Cosmological Dynamics of Interacting Dark Energy and Dark Matter in f(Q)$f(Q)$ Gravity

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 73, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract In this work, the behavior of interacting dark energy (DE) and dark matter (DM) within a model of f(Q)$f(Q)$ gravity is explored, employing the standard framework of dynamical system analysis. The power‐law f(Q)$f(Q)$ model is considered, incorporating two different forms of interacting DE and DM: 3αHρm$3\alpha H\rho _m$ and α3HρmρDE$\frac ...

Quantum cosmology from quantum gravity condensates: cosmological variables and lattice-refined dynamics

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2014
In the context of group field theory condensate cosmology, we clarify the extraction of cosmological variables from the microscopic quantum gravity degrees of freedom.

Loop quantum cosmology: from pre-inflationary dynamics to observations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The Planck collaboration has provided us rich information about the early Universe, and a host of new observational missions will soon shed further light on the ‘anomalies’ that appear to exist on the largest angular scales.

Similarity accounts of counterfactuals: A reality check1

open access: yesPhilosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 110, Issue 3, Page 887-915, May 2025.
Abstract To an unusual extent, philosophers agree that counterfactuals have truth conditions involving the most similar possible worlds where their antecedents are true, in the style of the celebrated and path‐breaking Stalnaker/Lewis accounts. Roughly, these accounts say that the counterfactual if A were the case, C would be the case is true if and ...

Emergence of the product of constant curvature spaces in loop quantum cosmology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The loop quantum dynamics of Kantowski–Sachs spacetime and the interior of higher genus black hole spacetimes with a cosmological constant has some peculiar features not shared by various other spacetimes in loop quantum cosmology. As in the other cases,

A QUANTUM APPROACH TO COSMOLOGY [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We present a theory based upon the treatment of the gravitational field as a sea of gravity quanta, as defined elsewhere. The resultant model for the Universe is a static one, like Einstein first saw, with a new feature: a local shrinking quantum world that completely explains the Hubble red shift under a new point of view.

Dark Dimension With (Little) Strings Attached

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 73, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract A relation between dark energy and the scale of new physics in weakly coupled string theory is motivated. This mixing between infrared and ultraviolet physics leads to a unique corner for real‐world phenomenology: barring fine‐tunings, the authors are naturally led to the “dark dimension” scenario, a single mesoscopic extra dimension of micron

Loop quantum cosmology, non-Gaussianity, and CMB power asymmetry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We argue that the anomalous power asymmetry observed in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) may have originated in a cosmic bounce preceding inflation. In loop quantum cosmology (LQC), the big bang singularity is generically replaced by a bounce due to

Foundations of Ghost Stability

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 73, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract The authors present a new method to analytically prove global stability in ghost‐ridden dynamical systems. The proposal encompasses all prior results and consequentially extends them. In particular, it is shown that stability can follow from a conserved quantity that is unbounded from below, contrary to expectation.
