Non-linear matter power spectrum from Time Renormalisation Group: efficient computation and comparison with one-loop

Julien Lesgourgues, Benjamin Audren

We address the issue of computing the non-linear matter power spectrum on mildly non-linear scales with efficient semi-analytic methods. We implemented M. Pietroni's Time Renormalization Group (TRG) method and its Dynamical 1-Loop (D1L) limit in a numerica ...

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 ...

Galileon as a local modification of gravity

Riccardo Rattazzi

In the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati (DGP) model, the "self-accelerating" solution is plagued by a ghost instability, which makes the solution untenable. This fact, as well as all interesting departures from general relativity (GR), are fully captured by a four- ...

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 ...

Lorentz-breaking massive gravity in curved space

Diego Blas Temino

A systematic study of the different phases of Lorentz-breaking massive gravity in a curved background is performed. For tensor and vector modes, the analysis is very close to that of Minkowski space. The most interesting results are in the scalar sector wh ...

Astrophysical applications of gravitationally lensed quasars

Alexander Patrick Eigenbrod

Gravitational lensing describes how light is deflected as it passes in the vicinity of a mass distribution. The amplitude of the deflection is proportional to the mass of the deflector, called "gravitational lens", and is generally weak, even for large mas ...

Gravitational lenses

Christel Vuissoz

The Hubble constant H0 is one of the most important parameters in cosmology, as it encodes the age of the Universe and is necessary for any distance determination at a cosmological scale. It is, however, only poorly constrained by traditional methods. The ...

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 ...

Plasma blobs in a basic toroidal experiment: Origin, dynamics, and induced transport

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Benoît Labit, Mario Ludovico Podesta

Detaching plasma blobs with very similar properties to tokamaks are observed in the basic toroidal plasma experiment TORPEX [ A. Fasoli et al., Phys. Plasmas 13, 055902 (2006) ]. The blobs originate from the breaking of wave crests of a drift-interchange w ...

Strong interactions and stability in the DGP model

Riccardo Rattazzi

The model of Dvali, Gabadadze, and Porrati (DGP) gives a simple geometrical setup in which gravity becomes 5-dimensional at distances larger than a length scale lambda(DGP). We show that this theory has strong interactions at a length scale lambda(3) simil ...
