We have a well-established standard model for cosmology and prospects for considerable additions from work in progress. I offer a list of elements of the standard model, comments on controversies in the interpretation of the evidence in…
Recent discovery of the rate of expansion of the Universe (Reiss A.G. et al., 1998; Perlimutter S. et al., 1999) is connected with the vacuum energy in space which, in turn, can be considered (Gliner E.B., 1965) as the cosmological constant…
The Comment by Holas et al. [A. Holas, M. Cinal, and N. H. March, Phys. Rev. A 78, 016501 (2008)] on our recent paper [J. Schirmer and A. Dreuw, Phys. Rev. A 75, 022513 (2007)]. is an appropriate and valuable contribution. As a small…
This is a review of key aspects of a model presented at the Lake Como School: Dark Matter, Dark Energy, and the Cosmological Tensions, June, 2025. The associated publication can be found at: A Schlatter and R E Kastner 2023 J. Phys. Commun.…
We claim that the discrepancy found between theoretical predictions for the cosmic mass function and those found in numerical simulations is due to the fact that in deriving the former all mass elements are assumed to be at the center of…
This review covers selected developments in maser theory since the previous meeting, "Cosmic Masers: From Proto-Stars to Black Holes" (Migenes & Reid 2002). Topics included are time variability of fundamental constants, pumping of OH…
Non-spherical dynamical approximations and models for the gravitational collapse are used to extend the well-known Press \& Schechter (PS) approach, in order to determine analytical expressions for the mass function of cosmic structures.…
In this book are studied, from the perspective of the dynamical systems, several Universe models. In chapter 1 we give a bird's eye view on cosmology and cosmological problems. Chapter 2 is devoted to a brief review on some results and…
In 1989 H.Karcher rewrote the theory of elliptic functions through an approach that is much more geometrical than analytical. Therewith he obtained an optimal control over the behaviour and image values of these functions, which allowed for…
This is a new review article for The Review of Particle Physics 2004 (aka the Particle Data Book). It forms a compact review of knowledge of the cosmological parameters as at the end of 2003. Topics included are Parametrizing the Universe;…
In the first part I set out some unexplored historical material about the early development of cosmic topology. In the second part I briefly comment new developments in the field since the Lachieze-Rey & Luminet report (1995), both from a…
We overview our recent studies of cosmological models with expansion and global rotation. Problems of the early rotating models are discussed, and the class of new viable cosmologies is described in detail. Particular attention is paid to…
We compare the mass functions obtained analytically, in the framework of an extended Press & Schechter (PS) formalism, in a previous paper to the numerical mass functions obtained in N -- body simulations, using different algorithms to…
The theory of quaternionic slice regular functions was introduced in 2006 and successfully developed for about a decade over symmetric slice domains, which appeared to be the natural setting for their study. Some recent articles paved the…
In this paper, I test by numerical simulations the results of Del Popolo & Gambera (1998),dealing with the extension of Chandrasekhar and von Neumann's analysis of the statistics of the gravitational field to systems in which particles…
Recent cosmological observations suggest the existence of a positive cosmological constant $\Lambda$ with the magnitude $\Lambda(G\hbar/c^3) \approx 10^{-123}$. This review discusses several aspects of the cosmological constant both from…
The Press-Schechter (PS) formalism for mass functions of the gravitationally collapsed objects is reanalyzed. It has been suggested by many authors that the PS mass function agrees well with the mass function given by $N$-body simulations,…
This contribution to the Proceedings is based on the talk given at the Conference on Birth of the Universe and Fundamental Physics, Rome, May 18-21, 1994. Some selected topics of the subject are reviewed: Models of Primordial Fluctuations;…
This paper deals with some simple results about spherical functions of type $\delta$, namely new integral formulas, new results about behavior at infinity and some facts about the related $C_\sigma$ functions.
Cosmology as an exact physical science is of new date, but it has long roots in the past. This essay is concerned with four important themes in the history of cosmological thought which, if taken together, offer a fairly comprehensive…
