Removal of two large-scale cosmic microwave background anomalies after subtraction of the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect

Context. Although there is currently a debate over the significance of the claimed large-scale anomalies in the cosmic microwave background (CMB), their existence is not totally dismissed. In parallel to the debate over their statistical significance, rece ...

Phase Analysis of the Stretching Cycles of the Head of Unsteady Gravity Currents Developing over Smooth and Rough Beds

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Helena Isabel Dos Santos Nogueira, Claudia Adduce

Gravity currents are buoyancy driven flows occurring spontaneously in nature or resulting from human intervention. Examples of gravity currents in the water are oceanic fronts, resulting from differences in temperature and salinity, and turbidity currents ...

Proposed new probe of modified gravity

Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy

We suggest a new efficient way to constrain a certain class of large scale modifications of gravity. We show that the scale-free relation between density and size of dark matter halos, predicted within the ACDM model with Newtonian gravity, gets modified i ...

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- ...

The theta parameter in loop quantum gravity: effects on quantum geometry and black hole entropy

Danilo Jimenez Rezende

The precise analog of the theta-quantization ambiguity of Yang-Mills theory exists for the real SU(2) connection formulation of general relativity. As in the former case theta labels representations of large gauge transformations, which are super-selection ...

Cascading gravity: Extending the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati model to higher dimension

Michele Redi

We present a generalization of the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati scenario to higher codimensions which, unlike previous attempts, is free of ghost instabilities. The 4D propagator is made regular by embedding our visible 3-brane within a 4-brane, each with their ...

Black hole bound on the number of species and quantum gravity at CERN LHC

Michele Redi

In theories with a large number N of particle species, black hole physics imposes an upper bound on the mass of the species equal to M-Planck/root N. This bound suggests a novel solution to the hierarchy problem in which there are N approximate to 10(32) g ...

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 ...

Characterization of an inertial micro gripper based on adhesion forces

Reymond Clavel, Walter Driesen, Mélanie Dafflon

Adhesive forces become predominant in the micro world comparing to the gravity effect implying the development of new micro manipulation strategies. This paper presents the design and conception of a gripper that use the inertial principle for the release ...

Transplanckian collisions at the LHC and beyond

Riccardo Rattazzi

Elastic collisions in the transplanckian region, where the center-of-mass energy is much larger than the fundamental gravity mass scale, can be described by linearized general relativity and known quantum-mechanical effects as long as the momentum transfer ...
