We study the growth of subhorizon perturbations in brane-induced gravity using perturbation theory. We solve for the linear evolution of perturbations taking advantage of the symmetry under gauge transformations along the extra-dimension to…
We perform an analytical study of the Integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect within the framework of Unified Dark Matter models based on a scalar field which aim at a unified description of dark energy and dark matter. Computing the…
We show that linear redshift distortions in the galaxy distribution can affect the ISW galaxy-temperature signal, when the galaxy selection function is derived from a redshift survey. We find this effect adds power to the ISW signal at all…
Gravity-induced non-Gaussianity can provide important clues to Modified Gravity (MG) Theories. Several recent studies have suggested using the {\it Integrated Bispectrum} (IB) as a probe for squeezed configuration of bispectrum. Extending…
The Integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect produces a secondary temperature anisotropy of CMB. The main contribution comes from z<2, where dark energy leads to a decay of potentials. As the same photons are gravitationally lensed by these…
Though debated, the existence of claimed large-scale anomalies in the CMB is not totally dismissed. In parallel to the debate over their statistical significance, recent work focussed on masks and secondary anisotropies as potential sources…
The recent calculation on the suppression of the power at low multipoles in the CMB spectrum due to an IR cut-off presented in hep-th/0406019 does not take into account the Integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) term, which is crucial in models…
A modification of the Press-Schechter theory allowing for presence of a background large-scale structure (LSS) - a supercluster or a void, is proposed. The LSS is accounted as the statistical constraints in form of linear functionals of the…
When the gravitational lensing of the large-scale structure is calculated from a cosmological model a few assumptions enter: $(i)$ one assumes that the photons follow unperturbed background geodesics, which is usually referred to as the…
The integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) contribution induced on the cosmic microwave background by the presence of a supervoid as the one detected by Szapudi et al. (2015) is reviewed in this letter in order to check whether it could explain the…
We study the redshift-space fluctuations induced by a stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) via the Sachs-Wolfe effect. The redshift-space fluctuations can be encapsulated in a line-of-sight integral that is useful for studying…
I discuss several issues that arise when trying to constrain the dark energy equation of state using correlations of the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect with galaxy counts and lensing of the cosmic microwave background. These techniques are…
Strong gravitational lensing produces multiple images of a gravitational wave (GW) signal, which can be observed by detectors as time-separated copies of the same event. It has been shown that under favourable circumstances, by combining…
Power spectra and cross-correlation measurements from the weak gravitational lensing of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and the cosmic shearing of faint galaxies images will help shed light on quantities hidden from the CMB…
We study the effect of modified gravity on weak lensing in a class of scalar-tensor theory that includes $f(R)$ gravity as a special case. These models are designed to satisfy local gravity constraints by having a large scalar-field mass in…
The Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background (SGWB) is expected to be a key observable for Gravitational-Wave (GW) interferometry. Its detection will open a new window on early Universe cosmology, on the astrophysics of compact objects and,…

We study the effect of the infrared (IR) geometry on the phenomenology of warped extra dimensions with gauge and fermion fields in the bulk. We focus in particular on a "mass gap" metric which is AdS in the ultraviolet, but asymptotes to…
