The usual account for the origin of cosmic structure during inflation is not fully satisfactory, as it lacks a physical mechanism capable of generating the inhomogeneity and anisotropy of our Universe, from an exactly homogeneous and…
Fractional calculus is an effective tool in incorporating the effects of non-locality and memory into physical models. In this regard, successful applications exist rang- ing from signal processing to anomalous diffusion and quantum…

We explore an effective 4D cosmological model for the universe where the variable cosmological constant governs its evolution and the pressure remains negative along all the expansion. This model is introduced from a 5D vacuum state where…
We develop a stochastic formulation of cosmology in the early universe, after considering the scatter in the redshift-apparent magnitude diagram in the early epochs as an observational evidence for the non-deterministic evolution of early…

In this paper, we use the fractional calculus to discuss the fractional mechanics, where the time derivative is replaced with the fractional derivative of order $\nu$. We deal with the motion of a body in a resisting medium where the…
Using Caputo fractional derivative of order $\alpha $ we build the fractional jet bundle of order $\alpha $ and its main geometrical structures. Defined on that bundle, some fractional dynamical systems with applications to economics are…
We study a space-fractional diffusion problem, where the non-local diffusion flux involves the Caputo derivative of the diffusing quantity. We prove the unique existence of regular solutions to this problem by means of the semigroup theory.…
In bouncing cosmology, the primordial fluctuations are generated in a cosmic contraction phase before the bounce into the current expansion phase. For a nonsingular bounce, curvature and anisotropy grow rapidly during the bouncing phase,…
A fascinating and deep question about nature is what one would see if one could probe space and time at smaller and smaller distances. Already the 19th-century founders of modern geometry contemplated the possibility that a piece of empty…

We consider quantization of the positive curvature Friedmann cosmology in the unimodular modification of Einstein's theory, in which the spacetime four-volume appears as an explicit time variable. The Hamiltonian admits self-adjoint…
We consider the Cauchy problem for stochastic fractional evolution equations with Caputo time fractional derivative of order $1<\alpha<2$ and space variable coefficients on an unbounded domain. The space derivatives that appear in the…
