Beyond the cosmological standard model

A Joyce, B Jain, J Khoury, M Trodden - Physics Reports, 2015 - Elsevier
After a decade and a half of research motivated by the accelerating universe, theory and
experiment have reached a certain level of maturity. The development of theoretical models …

[HTML][HTML] Modified gravity and cosmology

T Clifton, PG Ferreira, A Padilla, C Skordis - Physics reports, 2012 - Elsevier

Galileon inflation evades the no-go for PBH formation in the single-field framework

S Choudhury, S Panda, M Sami - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We consider Galileon inflation in the Effective Field Theory (EFT) framework and examine
the possibility for PBH formation during slow roll (SR) to ultra slow roll (USR) transitions. We …

Theoretical aspects of massive gravity

Infrared-modified gravities and massive gravitons

VA Rubakov, PG Tinyakov - Physics-Uspekhi, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We review some theoretical and phenomenological aspects of massive gravities in 4
dimensions. We start from the Fierz–Pauli theory with Lorentz-invariant mass terms and then …

Cosmological solutions in bimetric gravity and their observational tests

M von Strauss, A Schmidt-May, J Enander… - … of Cosmology and …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
We obtain the general cosmological evolution equations for a classically consistent theory of
bimetric gravity. Their analytic solutions are demonstrated to generically allow for a cosmic …

Neutron lifetime puzzle and neutron–mirror neutron oscillation

Z Berezhiani - The European Physical Journal C, 2019 - Springer
Standard Model, with its present precision, predicts the neutron β β-decay time τ _ SM=
878.7 ± 0.6 τ SM= 878.7±0.6 s which is perfectly compatible with the neutron lifetime …

Perturbations in massive gravity cosmology

D Comelli, M Crisostomi, L Pilo - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2012 - Springer
A bstract We study cosmological perturbations for a ghost free massive gravity theory
formulated with a dynamical extra metric that is needed to massive deform GR. In this …

FRW cosmology in ghost free massive gravity from bigravity

D Comelli, M Crisostomi, F Nesti, L Pilo - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2012 - Springer
A bstract We study FRW homogeneous cosmological solutions in the bigravity extension of
the recently found ghost-free massive gravity. When the additional extra metric, needed to …
