Impact of Low ell's on Large Scale Structure Anomalies

Ido Ben-Dayan, Utkarsh Kumar, Meir Shimon +1

We scrutinize the reported lensing anomaly of the CMB by considering several phenomenological modifications of the lensing consistency parameter, . Considering Planck sp…

Testing gravitational wave polarizations with LISA

Shingo Akama, Maxence Corman, Paola C. M. Delgado +16

In this paper we quantify the ability of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) to test the presence of non-tensorial polarizations as well as modifications to the tensor on…

Gravitational-wave background in bouncing models from semi-classical, quantum and string gravity

Ido Ben-Dayan, Gianluca Calcagni, Maurizio Gasperini +4

We study the primordial spectra and the gravitational-wave background (GWB) of three models of semi-classical, quantum or string gravity where the big bang is replaced by a bounce…

Probing The Early Universe Cosmology With NANOGrav: Possibilities and Limitations

Ido Ben-Dayan, Utkarsh Kumar, Udaykrishna Thattarampilly +1

A stochastic gravitational wave background is a prediction of a number of astrophysical and cosmological phenomena including early Universe Cosmology. Recently, the NANOGrav Collab…

Disentangling the Origins of the NANOGrav Signal: Early Universe Models and Bounds

Ido Ben-Dayan, Utkarsh Kumar, Amresh Verma

We investigate whether an Early-Universe stochastic gravitational-wave background (SGWB) can account for the common spectrum process reported by NANOGrav, while also being consiste…

Evidence for non-cold dark matter from DESI DR2 measurements

Utkarsh Kumar, Abhijith Ajith, Amresh Verma

We investigate potential deviations from cold dark matter (CDM) using the latest Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) measurements from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI…
