Higgs-Dilaton cosmology: Universality versus criticality

Javier Rubio

The Higgs-Dilaton model is able to produce an early inflationary expansion followed by a dark energy dominated era responsible for the late time acceleration of the Universe. At tree level, the model predicts a small tensor-to-scalar ratio (0.0021

Cosmology From Gravitational Lens Time Delays And Planck Data

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Malte Tewes

Under the assumption of a flat Lambda CDM cosmology, recent data from the Planck satellite point toward a Hubble constant that is in tension with that measured by gravitational lens time delays and by the local distance ladder. Prosaically, this difference ...

Optimal polarisation equations in FLRW universes

Julien Lesgourgues

This paper presents the linearised Boltzmann equation for photons for scalar, vector and tensor perturbations in flat, open and closed FLRW cosmologies. We show that E- and B-mode polarisation for all types can be computed using only a single hierarchy. Th ...

Higgs-dilaton cosmology: An effective field theory approach

Georgios Karananas, Javier Rubio

The Higgs-dilaton cosmological model is able to describe simultaneously an inflationary expansion in the early Universe and a dark energy dominated stage responsible for the present day acceleration. It also leads to a nontrivial relation between the spect ...

Dark matter, baryogenesis and neutrino oscillations from right-handed neutrinos

Marco Drewes, Laurent Canetti, Tibor Frossard

We show that, leaving aside accelerated cosmic expansion, all experimental data in high energy physics that are commonly agreed to require physics beyond the Standard Model can be explained when completing the model by three right-handed neutrinos that can ...

Technically natural dark energy from Lorentz breaking

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino

We construct a model of dark energy with a technically natural small contribution to cosmic acceleration, i.e. this contribution does not receive corrections from other scales in the theory. The proposed acceleration mechanism appears generically in the lo ...

Dark energy with non-adiabatic sound speed: initial conditions and detectability

Julien Lesgourgues

Assuming that the universe contains a dark energy fluid with a constant linear equation of state and a constant sound speed, we study the prospects of detecting dark energy perturbations using CMB data from Planck, cross-correlated with galaxy distribution ...

Cosmological Perturbation Theory

Sylvain Bréchet

Firstly, a dynamical analysis of adiabatic perturbations of a perfect fluid is performed to first-order about a general FLRW background using the 1 + 3 covariant and gauge-invariant formalism. The 1 + 3 covariant analog of the Mukhanov-Sasaki and Grishchuk ...

SPACE: the spectroscopic all-sky cosmic explorer

Stewart Cole, Herbert Shea, Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Rachel Grange, Yi Wang, Fabio Finelli

We describe the scientific motivations, the mission concept and the instrumentation of SPACE, a class-M mission proposed for concept study at the first call of the ESA Cosmic-Vision 2015–2025 planning cycle. SPACE aims to produce the largest three-dimensio ...

Cosmic string detection from interferometric data of the microwave background radiation

Gilles Puy

According to the standard cosmological model, the Gaussian adiabatic perturbations that occurred in the early universe produced a pure Gaussian component in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). However, some models also suggest the formation of topologic ...
