliveira Kuntz  de Souza's Ph.D. work has been excellent and fully deserved to be published as a Springer Thesis. It Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the University of Sussex, Brighton, UK. It includes a concise review of classical and quantum general relativity, its extensions and applications to cosmology. Demonstrates the equivalence between particle dark matter and modifications of general relativity designed to account for the anomalous galaxy rotation curves. It provides an extensive investigation of the implications of quantum gravity for gravitational waves and inflation
