Evolution of perturbations in distinct classes of canonical scalar field models of dark energy
Dark energy must cluster in order to be consistent with the equivalence principle. The background evolution can be effectively modelled by either a scalar field or by a barotropic fluid.The fluid model can be used to emulate perturbations in a scalar ...

Scalar perturbations in cosmological f(R) models: the cosmic screening approach
We investigate cosmological perturbations for nonlinear f(R) models within the cosmic screening approach. Matter is considered both in the form of a set of discrete point-like massive bodies and in the form of a continuous pressureless perfect fluid.

Generating cosmological perturbations in non-singular Horndeski cosmologies
We construct a concrete model of Horndeski bounce with strong gravity in the past. Within this model we show that the correct spectra of cosmological perturbations may be generated at early contracting epoch, with mild fine-tuning ensuring that the ...

Cosmological perturbations in the inflationary Universe [PDF]
Previously defined covariant and gauge-invariant perturbation variables, representing, e.g., the fractional spatial energy density gradient on hypersurfaces of constant expansion, are used to simplify the linear perturbation analysis of a classical ...

Transient Antiskyrmion‐Mediated Topological Transitions in Isotropic Magnets
A transient antiskyrmion‐mediated pathway that drives repeated stripe‐to‐skyrmion transitions is revealed, producing a net increase in topological charge in isotropic Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction films. Experiments and simulations identify the antiskyrmion as a metastable excitation, enabling stochastic bitstream generation for probabilistic ...

Appearances are deceptive: can graviton have a mass?
We study the dynamics of linear gravitational perturbations on cosmological backgrounds of massive fermionic fields. We observe that, when gravitational and matter action are expanded to quadratic order in gravitational perturbations on cosmological ...

DENSITY PERTURBATIONS IN A REALISTIC UNIVERSE
We analyze evolution of density perturbations in a flat or open universe filled in with matter, relativistic particles and possibly cosmological constant. Density perturbations grow very slowly in a universe filled in with low mass neutrinos.

‘Turkeys Cannot Vote for Christmas’: Why Epistemic Disobedience in an Anti‐Black World Matters
ABSTRACT Never in the history of global coloniality has the idea of epistemic disobedience been as important as in the 21st century. This is not only because the struggle for decolonisation has shifted from physical confrontation between the coloniser and the colonised into a battle of ideas but also because the former has deployed the idea of ...

PERTURBATIONS IN BOUNCING COSMOLOGICAL MODELS [PDF]
I describe the features and general properties of bouncing models and the evolution of cosmological perturbations on such backgrounds. I will outline possible observational consequences of the existence of a bounce in the primordial Universe and I will make a comparison of these models with standard long inflationary scenarios.

Universal Entanglement and an Information‐Complete Quantum Theory
This Perspective summarize an informationcomplete quantum theory which describes a fully quantum world without any classical systems and concepts. Here spacetime/gravity, having to be a physical quantum system, universally entangles matter (matter fermions and their gauge fields) as an indivisible trinity, and encodes information‐complete physical ...
