In the present thesis we study the signatures of four alternative cosmological models in the Cosmic Microwave Background: Massive Gravity, the Modified Fierz-Pauli model (MFP), DBI inflation and Tachyacoustic Cosmology. The first two models are studied as alternatives to the Friedmann-Robertson- Wal...
