The excess of continuum gamma-ray emission from the Galaxy above 1 GeV is an unsolved puzzle. It may indicate that the interstellar nucleon or electron spectra are harder than local direct measurements, as could be the case if a local…
We calculate the higher order moments in a sequence of models where the initial density fluctuations are drawn from a chi^2_nu distribution with a power-law power spectrum. For large values of nu the distribution is approximately gaussian,…
The second order perturbations in Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe filled with a perfect fluid are completely formulated in the gauge invariant manner without any gauge fixing. All components of the Einstein equations are derived…
Second order perturbation theory predicts a specific dependence of the bispectrum, or three-point correlation function in the Fourier transform domain, on the shape of the configuration of its three wave vector arguments, which can be taken…
We study the impact of the often neglected lensing contribution to galaxy number counts on the $E_g$ statistics which is used to constrain deviations from GR. This contribution affects both the galaxy-galaxy and the convergence-galaxy…
This is a review of models of inflation and of their predictions for the primordial non-Gaussianity in the density perturbations which are thought to be at the origin of structures in the Universe. Non-Gaussianity emerges as a key…
Likelihood fitting to two-point clustering statistics made from galaxy surveys usually assumes a multivariate normal distribution for the measurements, with justification based on the central limit theorem given the large number of…
The next generation of cosmological surveys will have unprecedented measurement precision, hence they hold the power to put theoretical ideas to the most stringent tests yet. However, in order to realise the full potential of these…
We analyze cosmological perturbations to the linear order in the context of inflation with an arbitrary number of scalar fields. The fields take values on a non-trivial manifold with a positive-definite metric and are non-minimally coupled…
We compute second-order quantum corrections, as quantum dispersions and correlations, to a cosmological model coupling a single scalar perturbation mode to a bouncing background within Loop Quantum Cosmology (LQC). Using an effective…
Perturbation theory in geometric theories of gravitation is a gauge theory of symmetric tensors defined on a Lorentzian manifold (the background spacetime). The gauge freedom makes uniqueness problems in perturbation theory particularly…
In recent years, deep learning approaches have achieved state-of-the-art results in the analysis of point cloud data. In cosmology, galaxy redshift surveys resemble such a permutation invariant collection of positions in space. These…
We build a spherical halo model for galaxies using a general scalar-tensor theory of gravity in its Newtonian limit. The scalar field is described by a time-independent Klein-Gordon equation with a source that is coupled to the standard…
Graviton pairing and destruction of these pairs under collisions with bodies may lead to the Newtonian attraction. It opens us a new way to a very-low-energy quantum gravity model. In the model by the author, cosmological redshifts are…
Starting from a weak gauge principle we give a new and critical revision of the argument leading to charge quantization on arbitrary spacetimes. The main differences of our approach with respect to previous works appear on spacetimes with…
We present an overview of recent developments in the numerical solution of Horndeski gravity theories, which are the class of all scalar-tensor theories of gravity that have second order equations of motion. We review several methods that…
Information about the mass spectrum of compact stars can be used to infer cosmological parameters from gravitational waves (GW) in the absence of redshift measurements obtained from electromagnetic (EM) observations. This method will be…
Even though we know that physical observations are frame independent, the frame dependence of cosmological perturbations is relatively subtle and has led to confusion in the past. In this paper we show that while the (unobservable) matter…
Two-parameter perturbation theory is a scheme tailor-made to consistently include nonlinear density contrasts on small scales ($<100\; \mathrm{Mpc}$), whilst retaining a traditional approach to cosmological perturbations in the…
The "dark energy" problem is investigated in the framework of the Poincare gauge theory of gravity in 4-dimensional Riemann-Cartan space-time. By using general expression for gravitational Lagrangian homogeneous isotropic cosmological…
