Teleparallel gravity: from theory to cosmology

S Bahamonde, KF Dialektopoulos… - Reports on Progress …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Teleparallel gravity (TG) has significantly increased in popularity in recent decades, bringing
attention to Einstein's other theory of gravity. In this Review, we give a comprehensive …

Primordial black hole constraints with Hawking radiation—A review

J Auffinger - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2023 - Elsevier
Primordial black holes are under intense scrutiny since the detection of gravitational waves
from mergers of Solar-mass black holes in 2015. More recently, the development of …

Improved constraints on cosmic birefringence from the WMAP and Planck cosmic microwave background polarization data

JR Eskilt, E Komatsu - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
The observed pattern of linear polarization of the cosmic microwave background photons is
a sensitive probe of physics violating parity symmetry under inversion of spatial coordinates …

Inflation: theory and observations

A Achúcarro, M Biagetti, M Braglia, G Cabass… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
Cosmic inflation provides a window to the highest energy densities accessible in nature, far
beyond those achievable in any realistic terrestrial experiment. Theoretical insights into the …

Cosmology at high redshift—a probe of fundamental physics

N Sailer, E Castorina, S Ferraro… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
An observational program focused on the high redshift (2< z< 6) Universe has the
opportunity to dramatically improve over upcoming LSS and CMB surveys on measurements …

Inflation in metric-affine quadratic gravity

ID Gialamas, K Tamvakis - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
In the general framework of Metric-Affine theories of gravity, where the metric and the
connection are independent variables, we consider actions quadratic in the Ricci scalar …

Dark dimension and the standard model landscape

LA Anchordoqui, I Antoniadis, J Cunat - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We study the landscape of lower-dimensional vacua of the standard model (SM) coupled to
gravity in the presence of the so-called “dark dimension” of size R⊥ in the micron range …

[HTML][HTML] From clusters to proto-clusters: the infrared perspective on environmental galaxy evolution

S Alberts, A Noble - Universe, 2022 - mdpi.com
Environment is one of the primary drivers of galaxy evolution; via multiple mechanisms, it
can control the critical process of transforming galaxies from star forming to quiescent …

[HTML][HTML] Cosmological implications of ns≈ 1 in light of the Hubble tension

F Takahashi, W Yin - Physics Letters B, 2022 - Elsevier
Recently, a low-z measurement of the Hubble constant, H 0= 73.04±1.04 km/s/Mpc, was
reported by the SH0ES Team. The long-standing Hubble tension, ie the difference between …

The physics of light relics

C Dvorkin, J Meyers, P Adshead, M Amin… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
Many well-motivated extensions of the Standard Model predict the existence of new light
species that may have been produced in the early universe. Prominent examples include …
