We develop a formalism for the identification and accurate estimation of the strength of structure formation shocks during cosmological smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations. Shocks not only play a decisive role for the thermalization…
We forecast combined future constraints from the cosmic microwave background and large-scale structure on the models of primordial non-Gaussianity. We study the generalized local model of non-Gaussianity, where the parameter f_NL is…
We use the spherical collapse method to investigate the non-linear density perturbations of pressureless matter in the cosmological models with the extended quintessence as dark energy in the metric and Palatini formalisms. We find that for…
We generalize the spherical collapse model for the formation of dark matter halos to apply in a universe with arbitrary positive cosmological constant. We calculate the critical condition for collapse of an overdense region and give exact…
We review the argument that latent image formation is a measurement in which the state vector collapses, requiring an enhanced noise parameter in objective reduction models. Tentative observation of a residual noise at this level, plus…
The precision of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments, specifically its lensing reconstruction, has reached the limit where non-linear corrections cannot be ignored. Neglecting these corrections results in biased constraints on…
Some modified (defocusing) non-linear Schr\"odinger models (MNLS) possess infinite towers of anomalous conservation laws with asymptotically conserved charges. The so-called anomalies of the quasi-conservation laws vanish upon space-time…
Tensions between cosmological parameters (in particular the local expansion rate $H_0$ and the amplitude of matter clustering $S_8$) inferred from low-redshift data and data from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and large-scale…
Non-linear evolution of cosmological energy density fluctuations triggers deviations from Gaussianity in the temperature distribution of the cosmic microwave background. A method to estimate these deviations is proposed. N-body simulations…
There are many ways to decompose the Hilbert space H of a composite quantum system into tensor product subspaces. Different subsystem decompositions generally imply different interaction Hamiltonians V, and therefore different expectation…
Dark matter in the cosmological concordance model is parameterised by a single number, describing the covariantly conserved energy density of a non-relativistic fluid. Here we test this assumption in a model-independent and conservative way…
This thesis deals with critical collapse of a massless scalar field coupled to Einstein's equations in spherical symmetry. The system is numerically investigated from both global and local points of view using a characteristic slicing and…
The fine-structure constant, $\alpha$, controls the strength of the electromagnetic interaction. There are extensions of the standard model in which $\alpha$ is dynamical on cosmological length and time-scales. The physics of the cosmic…
We review the relevant 10+ parameters associated with inflation and matter content; the relation between LSS and primary and secondary CMB anisotropy probes; COBE constraints on energy injection; current anisotropy band-powers which…
Possible interactions of dark matter (DM) with Standard Model (SM) particles can be tested with spectral distortions (SDs) of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). In particular, a non-relativistic DM particle that scatters elastically…
Recent emerging interest in experiments of single-polymer dynamics urge computational physicists to revive their understandings, particularly in the nonequilibrium context. Here we briefly discuss the currently evolving approaches of…
Standard quantum mechanics relies on two distinct dynamical principles: unitary evolution and collapse. A mathematically self-contained variational framework is presented that replaces this dualism with a single principle, in which…
The normal parameters are a non--linear transformation of the cosmological parameters whose likelihood function is very well--approximated by a normal distribution. This transformation serves as an extreme form of data compression allowing…
We use here a family of scaling transformations, that scale key rates in the evolution equations, to analytically understand constraints on light relics from cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps, given cosmological models of varying…
We study the covariance in the angular power spectrum estimates of CMB fluctuations when the primordial fluctuations are non-Gaussian. The non-Gaussian covariance comes from a nonzero connected four-point correlation function -- or the…
