Nonstandard neutrino properties (masses, mixing, sterile states, electromagnetic interactions, and so forth) can have far-reaching ramifications in astrophysics and cosmology. We look at the most interesting cases in the light of the…
We apply discrete Morse theory, global topology, and persistent homology to characterize the impact of massive neutrinos on the multiscale cosmic web, focusing on filaments. The topology of the cosmic web is sensitive to neutrino imprints,…
