Unravelling cosmological perturbations [PDF]
We explain in detail the quantum-to-classical transition for the cosmological perturbations using only the standard rules of quantum mechanics: the Schrödinger equation and Born's rule applied to a subsystem. We show that the conditioned, i.e. intrinsic,

Intrinsic Entropy of Squeezed Quantum Fields and Nonequilibrium Quantum Dynamics of Cosmological Perturbations [PDF]
Density contrasts in the universe are governed by scalar cosmological perturbations which, when expressed in terms of gauge-invariant variables, contain a classical component from scalar metric perturbations and a quantum component from inflaton field ...

Quantum State Evolution in an Environment of Cosmological Perturbations
We study the pure and thermal states of quantized scalar and tensor perturbations in various epochs of Universe evolution. We calculate the density matrix of non-relativistic particles in an environment of these perturbations.

Scalar cosmological perturbations [PDF]
Scalar perturbations of Friedmann-Lemaitre cosmologies can be analyzed in a variety of ways using Einstein's field equations, the Ricci and Bianchi identities, or the conservation equations for the stress-energy tensor, and possibly introducing a timelike reference congruence.

Parity violating models based on the symmetric teleparallel gravity have been considered in the literature, but their applications in cosmology and especially the features in cosmological perturbations have not been fully explored.

Cosmological perturbations [PDF]
We review the study of inhomogeneous perturbations about a homogeneous and isotropic background cosmology. We adopt a coordinate based approach, but give geometrical interpretations of metric perturbations in terms of the expansion, shear and curvature of constant-time hypersurfaces and the orthogonal timelike vector field.

Linear cosmological perturbations in scalar-tensor-vector gravity
We investigate the cosmological perturbations in the context of a Scalar-Tensor-Vector theory of Gravity known as MOG in the literature. Recent investigations show that MOG reproduces a viable background cosmological evolution comparable to ΛCDM. However,

No Intrinsic Decoherence of Inflationary Cosmological Perturbations
After a brief summary of the four main veins in the treatment of decoherence and quantum to classical transition in cosmology since the 1980s, we focus on one of these veins in the study of quantum decoherence of cosmological perturbations in ...
