Under broad assumptions, breaking of Lorentz invariance in gravitational theories leads to tension with unitarity because it allows for processes that apparently violate the second law of thermodynamics. The crucial ingredient of this argument is the exist ...
Stereo vision is a usual method to obtain depth information from images. The problems encountered when applying well established algorithms to real-time applications are due to the high computational load required. In this article we address this issue by ...
We present a sky simulation of the atomic HI-emission line and the first 10 rotational CO emission lines of molecular gas in galaxies beyond the Milky Way. The simulated sky field has a comoving diameter of 500 Mpc/h; hence, the actual field-of-view depend ...
We analyse the process of reheating the Universe in the electroweak theory where the Higgs field plays a role of the inflaton. We estimate the maximal temperature of the Universe and fix the initial conditions for radiation-dominated phase of the Universe ...
Models for the latest stages of the cosmological evolution rely on a less solid theoretical and observational ground than the description of earlier stages like BBN and recombination. As suggested in a previous work by Vonlanthen et al., it is possible to ...
We analyse the self-consistency of inflation in the Standard Model, where the Higgs field has a large non-minimal coupling to gravity. We determine the domain of energies in which this model represents a valid effective field theory as a function of the ba ...
Error Correcting Output Codes reveal an efficient strategy in dealing with multi-class classification problems. According to this technique, a multi-class problem is decomposed into several binary ones. On these created sub-problems we apply binary classif ...
We present constraints on canonical single-field inflation derived from WMAP five year, ACBAR, QUAD, BICEP data combined with the halo power spectrum from SDSS LRG7. Models with a non-scale-invariant spectrum and a red tilt n(S) < 1 are now preferred over ...
We demonstrate that the combination of the ideas of unimodular gravity, scale invariance, and the existence of an exactly massless dilaton leads to the evolution of the universe supported by present observations: inflation in the past, followed by the radi ...
In this work, we present a new framework to cope with problems due to uncertainty. We consider the uncertainty implicitly with helps of Uncertainty Feature Optimization (UFO), i.e. we transform the initial problem to a multi-objective problem. The aim is t ...
