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.

Islands in multiverse models

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

Polymict melt‐bearing breccia dikes in the Morokweng impact structure formed by slip‐induced mechanical mixing of pseudotachylite and cataclasite along large‐displacement impact faults

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract A core drilled through shocked and faulted Archean granitoid gneisses and dolerites in the eroded peak ring of the 70–80 km diameter Morokweng impact structure intersects multiple centimeter‐ to meter‐wide clastic‐matrix breccias containing a polymict clast population of lithic and mineral clasts and altered, millimeter‐ to centimeter ‐size ...

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

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 ...

Background Instability of Quintessence Model in Light of Entropy and Distance Conjecture

Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT We apply the covariant entropy bound argument supporting the de Sitter swampland conjecture to the quintessence model, to find out the condition for the background to be unstable. More concretely, the background is unstable when the matter entropy given by the species number of the effective field theory increases more rapidly than the ...

Cosmology, Inflation and the Physics of Nothing [PDF]

, 2003
These four lectures cover four topics in modern cosmology: the cosmological constant, the cosmic microwave background, inflation, and cosmology as a probe of physics at the Planck scale. The underlying theme is that cosmology gives us a unique window on the ``physics of nothing,'' or the quantum-mechanical properties of the vacuum.

Beyond the low energy approximation in braneworld cosmology [PDF]

, 2005
We develop a four-dimensional effective theory for Randall-Sundrum models which allows us to calculate long-wavelength adiabatic perturbations in a regime where the ρ 2 terms characteristic of braneworld cosmology are significant. This extends previous

Advancing Heliophysics and Space Weather Modeling Through Open Science

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We present a community‐wide effort to develop a strategy and action plan to advance heliophysics and space weather modeling through open science. While open science has the potential to enhance the quality and pace of scientific discovery, its application to scientific modeling requires more careful consideration regarding open data and open ...

Cosmological parameters in noncommutative inflation [PDF]

Physics Letters B, 2004
We investigate how the uncertainty of noncommutative spacetime could explain the WMAP data. For this purpose, the spectrum is divided into the IR and UV region. We introduce a noncommutative parameter of $γ_0$ in the IR region and a noncommutative parameter of $μ_0$ in the UV region. We calculate cosmological parameters using the slow-roll expansion in
