Monodromy inflation and an emergent mechanism for stabilising the cosmological constant

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2019
We show that a pair of field theory monodromies in which the shift symmetry is broken by small, well motivated deformations, naturally incorporates a mechanism for cancelling off radiative corrections to the cosmological constant.

Black Holes and Scalar Fields

open access: yes, 2015
No-hair theorems in theories of gravity with a scalar field are briefly and critically reviewed. Their significance and limitations are discussed and potential evasions are considered.Comment: 16 pages, contribution to the Classical and Quantum Gravity ...

Non-relativistic geometry of holographic screens

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2017
We propose that the intrinsic geometry of holographic screens should be described by the Newton-Cartan geometry. As a test of this proposal, we show that the evolution equations of the screen can be written in a covariant form in terms of a stress tensor,

Doomsdays in a modified theory of gravity: A classical and a quantum approach

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2017
By far cosmology is one of the most exciting subject to study, even more so with the current bulk of observations we have at hand. These observations might indicate different kinds of doomsdays, if dark energy follows certain patterns. Two of these doomsdays are the Little Rip (LR) and Little Sibling of the Big Rip (LSBR).

Small free field inflation in higher curvature gravity

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2021
Within General Relativity, a minimally coupled scalar field governed by a quadratic potential is able to produce an accelerated expansion of the universe provided its value and excursion are larger than the Planck scale.

Strong gravity signatures in the polarization of gravitational waves

open access: yes, 2019
General Relativity is a hugely successful description of gravitation. However, both theory and observations suggest that General Relativity might have significant classical and quantum corrections in the Strong Gravity regime.

A spectre is haunting the cosmos: Quantum stability of massive gravity with ghosts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Many theories of modified gravity with higher order derivatives are usually ignored because of serious problems that appear due to an additional ghost degree of freedom. Most dangerously, it causes an immediate decay of the vacuum.

Additive Manufacturing of Continuous Fibre Reinforced Composites: Process, Characterisation, Modelling, and Sustainability

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing provides precise control over the placement of continuous fibres within polymer matrices, enabling customised mechanical performance in composite components. This article explores processing strategies, mechanical testing, and modelling approaches for additive manufactured continuous fibre‐reinforced composites.

Einstein gravity with generalized cosmological term from five-dimensional AdS-Maxwell-Chern-Simons gravity

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics
Some time ago, the standard geometric framework of Einstein gravity was extended by gauging the Maxwell algebra as well as the so called AdS-Maxwell algebra.

Quantum gravity fluctuations in the timelike Raychaudhuri equation

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2023
We consider a timelike geodesic congruence in the presence of perturbative quantum fluctuations of the spacetime metric. We calculate the change in the volume of a bundle of geodesics due to such fluctuations and thereby obtain a quantum-gravitationally ...
