abstract
We reformulate Einstein's theory of gravity, isolating the conformal degree of freedom in a covariant way. This is done by introducing a physical metric defined in terms of an auxiliary metric and a scalar field appearing through its first derivatives. The resulting equations of motion split into a traceless equation obtained through variation with respect to the auxiliary metric and an additional differential equation for the trace part. As a result the conformal degree of freedom becomes dynamical even in the absence of matter. We show that this extra degree of freedom can mimic cold dark matter.

A nonlocal gravity model interpolates between MOND in bound systems and dark matter-like effects in cosmology.
The Paneitz operator in 4D belongs to extended mimetic gravity and is constrained by gravitational wave propagation speed.
Higher-derivative extension of dark matter yields an imperfect fluid that matches pressureless dust on homogeneous backgrounds but generates acceleration and vorticity to avoid caustic singularities in inhomogeneous cosmologies.
