The distribution of matter in the universe shows a complex pattern, formed by cluster of galaxies, voids and filaments denoted as cosmic web. Different approaches have been proposed to model such structure in the framework of the general…

Based on the properties of probability distributions of functions of random variables, we proposed earlier a simple stringy mechanism that prefers the meta-stable vacua with a small cosmological constant \Lambda. As an illustration of this…

The goal of this research is to derive an approach to assess uncertainty in an arbitrary volume conditioned by sampling data, without using geostatistical simulation. We have accomplished this goal by deriving an numerical tool suitable for…

Eternal inflation predicts our observable universe lies within a bubble (or pocket universe) embedded in a volume of inflating space. The interior of the bubble undergoes inflation and standard cosmology, while the bubble walls expand…

We present here a phenomenological cosmological model under perfect fluid distribution with a stiff equation of state $p=\rho$. The erstwhile cosmological constant is assumed to be a time dependent variable, i.e., $\Lambda = \Lambda(t)$ in…

In this paper, we give a possible solution to the cosmological constant problem. It is shown hat the traditional approach, based on volume weighting of probabilities, leads to an incoherent onclusion: the probability that a randomly chosen…

The Hubble constant problem is the discrepancy between different measurements of the Hubble constant in different scales. We show that this problem can be resolved within the general relativistic framework of the perturbation theory in the…

In this article, on the basis of the Langevin equation applied to velocity fluctuations, we numerically model the Partial Variance of Increments, which is a useful tool to measure time and spatial correlations in space plasmas. We consider…

We formulate the transition from decelerated to accelerated expansion as a bounce in connection space and study its quantum cosmology, knowing that reflections are notorious for bringing quantum effects to the fore. We use a formalism for…

This lecture provides us with Newtonian approaches for the interpretation of two puzzling cosmological observations that are still discussed subject : a bulk flow and a foam like structure in the distribution of galaxies. For the first one,…

The cosmological constant, i.e., the energy density stored in the true vacuum state of all existing fields in the Universe, is the simplest and the most natural possibility to describe the current cosmic acceleration. However, despite its…

This study explores the cosmological constant problem and modified uncertainty principle within a unified framework inspired by a void-dominated scenario. In a recent paper~\cite{Yusofi:2022hgg}, voids were modeled as spherical bubbles of…

``Constants of Nature'' and cosmological parameters may in fact be variables related to some slowly-varying fields. In models of eternal inflation, such fields will take different values in different parts of the universe. Here I show how…

Perhaps the deepest mystery of our accelerating Universe in expansion is the existence of a tiny and rigid cosmological constant, $\Lambda$. Its size is many orders of magnitude below the expected one in the standard model of particle…
