No Intrinsic Decoherence of Inflationary Cosmological Perturbations
Universe, 2022 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 ...

Unravelling cosmological perturbations
Physics Letters B, 2018 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,

Cosmological perturbations [PDF]
, 2009 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 ...

Cosmological Perturbations in Double Field Theory
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 We explore perturbative double field theory about time-dependent (cosmological) backgrounds to cubic order. To this order the theory is consistent in a weakly constrained sense, so that for a toroidal geometry it encodes both momentum and genuine winding

Braneworld cosmological perturbations in teleparallel gravity
Physics Letters B, 2015 In this paper we find the fully gauge invariant cosmological perturbation equations in braneworld teleparallel gravity. In this theory, perturbations are the result of small fluctuations in the pentad field. We derive the gauge invariant 'potentials' for

Configurational entropy and instability of tachyonic braneworld
Physics Letters B, 2020 We consider tachyonic braneworld with a bulk cosmological constant and investigate a configurational entropy of various magnitudes of scale factor. It is found that for a bulk negative/zero cosmological constant, the configurational entropy has a global ...

On the Back Reaction Problem for Gravitational Perturbations [PDF]
, 1996 We derive the effective energy-momentum tensor for cosmological perturbations and prove its gauge-invariance. The result is applied to study the influence of perturbations on the behaviour of the Friedmann background in inflationary Universe scenarios ...

Stabilizing homogeneous black strings in AdS
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 It is known that homogenous black strings in flat spacetime are unstable under long wavelength perturbations. Recently, by including scalar fields that depend on the extended coordinates only, homogenous black strings have been constructed in the ...

The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 229-246., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
