Quantum cosmology of the Big Rip: Within GR and in a modified theory of gravity
(MDPI, 2017-04-14)
Quantum gravity is the theory that is expected to successfully describe systems that are under strong gravitational effects while at the same time being of an extreme quantum nature. When this principle is applied to the ...
Cosmological Perturbations in Phantom Dark Energy Models
(MDPI, 2017-03-06)
The CDM paradigm, characterised by a constant equation of state w = -1 for dark energy, is the model that better fits observations. However, the same observations strongly support the possibility of a dark energy content ...
Observation of TransverseΛ= ̄ΛHyperon Polarization ine+e−Annihilation at Belle
(American Physical Society, 2019-01-29)
We report the first observation of the spontaneous polarization of Lambda and (Lambda) over bar hyperons transverse to the production plane in e(+)e(-) annihilation, which is attributed to the effect arising from a polarizing ...
3-Form Cosmology: Phantom Behaviour, Singularities and Interactions
(MDPI, 2018-03-03)
The latest cosmological observations by the Planck collaboration (and combined with others) are compatible with a phantom-like behaviour (w <-1) for the dark energy equation of state that drives the current acceleration ...
Observation of an Excited Omega(-) Baryon
(American Physical Society, 2018-08-02)
Using data recorded with the Belle detector, we observe a new excited hyperon, an Omega*(-) candidate decaying into Xi K-0(-) and Xi K--(S)0 with a mass of 2012.4 +/- 0.7(stat) +/- 0.6(syst) McV/c(2) and a width of Gamma ...
The Mimetic Born-Infeld Gravity: The Primordial Cosmos and Spherically Symmetric Solutions
(MDPI, 2017-11-27)
The Eddington-inspired-Born-Infeld (EiBI) model is reformulated within the mimetic approach. In the presence of a mimetic field, the model contains non-trivial vacuum solutions. We study a realistic primordial vacuum ...
Quantum-Gravitational Effects on Primordial Power Spectra in Slow-Roll Inflationary Models
(MDPI, 2018-01-08)
We review the computation of the power spectra of inflationary gauge-invariant perturbations in the context of canonical quantum gravity for generic slow-roll models. A semiclassical approximation, based on an expansion ...
Black hole solutions in mimetic Born-Infeld gravity
(Springer, 2018-01-23)
The vacuum, static, and spherically symmetric solutions in the mimetic Born-Infeld gravity are studied. The mimetic Born-Infeld gravity is a reformulation of the Eddington-inspired-Born-Infeld (EiBI) model under the mimetic ...
Doomsdays in a modified theory of gravity: a classical and a quantum approach
(Elsevier, 2017-09-10)
By far cosmology is one of the most exciting subject to study, even more so with the current bulk of observations we have at hand. These observations might indicate different kinds of doomsdays, if dark energy follows ...
An analytic superfield formalism for tree superamplitudes in D=10 and D=11
(Springer, 2018-05-16)
Tree amplitudes of 10D supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (SYM) and 11D supergravity (SUGRA) are collected in multi-particle counterparts of analytic on-shell superfields. These have essentially the same form as their chiral ...
