The dynamics of cosmological scenarios inspired by quantum gravity [PDF]
PhDIn this thesis we study the dynamics of cosmological scenarios inspired by quantum gravity. Part I investigates novel features of the semi-classical regime of homogeneous and isotropic loop quantum cosmology.

Metaphysics of cosmological models
This article aims to address the metaphysical dimension of cosmological models, be they mythological, philosophical, religious or modern scientific, using multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary methodology.

We propose a model of the Universe (dubbed η CDM) featuring a controlled stochastic evolution of the cosmological quantities that is meant to render the effects of small deviations from homogeneity/isotropy on scales of 30–50 h ^−1 Mpc at late cosmic ...

Stability Of Cosmological Models [PDF]
The stability problem in cosmology is studied using the equations of geodesic deviation. General conditions for stability are obtained. The method is applied to a number of cosmological models, resulting from different field theories. The results are compared with those obtained from FRW -models.

Spherically Symmetric Exact Vacuum Solutions in Einstein-Aether Theory
We study spherically symmetric spacetimes in Einstein-aether theory in three different coordinate systems, the isotropic, Painlevè-Gullstrand, and Schwarzschild coordinates, in which the aether is always comoving, and present both time-dependent and time-

Constraining inflationary scenarios with braneworld models and second order cosmological perturbations [PDF]
PhDInflationary cosmology is the leading explanation of the very early universe. Many different models of inflation have been constructed which fit current observational data.

COSMOLOGICAL MODEL SELECTION [PDF]
We give an overview of the recent progress in the field of cosmological model selection. Model selection statistics, such as those based on information theory and on Bayesian statistics are introduced and discussed. In the Bayesian framework, the marginalised model likelihood, or evidence, is the primary model selection statistic.

On model selection in cosmology [PDF]
We review some of the common methods for model selection: the goodness of fit, the likelihood ratio test, Bayesian model selection using Bayes factors, and the classical as well as the Bayesian information theoretic approaches. We illustrate these different approaches by comparing models for the expansion history of the Universe.

Cosmological Constant from Boundary Condition and Its Implications beyond the Standard Model
Standard cosmology has long been plagued by a number of persistent problems. The origin of the apparent acceleration of the cosmic expansion remains enigmatic.
