Lyman-alpha constraints on warm and on warm-plus-cold dark matter models

Alexey Boyarsky, Julien Lesgourgues, Oleg Ruchayskiy

We revisit Lyman-alpha bounds on the dark matter mass in Lambda Warm Dark Matter (Lambda-WDM) models, and derive new bounds in the case of mixed Cold plus Warm models (Lambda-CWDM), using a set up which is a good approximation for several theoretically wel ...

Classical big-bounce cosmology: dynamical analysis of a homogeneous and irrotational Weyssenhoff fluid

Sylvain Bréchet

A dynamical analysis of an effective homogeneous and irrotational Weyssenhoff fluid in general relativity is performed using the 1 + 3 covariant approach that enables the dynamics of the fluid to be determined without assuming any particular form for the s ...

Cosmological applications of a wavelet analysis on the sphere

Yves Wiaux, Jason Douglas McEwen

The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is a relic radiation of the Big Bang and as such it contains a wealth of cosmological information. Statistical analyses of the CMB, in conjunction with other cosmological observables, represent some of the most powerfu ...

Alignment and signed-intensity anomalies in WMAP data

Pierre Vandergheynst, Yves Wiaux

Significant alignment and signed-intensity anomalies of local features of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) are detected on the three-year WMAP data, through a decomposition of the signal with steerable wavelets on the sphere. In addition to identifyin ...

Steerable wavelet analysis of CMB structures alignment

Pierre Vandergheynst, Yves Wiaux

This paper reviews the application of a novel methodology for analysing the isotropy of the universe by probing the alignment of local structures in the CMB. The strength of the proposed methodology relies on the steerable wavelet filtering of the CMB sign ...

Primordial constraint on the spatial dependence of the Newton constant

Pierre Vandergheynst, Yves Wiaux

A Nordtvedt effect at cosmological scales affects the acoustic oscillations imprinted in the cosmic microwave background. The gravitational baryonic mass density of the universe is inferred at the first peak scale from WMAP data. The independent determinat ...

Classical and quantum consistency of the DGP model

Riccardo Rattazzi

We study the Dvati-Gabadadze-Porrati model by the method of the boundary effective action. The truncation of this action to the bending mode pi consistently describes physics in a wide range of regimes both at the classical and at the quantum level. The Va ...

Gravitational dipole radiations from binary systems

Yves Wiaux

We investigate the possibility of generating sizeable dipole radiations in relativistic theories of gravity. Optimal parameters to observe their effects through the orbital period decay of binary star systems are discussed. Constraints on gravitational cou ...

Localizing gravity on a string-like defect in six dimensions

A study was carried out to determine what happens with gravity around a 3-brane of a specific structure in 6D spacetime with a negative cosmological constant. It was shown that there is a normalizible graviton zero mode attached to the stringlike defect, a ...

The fate of the radion in models with metastable graviton

Riccardo Rattazzi

We clarify some general issues in models where gravity is localized at intermediate distances. We introduce the radion mode, which is usually neglected, and we point out that its role in the model is crucial. We show that the brane bending effects discusse ...
