Nearly Forgotten Cosmological Concept of E. B. Gliner
Universe, 2023 E. B. Gliner started his scientific career in 1963 at the age of 40. In 1965, when the existence of the cosmological constant λ seemed unnecessary to most cosmologists, he renewed interest in the problem by emphasizing a material interpretation of de ...

Cosmology analogues in optical systems [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2020 We discuss the possibility of exploiting polariton-exciton physics as an analogue experimental tool to study challenging ideas and existing problems arising in the context of gravity theory and theoretical cosmology.

Higgs Inflation and the Cosmological Constant [PDF]
Acta Physica Polonica B, 2014 The Higgs not only induces the masses of all SM particles, the Higgs, given its special mass value, is the natural candidate for the inflaton and in fact is ruling the evolution of the early universe, by providing the necessary dark energy which remains the dominant energy density.

, 2002 We review the broad status of cosmology and discuss a model of fluctuational cosmology in which the universe is created in a phase transition like phenomenon mimicking inflation, and which further consistently explains latest observations like the ever ...

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We consider multiverse models in two-dimensional linear dilaton-gravity theories as toy models of false vacuum eternal inflation. Coupling conformal matter we calculate the Von Neumann entropy of subregions. When these are sufficiently large we find that

Inflationary Cosmology and Quantization Ambiguities in Semi-Classical Loop Quantum Gravity [PDF]
, 2004 In loop quantum gravity, modifications to the geometrical density cause a self-interacting scalar field to accelerate away from a minimum of its potential.

Fundamental forces and scalar field dynamics in the early universe
Physics Letters B, 2020 Scalar weak gravity conjectures (SWGCs) attempt to pinpoint the ranges of couplings consistent with a fundamental theory of all interactions. We identify a generic dynamical consequence of these conjectures for cosmology and show that SWGCs imply a ...

Cosmological perturbations without inflation [PDF]
Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2016 A particularly attractive feature of inflation is that quantum fluctuations inthe inflaton field may have seeded inhomogeneities in the cosmic microwavebackground (CMB) and the formation of large-scale structure. In this paper,we demonstrate that a scalar field with zero active mass, i.e., with anequation of state $\rho+3p=0$, where $\rho$ and $p$ are ...
