Nonminimal dark sector physics and cosmological tensions

E Di Valentino, A Melchiorri, O Mena, S Vagnozzi - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
We explore whether nonstandard dark sector physics might be required to solve the existing
cosmological tensions. The properties we consider in combination are (a) an interaction …

Primordial black holes and gravitational waves from non-canonical inflation

T Papanikolaou, A Lymperis, S Lola… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Primordial black holes (PBHs) can generically form in inflationary setups through the
collapse of enhanced cosmological perturbations, providing us access to the early Universe …

Testing late-time cosmic acceleration with uncorrelated baryon acoustic oscillation dataset

D Benisty, D Staicova - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2021 - aanda.org
Baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) involve measuring the spatial distribution of galaxies to
determine the growth rate of cosmic structures. We derive constraints on cosmological …

Unifying inflation with early and late-time dark energy in F (R) gravity

S Nojiri, SD Odintsov, VK Oikonomou - Physics of the Dark Universe, 2020 - Elsevier
In this work we shall present models of F (R) gravity which realize in a unified way the
inflationary era along with a post-inflationary early dark energy era, with the late-time dark …

Cosmology of strongly interacting fermions in the early universe

G Domènech, M Sasaki - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
In view of growing interest in long range scalar forces in the early universe to generate
primordial black holes, we study in detail the general relativistic formulation of a Fermi gas …

Unified dark energy and dark matter from dynamical spacetime

D Benisty, EI Guendelman - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
A unification of dark matter and dark energy based on a dynamical spacetime theory is
suggested. By introducing a dynamical spacetime vector field χ μ as a Lagrange multiplier …

[HTML][HTML] Torsion driving cosmic expansion

J Kirsch, D Vasak, A van de Venn… - The European Physical …, 2023 - Springer
We study a cosmological model based on the canonical Hamiltonian transformation theory.
Using a linear-quadratic approach for the free gravitational De Donder–Weyl …

Degeneracy, matter coupling, and disformal transformations in scalar-tensor theories

C Deffayet, S Garcia-Saenz - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
Degenerate scalar-tensor theories of gravity extend general relativity by a single degree of
freedom, despite their equations of motion being higher than second order. In some cases …

Curvature-induced pseudogauge fields from time-dependent geometries in graphene

PA Morales, P Copinger - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
The massless Dirac equation is studied in curved space-time on the (2+ 1)-dimensional
graphene sheet in time-dependent geometries. Emergent pseudogauge fields are found …

Notes on further refining de Sitter swampland conjecture with inflationary models

J Sadeghi, SN Gashti, MR Alipour - Chinese Journal of Physics, 2022 - Elsevier
In this paper, we challenge some inflationary models with the recent new conjecture of the
swampland program, namely, further refining the de Sitter swampland conjecture. So far …
